a year on..
today officially marks my 1st year back at starbucks.
3 more days from my 1st year out of the army.
hindsight makes you incapable sometimes of realising the beauty of a lot of apparently bad decisions or incidents. i am determined to not make that mistake.
you learn from everything - good, bad, happy or plain ridiculous circumstances can always yield some sort of lessons. what i've learnt from this year was :
1. to appreciate love. be it family, your significant other or close friends. their company or thoughts makes things bearable in an otherwise single-minded society.
2. i need to do more theatre. i've let myself be sidetracked by too many things and too many fears. should have just done it.
3. i don't miss the army at all. maybe those free days i had when i was on mc. quite a few of those....yeah, you could say i missed times when i was missing from the army.
its been quite a year. i've felt like i've been stuck in a jam to an unknown destination and when i realised where it led to, i couldn't decide to go straight, turn left or right or turn back. yes yes...this was a year of the cliched crossroad/s.
so as we slowly creep into the end of 2008, i'm gonna spend the last month building up to the new year. savour the last few days of 2008 before the years become a blur of insignificance.
