the past few months for me has so far been the most trying time of my life. there was so much going on (though most of it was due to how i perceived things) and i just kept swimming in my own mess. i was really on the verge of a breakdown. the two weeks back to Singapore allowed me to take a breather, and step out of it entirely.

and i'm glad it made me realise TWO things.

1. Patience. One step at a time.

i've been rushing my life too much this year. i have to slow down and remember that life is a journey. why rush to the finish line? take things one step at a time.


2. You're responsible for your own happiness.

no matter how hard the people around you try to make you happy, if you still choose to be unhappy, you will be. i'm responsible for my own happiness. i should have never, ever (and i really regret this) made anyone feel responsible for my happiness. it's undue pressure. and for that, i'm truly sorry. and i'm sorry for dragging you down too.


with the above in mind, i hope to start 2011 right.

but i won't wait till then to start; i'll start right now.
