Move On, My Friend
When you feel sad or frustrated because you feel that God has treated you unfairly, THINK again- count your blessings.
Education is such an important key to a better future though it is not A GUARANTEED PASSPORT. In my parents’ time, it is so hard to even fund a child up to university level due to circumstances, not only financial but priority perceived by grandparents in the olden days.
WE are so lucky indeed to have parents who sacrifice for us unconditionally just so that we have the chance to study and get a degree.
We all have A CHOICE; so choose your love and love your choice.
Tired of studying? These kids would LOVE to be in your position.
I know of a friend who was upset with his (or from what he implied, his parents) choice, so he got really down. He is so blessed to be given a second chance now, with the support of his parents and encouragement from friends. Yet, things that he has been telling me is so devastating and disappointing….
These kids are struggling to LIVE, and here you are, going on and on a vicious cycle on how meaningless life is. I acknowledge that depression is there to plagued each and everyone of us, and that we can REST for some time when we are so jaded with the journey of life.
Like the Chinese sayings, 休息,就是为了走更长的路. However, we all believe that you have had your rest, it is time to M-O-V-E on now.
I dare you to look into this kid’s eyes and tell him, ‘Life is NOT worth living. I do not see the point of living.’
WE all have our priorities and goals in life, we are also busy and we do not have time to bring time to a standstill to where you CHOOSE to stop at. We are sad as we have failed to bring back the rays of sunshine back to your life. I told you that , ‘Friendship is also like relationship, it takes two to tango. You know he is leaving for HK soon, why don’t for a change, you organise something FOR HIM before he leaves?’
You just had to burst my bubble by saying, ‘He ah, I am NOT that close with him also.’ Sad indeed. He could call you all the way from overseas, and talked among us about how you are doing and how to help you. YOU CALL THAT NOT TRUE FRIENDS?
Ask your heart, ask your instinct-who are your true friends? Who walked in when the rest of the world walk out? Are friends who talked crap in class with you, play dota and magic with you and then after that-CIAO-true friends, in your definition?
Or friends who accept you and do not judge you no matter what. Friends who asked you to go dota after yumcha at murni and encouraged you to play magic tournament, then talked to you and tried to paint the smiles on your face– These, to me, are true friends.
Edward told me something that I would like to share with everyone, ‘Our brains are already so small and we have so many things to take care of. If we were to think of what other people think of us, won’t we be SO BUSY?’
So, fret not, my friend. Let them judge you;
I believe that only true friends will accept you and like you for who you are. For fake friends and those come-and-go people in our lives, we are better off without them.
Quoting Mother Theresa, ‘If you judge a person, you have no time to love him/her’.
This is all I have to say; I am tired too-I have done all I can. I wish to be with people who bring the rays of sunshine to my life, not vice versa.
Move on my friend, tomorrow is a new day! ^_^
God only help those who help themselves.
