Far but not anywhere near

Being away from home allowed me to pursue my dream once more; by living in a different world that I have been my whole life.

I'd like to think that by living the dream, happiness can follow. However, often are we caught in situations that restricted us from being happy despite having the freedom to roam.

As for now, I shall keep my fingers crossed that as my adventure goes along, I can find inner peace and be truly free and happy.

Emptying What's Lost

Through my life, I had only been in 3 proper relationships. To some, this figure might been pretty lean. For a typical guy like me, it sure is. I have read somewhere that people usually only settle down with their 4th or 5th partner, though this assumption might just be subjective.

Four years back, there was this girl I fell for, chased after and made to call my own. On this day, we got together officially and shared the happiness with the many common friends we had. After spending a splendid 3.5 years creating beautiful moments and having one another, little did I know that only upon losing her, I came to realise that I have lost one that truly devoted everything to the one guy she ever loved.

Temptations followed by decisions often lead to separations. There can be no bigger pain than taking for granted what good had always been there and losing it through bad decisions. However, we can only move on and hold onto the hope that everything that happens, happened for a reason. 

Most people will always see the surface of things, but never will they understand the true meaning of one's decision. More importantly, we should learn to be a little less selfish and responsible, and decide what would be best for not just one self but the other party. Sometimes, love was never lost, but moving on is inevitable.

Relationships prove to be a constant learning curve for all humans as emotions are what made us. As I empty the remains of what's lost, I start to fill in with what I have found and will be finding.

Be happy. You deserve to be.

Exposure

It has been six months since I rejoined the organisation that I started my first job at. In a way, things are not going as good as expected; so many things to manage, yet so few hands to carry out. And that is probably why six months felt like yesterday.

Looking back, the only solace must be meeting new people within the organisation at major events. With each new person I meet, the network gets bigger and stronger, and with each friendship forged, the motivation to meet these people again naturally grows.

People's Association, is a unique entity. Though all of us are here for the pay check each month, without a big heart, it can be tough surviving here. Glad to be back, though, I would have wished that time could go a tad less quickly.

2014 will prove to be even busier, faster and gone before you know it. Cherish the good times, and persevere through the bad. All in all, we'll never walk alone.

Perspectives

Most of us don't see, when we are too near.

On the contrary, everything became clearer when we take a step back. Alas, taking a step back meant that we are not near.

Most things are only as beautiful when they are cherished. Never take for granted, for you never know when they are gone.
