reflection

this past week has sort of been somewhat of an awakening for me

its funny how the span of a week can change so many things for so many people.. and in the events that occured, i learnt and remembered significant lessons...

i remembered what it was like to care about people again

i've learnt alot about maturity, about life, love, family and friendships

about not taking people for granted and the value of family... and of friends...

and i was reminded that there was much much much more to life than careers and work and responsibility...

infact … in comparison, all those stresses seem so insignificant now…

i guess in the past year or two i've cocooned myself in a world, one where i could not get hurt... too afraid to reach out to people, too afraid to love my friends whole heartedly... to show that love...

and this past week has taught me to trust, to love and to care about people again.. if that makes any sense...

to make time for the people who matter, not to just to keep it close to my heart and in my head and then go on with life like a robot, but to share it... to express it

because its important to show it, actions mean more than mere thoughts

its important to let people know you really care….

It is often easier to just carry on and absorb yourself in your work, but this past week has reminded me about the importance of balance.

.. sometimes we can all get carried away by the currents of everyday living, but its important to stop, to catch yourself before it smacks you in the face and to touch base with your roots because that is when you are actually living.

so to all my family and my friends, i love you all!
