hardknocks.

the bottom line
trust yourself -- even if you make a mistake, it will be one that will teach you.

in detail
making choices about your life based on what you think other people want you to do is not only unhealthy, it's unwise. no one knows what is best for you better than you yourself, so stop listening to the know-it-alls who just love to hear themselves talk. trust yourself -- even if you make a mistake, it will be one that will teach you an important lesson. it'll also help you avoid that same pitfall next time. independent thinking is not only healthy -- it is wise!

gosh! this is a wake-up call. "stop listening to the know-it-alls", i shall be doing just that. stop pushing your idealism onto others. are you any better? stop talking like 'i'm still an oh-so-tight-virgin' it just disgust me big-time. i think she has a split personality problem. haiz! at times, i wonder if she is who she really is. other times, i wonder where the real her have gone when she meet with the others.

well, now that we have little contact with each other, it is healthier this way.

even if i've to learn the hard way, at least i know that i've done it and seen the results myself. some people learn life the hard way.

hard knocks at every juncture, get up and face the world bravely. though the recovery journey takes a long time, at least don't be a coward and run away from the problem. the further you run, the nearer the problem is to you. you don't know who might bump into while running, is it a problem or a solver? well, the choice is solely yours to make.
