Recipe for epiphanies

• How exciting it is, to experiment. With an objective in mind, with your different variables on stand-by, with a constant as control. Now is the time to do it, they say. And so indeed. Let's do trial and error, let's be brave and courageous. If there's a time to step forward into the unknown, into uncertainty, into paths less travelled, let now be it.
• "You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain." - Wise words from a dear friend
• I truly enjoy my internship. Like what I told someone, I really like what I do, and this could be a taste of how it feels to do something you like, and it doesn't feel like work. Of course you'll get tired, physically. But your mental state and your mind and spirit, will be rejuvenated. Everything you need to boost your creativity, risk-taking, competition with yourself, to do good is there
• I now know that I have tons lots of patience, for certain things. And an awful lack of it for others. Kinda like what I have patience for.
• This is also a test of my values and beliefs. I either lose them, or strengthen them ever more

I am thankful for the other wonderful interns I get to meet in this internship. They give me the chance to relive the kind of Uni life I never had. They give me the chance to relive secondary school... in a way. We have more or less the common break time. We see each other everyday. We laugh, we play, we work hard, we cheer each other on throughout the day, we hang out after work. We support and are generally happy every day. It's something so infectious I never once stop laughing with them.

There is always a right way (and a right time) to do things. I don't believe in excuses, but I believe in sincerity, forgiveness and growth.

And finally, I think we are more or less experiencing the same thing in this phase of life, my friends. Slowly letting go of that child in us, shedding away our naivety and taking the step forward to face reality. Throwing excuses but shaking them off afterwards, only to stand up to take charge of our responsibilities in the family, in society, in life. Fighting for what we believe in, fighting for the life we want ahead. We cannot handle all these without being ultra busy ourselves. Once it gets inside you, it is difficult and disruptive stop. We have gotten so busy to a point that, whatever time that's left after a day's work, we don't even have enough for our own self. 

And that answered my childhood question: why can't my parents still meet up with their close friends as often as I did then?

Good night dear all.

May you have a Wonderful Wednesday ahead!

(Kinda typed that 'cause I saw someone write in an email: Have a Terrific Tuesday! during work. And I think she did it for the other days also, have yet to see them yet. Hehe share the kindness around. The world needs more of it)
