十个月里，一个月的故事
#1 "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the judgement that something else is more important than your fear." - Ambrose Redmoon
To realise when it is time to leave a place that no longer works for you.
＊
I now understand why some people insist on ending a relationship, even when there are clearly still feelings between two people.
＊
Between staying in an uncomfortably comfortable place as opposed to moving out of your comfort zone into the unknown wilderness, I chose the latter.
Not because I am a natural risk-taker.
Not because I am fearless.
Not because I want to escape.
But because despite my preference for stability, certainty and minimised risk.
Despite my fears that things could get a hell lot harder from this point onwards.
Despite my fears of jeopardising my own future ahead because I refuse to believe it is what others would deem it to be an obvious crucial mistake.
I am surprisingly optimistic that life is not as black-and-white as what people said.
There is something I can see, feel and believe in, which is much more important and necessary than all my fears combined. Not to mention some fears may only exist in my imagination, and only in my imagination only.
I believe in a purpose and a sense of meaning greater than my fears.
If not now, then when?

Q: "Hahah but thanks for telling me eh"
P: "Hahahaha why?"
Q: "You are still v v courageous girl"
P: "Not anymore if I took it back isn't it? Plus I got too many people involved in this"
Q: "No. I think it takes even greater courage to stay back hor"
后来的我们
I chanced upon a photographer's website and checked out the "About me" page, as I always do when I come across interesting profiles. He said that he insists that everyone watch the movie "Us and Them".
As it happened to be a stay-home-and-rest saturday for me and I was in the mood for a movie, I searched it up and realised it was a chinese movie. I briefly understood the storyline without going into much details and just began watching with no expectations.
Little did I know I was headed for a sentimental, thought-provoking, and unnecessary tears-streaming-down-my-face night.
Definitely not what I would have planned for myself tonight.
But this is why I love stories and art, for being able to make me feel deeply.
