Relationships
"Then it dawned on me. He always knew the right thing to say or do. In a way, he was flawless, and i couldn't handle that. This is ridiculous. firstly no one is flawless, and 2ndly, what's wrong with that? But i did feel that he was too perfect. And as a young girl with too many imperfections and so much to learn, nothing felt deserved, and that was the main reason it didn't work out."
Isn't life contradicting?
I guess there is no such thing as a flawless person, but a partner who accompany and help you through the journey of life.
For now, I thank Gerrie for her encouragement. All of us are defined into socioeconomic groups, pressurizing us to outdo each other, scrambling up the corporate ladder, to fight for top dollars, and in search of fame and power. Caught dead in the rat race, found ourselves trapped in a nightmare of labyrinthine process of procuring LVs and Pradas to fill up the void space in our lives. Yet at the very same time, reminding ourselves not to cross the threshold to preserve sanity.
There are also many of us who view the future as bleak, not knowing what we really want or like to pursue. Dreams and reality, money and interests... often have to be compromised.
Gerrie has never pressurized me but she definitely made me want to be a better person. Would like to thank her for asking me along this evening with her UQ friends. But I thought the time spent at Starbucks was better.
Sidetrack... congrats to Eddy. Was nice to see him on his first day at 0CBC. Was also great to see Derek and JJ. Take care people.
10 more months to completion of degree. 13 more months before I start making my 3rd career move.
Life goes on.
