#29 The person that you want tell everything to, but am too afraid to

The last such person in my life was probably J.

I was fearful that saying what was on my mind would bring about abrupt endings.

But things were getting too much to bear so I decided what the heck
and went ahead with it anyway.

Ultimately, it did make things end in some way.

But contrary to what you might be thinking, I have no regrets for speaking
my mind because the relief from it was immense. 

Life goes on and people will soon forget about these petty and insignificant things that happen
to them once in a blue moon.

I mean, at least I would.

I was looking for some kid near the canteen when two P4 girls (with their P1 buddies in tow) came up to me and smiled real shyly. I've seen them around previously and would usually smile to greet them so I'm not exactly unfamiliar to them.

One of them: Teacher, you are very pretty.

Me: Aww. Thank you :)

While I looked all calm and steady on the outside, this was how I really felt on the inside:

You know people always say kids don't lie... heehee.

tired

It's the beginning of 2013 but I'm already starting to feel weary.

I wish I can find some hole and curl up in there until the sandstorm blows past.

lessons from dating

It's the start of a new year and I'm tempted to talk about shiny new beginnings but I'm saving that for another entry (my backlog is only getting longer). 

For now, I'm just going to share something that offline/online dating's taught me in the past year:

You meet people whom you have sparks with,

you meet people whom you don't have sparks with,

and you also meet people whom you don't want to have sparks with.

Of course, this doesn't come entirely from me.

I'm speaking on behalf of some of the people I've met. So far.
