Bittersweet
Such a cliche, I know but there is really no other way to describe this ambivalent feeling of relief and sadness at the same time.
Tomorrow, I collect my long lost pink I/C and boy am I glad. It signifies many things - freedom, a new chapter of my life and the entry into adulthood. Almost two years ago, I was lamenting and dreading everything. Looking back, it was silly of me to think that way. I think it's safe to say that NS was one of the more beneficial events of my life given how much I've learnt.
It's always tough to say goodbye, but I need to move on and step into the life that defines who I really am. I'm grateful for the lessons, the friends and the experience, regardless good or bad and I will carry these memories with me as I continue on my journey.
Like the two years in JC, these two unique years in NS flew by in a blink of an eye. Time really passes by quickly and that is a good thing sometimes. In fact, right now, all I hope is for it to pass even quicker, just so that my life ahead can finally become certain.
