just finished my isyak prayers.
thank god it brings a calmness to my soul. i need it.
We must come across hundred of thousands if not millions of words in our lives, whether spoken or read. Quite a few make a lasting impact though.
I remember, back in high school i tried to get with Rina, i remember the words told to me were 'immature'. That single word totally changed my mindset further on. I started to try act and think more maturely.
I remember, in high school, boasting about my trek up mount kinabalu. Nadira said that i was being an 'arsehole'. That single word showed me the importance of humility.
I remember back in 2004, i had rekindled things with Liv for a few weeks. I remember she said that I should put on weight. Ever since that year till I now i have put on 20 kilos. It instilled in me a fear of being really skinny
I remember every night my grandfather would say "see you in the morning". I reminded me the importance of optimism
I remember conversations with my mum would usually end with "I Love you". Savour those words from your parents.
I remember a couple of weeks ago at Sam and Ritchie's party. I met chrissie, whom I hadn't seen for 2 years. I didnt even recognized her. We caught up and had a chat, she said "it may not mean anything to you now, but thanks for being honest with me" . She had left her abusive boyfriend, got off the drugs and was moving away from brisbane for good to start a new life. Those words reminded me that gratitude exists and the importance of words that need to be said.
Tonight I received more words that shall leave a last impact on me. For that once again I am grateful.
