:) it's here so i can re-read what you said
8 February, 2008
it is not often when I set aside time to construct a post dedicated to a single person, nor space on my blog; but I think this particular friend deserves it, whether she ever reads this or not. Ha.
There is a part of my past that I always used to specifically erase/lapse from recollection, ironically due to the profound impact it had on me. Memories, people, and events that I preferred not to recall I believed could be conveniently forgot. And I succeeded, for a long period of time, by sheer strength of will and other factors like the simple hustle and bustle of life.
But I guess God had different plans. As I wrote on that m&m container, like an ephemeral time traveller you popped back on scene, and I was forced to confront my demons of the past once again. Haha it was about time anyway, something I knew I had to do, yet never was able to bring myself myself to, simply because there was no compelling enough reason.
You have helped me in ways I never thought possible, and the positive impact you have made on my life even in these few short weeks cannot be described in words, for they do no justice. I don’t know how much that same episode of the past affected you (though it’s quite immaterial really - the answer does not change my sentiments) but you were the much needed reminder that there was much more to life to dwell on things of the past, and pay so much heed to it; because of your maturity was I able to carry on, to move on, without any form of baggage anymore.
haha. stupid me really, but well
I was looking through archives of the past. MSN convos, devotedtomilk (of which i’ve forgotten my posting details boo), your old blog, everything. And I am sad really. Sad I lost so much time, sad I took so much time to grow up, sad that you’re now about to go.
but alas, I know that the good Lord has plans, and the plans are best for everyone. I know that He has great plans for you in the next chapter of your life, and I pray only that you are able to continue being a blessing to the community there, and touch them even as you have touched us.
so I end this with a goodbye. To a dear sister in Christ, who was one of the key individuals who sparked off the revival in my spiritual life. To a dear friend, for all the fun, laughter, and tears. To a fellow ACSian, who has a teeny bit of red, blue, and gold flowing through her veins now. To elx.
Goodbye.
