paradigm shift

I had a heart to heart talk with the most unlikely person in the world. I was shocked and glad that I was able to hear her out for the first time. Its surprising but sometimes the world breaks you (or people do) and you lean whoever is available. THIS is probably one of the memorable times in my whole high school life. in all honesty, wow.

Happy Birthday to Miss Lee Jenn who's been such a dear person to me and to the rest of my circle of friends (harharhar). Congratulations on being 17. :)

And to Katrina, thank you for calling last night. sorry I turned my phone off on you.. i was half asleep since it was school today. SORRY and thanks. I'll live up to my word this time.

On the more serious and thoughtful note, I think my life has sort of come full circle since Form 1. I'm kinda back where I started. Hm, maybe not full circle but a reasonable well shaped polygon. I'm not exactly where I started but somewhere along it with a better head on my shoulders and experiences backing me up.

Just this past few days have broken me down and helped me to see who is who in my life and how messed up my priorities have been lately. I've forgotten the importance of God in my life, I've forgotten who matters. I started my day differently today and it has been different for me. When you look through better lenses to the life you're living, everything is such a different place. Everything is much better and more beautiful that you've known.

for all those who come to the table to be sustained,
for there's joy; there is life here in my suffering'
