It takes a loss before you found it

It takes a loss before you found it

Saw the tag Mel tagged. "If even you are down then there's no hope for us already." It made me cry a little, but it made me wake up to my senses. There is no use wallowing in sorrow. No, what's more appropriate to say is there is no point in just wading in depression and letting myself stay there. And as I type this, I am really finally seeing the light -- Something that all along, only I can see for myself. My heart's becoming lighter, the knot of anger and pain slowly loosening. I feel the world's becoming brighter and better, a bit of an irony since it's just a figure of speech and the world is becoming darker with the hint of a threatening lightning storm. Maybe the heavens are happy for me that I've come to a realization and I can salvage this wrecked mess. But maybe I should stop being egoistic, thinking that I can control the heavens. I'm consoled however, that the rain should come in such a time, since it has this therapeutic effect on me.

It probably takes someone close to me to knock some sense. It takes time to see the truth, to see the light, to open your heart. Thank you Team-04. I suppose life would be much better after all. I really really hope.

And after this, I think I would really pull my socks up and not disappoint myself. Disappointment with myself is the most hurtful.. thingy I have ever encountered. Bad for my mental health. In any case, yes, I am really going to put my best into everything now. I fall and I will climb back up.

On a lighter note, funny how ink catridges come in packages like biscuits :D

And in response to Melissa, Zhi Xin's not going down anymore.

There comes a time when you realize that,
When you're down, there's no way to go but up.
