well...it is like this..
Spoke to a lovely girl today, someone I've known for 4-5 months? And in this time I've already had quite a huge amount of respect for her..She is a devout Jehovah's witness, who is nothing like all the rumours we hear about.. She is a normal, girl next door, who is absolutely gorgeous..(and as usual, all these gorgeous babes have no idea how beautiful they are...*smacks head*)
She really holds on to her principles. She is well-read, talkative, bubbly...and married! She is 27, and looks 22 la..She doesn't club, smoke, drink. She is as sweet as sweet can be..as wondering which planet la this girl from.. :) So I was curious about her la..seemed like a person who has it all together..
One day we talked about her n her husband..they got married at 22..had the same birthday, and the same age. Her first bf. Same religion. All fairy tale like. She cooks awesome food and bakes delicious cakes..She is like the perfect Bree..
Yet, even Bree has her problems..
Today she confided dat he husband has been MIA for the past year!
I was shocked. She always spoke about him and always referred to him as her husband. He just packed and left. No closure, nothing. No contact number..
And she still lives in their rented apartment, alone although she could go back to her family.
She has no kids (thank God, in the sense she doesn't have an extra mouth to feed) and she did not have a steady income till recently. When she initially had to start paying for the flat, she was using 3/4 of her salary to do so, leaving her with less den 200 a month for the rest of her needs...
She does not have her own mode of transportation, and she works really late at night sometimes. And she realy looks so vulnerable, and her flats...goodness. I am afraid to drive there at 11pm...:S What more take the bus...I guess once you're used to it, it's kinda ok..but still........
It got me thinking about a lot of the blessings we have day to day. Some of us complain about money, family, relationships, work all the time, when the person next to us might be having hell right here on earth and is still able to plaster a smile on...
A night to count our blessings, every one of them..
Good night people! :)

* the only thing on earth that never change is change
Nothing, most of the the, is what it seems.. Life deals us blows.. Our job? Pick up the pieces and move on. We suffer in silence and put up a brave and happy front, not just as a show but to tell ourselves : WE CAN DO IT!
greetings my anonymous readers..*spooked out*
anyways..
Dear deep thoughts anonymous,
I am assuming your meaning to be change is inevitable?
And dear optimistic anonymous,
Yes, we become who we tell ourselves to be..sometimes I wonder if it would always just be a mask or who we really are. I guess that would remain a very fine line to separate the two..
