maturity creeps up on you slowly, like the dawn creeps up on the night.
the past one year has probably taught me a lot more than the 5 years before- combined.
my emotions have became less affected by people around me. this isn't to say that i've turned cold or more guarded. far from that. i think i've realised that i need to have some reserve for myself, like an emotional piggy bank, so no matter how bad a day goes, at the end of the day, there is a limit to how it can affect me.
i noticed that i've became more forgiving, more accepting. perhaps it is age, i don't know. perhaps going through a difficult time made me realise that everyone does at some point. will that person be at his best behaviour? no. will my anger help someone's bad day? no. i've learned to give someone in need my time,
i am not so great with people. how do i put this in words.... i am a friendly introvert. in that i may not make the first move in initiating a friendship, but i welcome them. in fact, u make my day if you do. i love how my travels have given me the chance to meet, and hopefully have meaningful friendships with people from greece, bosnia, czech and the most recent one, budapest. it makes me happy that people are the same inside. it is amazing to think that at some point, we shared laughs together over a joke at a place foreign to both of us.
life, age, time. whatever you call it... thank you.
you are a great teacher. alhamdulillah for this chance.
