it’s not much of a countdown, but yea, i’m really turning 21 soon. If you were to ask me to think back of a certain teenage year, I’ll always think of the number ‘15′. It was really the ‘prime’ of my teenage years, if I have to put it that way. I was having the most fun in and out of class… band, 3G3, I was most active in church, I was my ‘thinnest’ (-hiakz-), etc…

But I guess turning 21 is really the time I look back, at celebrate the person I have become, because of the beautiful people in my life. People who made so much difference by adding smiles, encouragement, advice, support, fun and cheer, in this world. =) In a world made up of humans, events usually happen without the ‘human’ interaction side, no i’m not blaming the internet. But its the unwillingness to get your ‘emotions’ involved when you’re working with people in sch or at work. It gets ’sticky’ when you understand why the person can’t churn up the report in time. sometimes, you wish you did not know, so that you had the right to demand. Sad, isn’t it.

But I am thankful, for people in my life who care about me. Who are genuinely interested in what’s going on in my life. I talk to them, and I know they are listening. They ask me a question, and I know they are waiting to listen for me reply. Isn’t it just so simple to really listen? You’ll find that it is tough. You ask ‘how are you?’, already expecting an “i’m ok”. Are we ready if the person says “no, i’m not good…”, and be willing to listen that person out?

But I guess, one can’t spread him/herself out too thin. As long as within the tight circumference of friends, one is a true friend. I guess that’s quite enough. =)

I really can’t say enough about how important a personal relationship is. How God made us humans, to be able to comfort, to be able to give a crying shoulder, to be able to just ’sense’ something wrong, to have a soul in our eyes, to cry with someone, to be able to do so many things that cannot be grasp by any other device which we so heavily depend on for comfort/happiness. Just amazes me. Beautiful people. =)

So! Turning back to 21… a celebration of the person I am because of the beautiful people in my life. =]
