the transition

There comes a time when this child needs to grow up and face her challenges and responsibilities. It’s a tough transition, and I’ve been dragging kicking and screaming all the way, but I know I’ll be able to get through it. This is not the time to give up on this life, my girl. Keep moving.

 

So far, I’ve been given one too many tight slaps the past couple of weeks, enough to understand that this is not a world of ideals, it is not a world where ppl with principles and fair-mindedness will survive. Today I feel I’ve grown up a bit more. Learnt a bit more. Suffered quite a lot more. But all for a good cause. Thank you, adversity. For without you, I will never learn the way. It may have been a prolonged suffering, but after today, I will look at you in a different light – I will see you and pity you for the things you are not, and will never become. Adversity, you are now my friend.
