I am so glad the examinations and academic hell (according to the lovelies) are finally over for now. It's been some many weeks of roller coaster rides with events/things/people/emotional all knocking on my door almost simultaneously. I must say, it's been one of the most strenuous month. Well, I managed to survived, anyway.

I had one of the most heartfelt conversation with love recently. And I am very very thankful + grateful to have my family and friends around. I realise I couldn't have been where and who I am now, if not for them. Sometimes life gets busy, we get so tied up with datelines to meet and so much more to juggle. These are the people who will always be there down and out, rain or shine, thick and thin.

As I grow older, I begin to realise that sometimes it's not easy to keep the close friends close because there are bound to be time when you'll go without seeing each other for months or even years (like how I haven't met Ayantika for at least 2 summers now). Nevertheless, they who will be close will stay close for very long.

And it's even harder to meet new friends who are gems. It takes time to build friendships and make connections. But I think, when you meet the right people with the vibes that connect with one another (which hardly hardly ever comes by), you'll make the new friends who will be the other group of close friends. I am very thankful for the lovelies in school. As well as all the other people in school who have been very kind and helpful in many ways.

I am thankful to live through each day learning so much more from my kiddies than I could ever have taught them.

It's a blessing to have everyone I have in my life. And I am very very grateful.
