I've been feeling truly happy recently that I miss the misery of sleepless nights and bleak moments that I used to have pretty often, not long ago. Perhaps I am a little bit crazy to admit that I miss misery but you see, now I've come to a clearer understanding - joy and sorrow (like many other supposed oppositions) = two sides of the same coin.

I've never been the sort who derive contentment from a simple explanation - for any behaviour/occurrence that I observe or experience or simply heard of. To me, there has got to be a wide array of reasons for every single thing. And recently, I've come to realise this search in finding meaning/explanation for everything breeds too much misery in me. Misery is healthy, to a certain extent (trust me) but unnecessary misery, that I can do without. Which is why I believe I have come to a point that I relish in the joyous moments. Each fortuitous event in my daily life becomes increasingly significant in my eyes now. With that comes the added beauty in everything I see/feel/hear/smell/taste - no kidding. 

No doubt I will live every moment of my life trying to find meaning/reason for every other thing but I am now aware of the simplicity of things and reason. 

On another note, I finally got to meet up with my dearest girlfriends during this break! Adilah finally got back from UK and will be here only for another 10 days ): and Nabihah got back from KL for a short visit the past three days!! So glad the three of us got to meet up and catch up on all the lost time. It had been truly uplifting hearing their experiences immersed in different cultures. Most importantly, I've never felt like myself in a long time. For one, I get to parade around in my high heels and not feel like I overdressed. Indeed, people change all the time (cliche, who doesn't know that?) but one thing I know I've always held on to - never believe you're meant to be mediocre. 

If you know me well enough, you'd be able to testify that I never settle for second best. 

If you're rolling your eyes incessantly or puking your guts out now, don't worry, you probably just don't know me well enough. That's fine, I don't need every single person to know me well enough. That'd be quite frightening/freaky, honestly. Lol okay I shall not risk sounding too full of myself now...
