A Foriegn Land

Was Just being a typical woman and thinking too much about things in the shower. I realised that the world is a very political place and that even people whose company you are in every single day are those you must be wary of. Not that anyone has done anything to me. Just realised that it's important not to place your trust in the wrong people, except those dear to you that have earned it such as family and a select group of very special close friends. Along the course of life, you will realise how good a friend truely is when you are in need. For example, if you end up in prison, a good friend will be trying to bail you out, your best friend will be sitting in the cell next to you saying, "Boy, That was fun!" These are the moments when the world becomes amazingly clear sometimes, of course not to the extreme that you actually do end up in prison.

Being alone in a foreign land has made me notice a great deal of things I took for granted back home. Being independent, living alone and having to figure out a lot of things on your own accelerates the maturation process. You'll be surprised how fast you learn things when you're thrown into a foriegn environment and are forced to survive. Not that its an immense struggle to do so..But, lets face it, you're not as comfortable as you would like to be. You can't be overly reliant on those around you. Although you can exchange pleasantries with them and ask them for help sometimes, there are upspoken events that happen and reveal to you, the true depth of your friendship with them. Sometimes, the result is not pleasant for you had thought your friendship to be more meaningful than it actually was. Well, shakespeare has got a quote of relevance, he so famously says in his work, All's Well That Ends Well, "Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to no one". Simply put, be nice to everyone, including your enemies or those you distrust. Trust only those that have earned your trust, these people are far and few, and your certainty in them will grow steadily with time.

The bottomline is be very careful of people. Even those that seem nice to you. Do not let your trust in them blind you from other things. Maybe it's me that's become more cynical. I don't know. What I do know is that one needs to be able to take care of themselves by this I mean, watch out for their own back, cause you don't have your parents looking out for you anymore, they're miles away back home. Neither do you have the luxury of having a special someone looking out for you like they always do=p

Thousands of miles help you grow up and enter the real world and break away from the sugar coated care-free one that we spent our entire childhood and teenage years in. It prepares you for the dangers of reality=) Learn but don't become too hardened by the experience. Remain gentle and of gracious spirit, but be aware of the dangers that lurk in the shadows.

Well I was in a contemplative mood. haha=P Taking a bath is the reflective period of my day. It makes me think about serious things sometimes. On a cheerier note, I'm much happier after getting that big huge bulk of saturated thoughts out of my head..now it has more room to study! To freedom! Independence! and lots of happier times ahead!! To new experiences! A new beginning! And experiencing the life on the brink of adulthood! There are so many good things to look forward to in life! As well as spending time with the people you love on holiday=p haha! So yeah, as long as we learn how to take care of ourselves, there are many many beautiful and wonderous things the world has to offer! haha=p Thats a much more colourful thought! haha! CARPE DIEM! Live life to its fullest and Seize The Day!!!
