Right now, I'm just waiting on the radio for a song that brings back memories so that I may entitle this post with something meaningful. Whilst the stereo tries to tune itself to me, today is more than just the eve of Diwali. Prometheum Day went as per usual but something hit me as we rose for the Institution Anthem. Fret not for this has nothing to do with school patriotism (because honestly IDGAF) but as our mellow voices melted into a single unifying beat, it brought me back to the first day I sat in that school hall. I remember crystal clear that I whinnied a laugh when the school greeted the teachers. Back in those old days of my cantankerous self, nothing seemed to be more amusing than the fact that the entire school was well, made of men (and men-to-be). I know not what tickled me back then but the notion of entering a new realm of men with such hollow and yet commanding voices alerted me to something new. Now, I have woken up.
Only silence has its ending
It's difficult to reminisce about the past when those glimpses of history seem to flush past your grasp each time you reach into your memory flood. A whirl of nothingness and just a messy blur seems to have occupied the large part of my memory and when such moments of recollection happen spontaneously, it makes my heart melt. Have you not ever recalled something and just wanted to break down crying, knowing that it was a moment of your past, a fragment of your soul, a distortion of who you are now. Frankly, I have grown.
Like I'm made of glass
Amidst the lost time I've been trying to catch up with, I have learnt much more about the 'Feeler' within me. Albeit I usually regard the MBTI profiling with a pinch of salt, it makes me wonder how this 'F' personality has stood out over my life. Just yesterday, I was caught in one of the worst dilemma ever (at least to me). I had to choose between 2 juniors to take as my hike companion and although I knew who was the outstanding figure in terms of skill and physique, my heart faltered (in a good way) when I analyzed the situation from a more humanistic angle. I know this can't say much but after much soul searching, I've resolved to become a veterinarian for good. Frankly, I don't give a damn if I don't strike a fortune from this career but all I know is that it's going to be awesome (:
