Relationships make life so complicated, and yet without them we will find ourselves going crazy. We want simple lives, without the hassle of having to deal with the different relationship problems out there, yet somehow they just seem to find us. However, some of us just yearn for these problems to be in our lives. We realise that these problems will never really go away, and so we embrace them, not necessarily with open arms, we learn to live with them. Maybe being mature is not just all about the way you think, and the way you talk, and the things you do. What if there was another side to maturity? What if being mature meant that you knew how to deal with your relationships in a more sensible way rather than just running from it, or waiting for something big to happen?
Today I had to make contact with the ITE students. I was quite apprehensive at first. These people looked like gangsters, they were what society considered "rejects", the "hopeless" people. But I pluck up the courage, and went to the first pair to ask them to help me fill up a questionnaire. I was almost preparing myself for rejection, and ridicule, maybe some hokkien words I might not understand too, but it was not so!! These guys were uber friendly. They asked me all sort of questions, and it was like we were really friends. After that, my impression of ITE students changed totally. I received quite a few rejections, but this first that I met gave me the courage and perseverance to just go all the way, because there are some nice people in the ITE. Today I'm going to be doing StE for the first time. I heard that PArts,SAM and Media would be joining, so I guess I won't be the newest fish in the block already =) 3 days worth of experience, that's something money can't buy.
Do you know it is you? Do you know how I feel? I suspect you do, but you dismissed the thought. It's right under your nose, and you seem like you don't have a clue. Give me hint please, or something to work with. I'm not great with this relationship stuff, so please forgive me if I'm blunt. I like you...
