Sometimes I feel like I’ve come so far from my sec1 days. Sometimes I see people who were in my previous position and I think, Hey, I can totally relate to that. But to be honest, nobody really believes that do they?
Even I don’t believe that. I mean, if someone says something that has never happened to you, however close they are to you, you won’t be able to understand. Sure, you’d comprehend the idea in general, but you’d never really understand unless you’ve been in that very position itself. Sympathy is one thing. Understanding is another. Understanding comes with feeling the very same emotions, the very same situation, the very similar experience.
Sympathy is comforting. But understanding, I think, would come from a whole different level that I have never experienced as yet because I have never found anyone that similar to me.
There’s so many people in the world, but nobody’s perfect and everyone’s flawed. If you find a person you like in this messed up world, you’re lucky. And if you happen to find one who likes you back, you’re blessed. That’s what friends are for. They make you realise you’re so blessed.
