Feeling so fly



Teeeheee yes we're all looking forward to FEM! Ahhh really can't wait (:
Okay so. My third post in the day LOL but I needa talk about this. On my way home, Dad was talking about reading some newspaper article on the 3 qualities Medical school interviewers are looking for in applicants: Compassion, commitment and something-else-that-didn't-exactly-start-with-a-c-so-i-forgot. Yupp anywayz my mind just wandered off to the humilty thing, and I realised,
Who am I to be judging anyone?
Especially those who expected me to understand them.
I thought about both of the incidents (those which I feel the worst about. Not saying others are not important) and I realised, if I really wanted to be a good friend to them, I wouldn't have been so quick to pass judgements on them.
"Love is patient, love is kind."
So now I must tell myself that whenever I say "I love you" to a friend, I must remember the implications that these 3 words carry with them. It's like a promise I'm making to be kind to them, and to accept them for who they are.
I tried to picture myself in each of their shoes (yea it was a 40 minutes car ride cos we had to drop my grandparents off so i had ample time) and I realised I could've been wrong about them. One of them simply didn't care about what others thought about her; she was just being herself. There's nothing wrong about that. The other just needed more love and care from her friends - someone I neglected, because I always thought she was the happy-go-lucky kind.
So right now my goal for this year is to not pass slap-dashed (heheheh i'm using this in the wrong context but whateverr good pun lol self praise sigh) judgements on anyone, because I have no right to. It'll be hard, but I think it's the basic respect I should have for others.
If I want others to not judge me, I shouldn't be judging them either. YUPP okay that shall be the message that pushes me on for this!!
Yay okay dear Lord I pray that I reach my goal for this year and that Raffles Netball is blessed tomorrow (and for ever and ever)
Amen
