Brave New World.

Wow. W-O-W.

Hihi,

Just finished reading Ms (Susan) Soh's academic blog. I particularly appreciate Ms Soh's post on her personal experiences in *cough* suicides and thoughts about suicide.

Ms Soh does have a point. Her last paragraph has a great sentimental value. We are important in our own way. I can never imagine my life without meeting my friends, new and old. We leave our marks on their lives. They leave their marks on ours. We will forever share a relationship with each other. A bond made between friends.

It's actually pretty hard to bring yourself to express so much about your personal life to outsiders, a courage many (including me) do not have. Many of us just bottle up our feelings, but one day, that particular bottle will implode from the tremendous stress. The consequences might be dire. One word - Suicide.

It's actually quite easy to pour out the contents from that bottle, to start anew. Make friends. Make friends that will listen. Listen to your everyday ranting without a single sound. Friends that would understand. true friends.

I believe I have friends that are true to me. They listened when I was being overwhelmed. They lent a shoulder when i wanted to cry. They helped me survive. They are one of the factors that keep me driving on. Thank you. Thank you all. =)

Why, oh why, do you think about suicide? You might think suicide is a way of ending everything, but is it really a way to do so? In fact, it will just cause more grief to the world. Grief to your family, and grief to your friends. Even teachers.

A person you meet in everyday life each has thier own value, each contributes to society, in thier own way. They aren't just another person in the world that is queueing up to buy kway chap, but an individual. A individual thinker, an individual learner, an individual personality.

It is in fact quite hard to express what I am trying to say, the convey my message, but to put it in layman's terms, one should always appreciate another. They are the things that have an impact on your lives, in their small, but significant way.

You have only one life to live by. Cherish it. Live your life to the fullest you can.
