Woke up at 9:00am this morning. Only had 6 hours sleep. Not sure what made me wake up... It seems like i'm getting less and less sleep everyday but I have to keep going. I'm somehow forced to have late nights because my brain just can't shut off. Not sure what woke me up so early this morning. Perhaps it was all the stress and worries. I wish I could turn back time and relive my past to better my future...
Had a different sort of morning though. While thinking of going to Uni to study, I couldn't help but reach out for Sophia's beautiful compilation of messages for my 21st birthday which I just couldn't keep my eyes off. When all else seems down... the opening quote struck me:
A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. There is nothing that is an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose - and don't let people tell you otherwise, even if they tell you that purpose is an illusion... You are that combination so that you can do what is essential for you to do. Don't ever believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry, and only you can fulfill the tiny space that is yours.
- Leo Buscaglia
I have been really moody recently. Just trying to reach out and find answers from wherever the answers may lie for so many questions. Hopefully, I can piece together the puzzle soon and supposedly be the "fun and bubbly Mabel" that Alastair mentioned, having the "most outgoing personality i've known in a girl..." as Ivan so nicely described. Not sure whether that's a good thing though. Hah. However, i'm starting to hate who i've become... I think it'd be easier, more respectable to be a *normal* girl? Those dainty, sweet, lady-like, pretty girls that have such sweet smiles and soft soothing voices. Ahhh... I guess that'll happen when pigs fly...
Aveline wrote something - "Dearest Mabel, I have known you for like 8 years and you haven't changed one bit!" <--- Isn't that bad? Hehe. AH TA PI!! Grr! But Burnside years were the best years of my life! So innocent... so free... so fun... Miss everyone from high school. But so much has happened since then...
Looking back... I've lost the genuine smile that used to shine from deep within. I've lost the innocence that kept my eyes wide open, wondering about life... and mostly, i've lost the determination and self-motivation that led my heart and soul to strive for the best...
Gosh, I seem to have lost it all, huh?
