Reflection

Recently, it struck me that I'm actually at a pretty good place in life now; perhaps I've never been better. Academically, I did decently well last semester, definitely way better than my past 10 years of education. I got into the U-Programme that I applied for, and also will be going for W-T in summer. As for sports, I've probably improved on several - hockey, floorball, badminton - and even learnt a few new ones - soccer, squash, floorball, softball. My fitness has probably never been better. Even my diet is doing pretty good, now that I no longer seem to get huge cravings for rich and good food. I'm eating less fried/oily food, learning to enjoy more light/soupy food, and in smaller, healthier portions - no longer overeating or bingeing. Heck, and talk about my body clock now. I start getting tired by 12midnight, get unbearably so by 1.30am and mostly get up at about 8.30am. How freaking healthy is that! I even make it a point to eat breakfast nowadays. As a result of the above - sports and diet - I'm actually pretty slim right now, and -gasp- toned too. Still tanned, of course. I'm buying and wearing clothes that fit better, and exhibit more taste, but style comes with time. Mentally, I'm stronger and more assured, and slowly learning to accept - and hopefully eventually embrace - my potential and abilities without the apologetic attitude. I'm also gradually letting my feminine side show, trying to find a balance between my masculine mindset and feminine instincts.


So, I'm really at a pretty good place in life now. A little tired, and quite emotionally unsettled/perplexed at times (after all, things can never be too good), but really, I have alot going for me.

I feel blessed; thank you.

Extremely unrelated, but I think the raintree is pretty much symbolic of our country - it being a foreign species which has grown well and come to be subtly emblematic of the society which has adopted it.
