A piece of my mind

It's a tiring day today but I was indeed happy. It's kind of weird to say that I feel happy washing dishes but somehow this is the feeling that I get when I was doing that chore.

To this 'someone' who thinks he knows me so well:

I just want to tell you that I love the way my life is going right now and I am not going to regret it. Don't you know that I love to start working from the bottom? Keep on looking down on me and I will succeed better than you expected me to do. Thank you so much for all the advice that you have given me and they didn't actually go to waste. I did listened and I deliberated. I choose not to follow your advice as it is not something that I desire to do. This course is my passion.

You keep on telling me that I will not like what I do but do you really, I mean REALLY know what I want to do? You only see me once a year (or less) yet you acted as though you live with me under one roof.

Is discouraging me what you think will make me a better person? I can tell that you want me to do something else just because you think my result has gone down the drain? I sat for STPM not because I wanted to go to public uni but the main purpose of it is for me to think through what I truly wanted to do. Well, I guess you will not understand that point at all since you didn't approve me of going into Form Six in the first place. Albeit pointless, I feel so much better writing that out.

Anyway, you have never taken up this course and tried it. You told me what I see right now is beautiful, but in the real world, things are so much different. Such wise words! Who doesn't know the real world is harsh? I have learnt a better phrase. No pain, no gain.

Anyway, I am so grateful to have such a caring person like you to voice your opinions which I highly appreciated. If you really read this post and deemed me to be rude, I hereby apologised because I am merely typing what I thought and had tried my best to filter my words to make them sound less hostile.

Exam's round the corner and I have to study so I will not harbour on what you have said to me a few months ago. You are not affecting me. I will not let your discouragements affect me. Or my life.
