Misunderstood

It's a tough feeling. When the very friend you trust is also the friend you must be wary of.

In life you learn lessons along the way when things go wrong in love, studies, work.

Sometimes you only know things are going wrong when it's too late. Sometimes you see them

but you can't do anything about it. Sometimes you wish you didn't say something but you did.

Sometimes you tell people things not expecting it to end up in the ears of the person you

don't want most to hear. But these are life's lessons. No one is to blame anyone. Because

the blamer ends up being at the root of it - why say or do it in the first place? Life's

lessons are expensive. For someone who prides himself in streamlining all daily operations

and ensuring that life does not take more detours than it has to, I can only say, I have

succeeded only in academic aspects mostly. I did not take longer than I had to to finish my

degree with an overseas stint to boot. I have managed to secure internships and temp work

with pretty good timing to make sure my vacations didn't go to waste, but that's just drive.

And I am glad I had it nonetheless.

Regret regret regret.

No one teaches such lessons in life. But people are watching and judging you all the time for such qualities or the lack of it. It's a tough world out there. Yet that is precisely the motivation to overcome and succeed!
