Vuitton's blabberings of the day:
Here I am, with the 2nd post, writing at 2.07am in Luzern. I was just having a chat with a friend who had problems with her room mate, and I must say I did some self reflection after speaking to her and understanding more about the situation.
Firstly, I understand all humans are different. We have different lifestyles and habits that may be hard to change and perhaps may be hard to accept for others. It is hard to change first impressions, and even harder to change yourself, to admit your mistakes and to apologise. Kudos to those who do have the courage to admit and repent.
Secondly, friends are the second most important thing to me in my life after my family. Who can survive without friends? I sure do not know of anyone who can! Life is all about new experiences, socialising, enjoying and sharing your joy with others. I can hardly imagine how it feels like to be ostracised. Kudos once again, to those who have suffered and yet stayed strong during those turbulent times.
Thirdly, I was really surprised with myself for opening up and talking to a certain lady whom I thought was forever going to ignore my existence due to a particular unfortunate event. Personally I admit I don't let go of grudges easily, and neither does my anger appease easily. However, with the coming of age (yes, I admit I am turning older), I realise the importance to forgive and forget. Somethings people say, are best meant to be forgotten. Perhaps it's about time I truly judge a book by its content, and not it's cover. I am beginning to understand the meaning of "better friend than foe".
Lastly, I'm a nervous wreck just thinking about my trip to Interlaken tomorrow for my in-training interview. With feedbacks from seniors I realise that I already have perceptions of how the place and experience would be like - which is tiring and challenging. I was surprised to be offered a job as a receptionist, because I can hardly converse more than 5 sentences in german! Then again, I do very much appreciate this job offer and I hope this is what I am looking for because seriously, jobs don't come by often in dire times like this, with the recession looming and unemployment rate going up.
Well, time for bed. Self reflection has been fruitful today. Still, repentance is necessary. I spent 100+ SFr on shopping for clothes with my close buddies! Oh no! All the money from the part time job.. *poof!* and gone within 3 hours. However, It's nice to know you're appreciated. It's even better to know that you have friends in the world who miss and care for you, and that you're not the least bit forgotten. You know who you are! Thank you darlings!
May I fall asleep within 2 minutes of lying on the bed,
Amanda
