Collecting Memories- A letter from a dear friend


Another meaningful post.


A very meaningful letter which motivates me every time when I read it, and till now, it makes me regret for not being brave enough to pursue what I wanted.

Friend, I miss you. :)

Wendy,


Em, am supposed to say this to you last Friday when we went out together, especially when you mentioned that you were stressed and tension. But it drags untill the tea just now, when I heard that you have shifted to the course you always wanted! Being a close friend to you, if the only function is to be a shopping companion, releaosing tension, it isn’t enough, right! Therefore, you are not just a shopping companion to me. And that’s why, whenever I hear about how depressed you are, besides my heart aching, the most words of concern to you, I’m not sure, how much effect they act on you. Furthermore, being more fortunate than you makes me feel uneasy to speak to you. I hope I had extra cash to help you pay your tuition fees, but it seems that I still owe you some money; I wish I had more courage to back you up to walk the way you love, but I don’t, I lost the courage when I heard those words from your mom.


Therefore, when I heard that you have finally chosen what you wanted, I am very pleased for you! Really. Though you did not do any elaboration. Please go on, despite what happens, how much hurdle the road in front has, go on, because you will reach the destination at last. I am a passer by, so I know, despite the distance and circumstances, I reach there now! Same for you too! Though there’s many bitters and unwillingness, still, must make yourself a happy person. Being happy is the biggest assignment in life! Try to enjoy the scenery along the journey, you will definitely find some beautiful flowers among the wild grasses. Always let your emotion be in the best condition, so you will not be sorry to yourself. Yes. Talking on the paper is always easy, how to use it in daily life, it will go to how well you apply it. Buck up! Being through the pain, you will find that you actually gain, because the things which happen during the journey, people you meet, will all be your experience that you would bring forward to your future.


No matter how unhappy you are, try to enjoy the suffers, as they are helping you to strengthen your flexibility in life.No matter what happens, remember those friends, family, and dreams that are supporting behind the scene of your life. Continue walking! The show must go on!

This letter is from a very close friend of me, who wrote to me after hearing that I have shifted to the course I like. It becomes real significant, because I have lied to her at that time. I didn't. I decided not to switch course, when I recalled how sad my parents were to hear from me about this. They were worried about my tuition fees, though they never told, I knew it.


If I ever have the chance again in my life, I won't miss it.
