These few weeks have somehow been rough for me emotionally.

& thanks to this emotional turbulence, I am gradually learning to recognize people who treat me with genuine care and love,

and differentiate them from people who just don't bother to give a damn but still choose to involve me in their life because after all, we're friends.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather lose friends like this than having them around hiding behind their pretentious masks.

I used to tell myself not to get attached to people, cos I thought it's all gonna end up the same way.

Conflicts and disagreements occur when people get too close and it will somehow leads to all that drama if it's left unresolved.

It's inevitable.

But when people are being real to you, it's okay to be attached and close as much as you can get.

And rest assured you won't get hurt.

Because when you love somebody, you will do anything to protect the person from being hurt.

It's a painful realization, but it's all worth it :)
