disappointments can hurt us very badly in life, especially if we're not careful with how we deal with them. string after string of them are heading my way...why can't things just go my way this christmas! hmph.

okay, that was such a kiddified moment. i shall grow up and be more reasonable.

fine, things didn't really go the way i wanted them to but i realised i have a lot to be thankful for. i have my wonderful dear darling friends, my attention-grabbing family, (i can't believe i'm saying this but) studies to look forward to. this season, the perfect gift for me is to give up my comforts and luxuries.

after all the disappointments, i realised how blessed i was. i've got presents even if i don't have the party, i've got dear(s) to relate to even if i can't see them everyday, i've got a family who cares for me so much they'd do everything possible to make me happy...sigh, how can i not be grateful for all these???

is it true that when you love someone, you sometimes push them away?
