A new begining
Last year was a test I belive, to see if we can remain standing after all that is thrown before us. I belive we are still standing and moving forward for a better us a better future.
Most of the people I know has had a crazy 2005 and has come out shining brighter than the sun. It not only is inspirational but admirable!
So after the downfall of last year, personally I belive I’m coming out on top. One thing that is hard for sure, for me that is to type this blog. Typing it for the first time without pressing cancel. Its not the blogging thing that is the centre of the uneasy feeling in my stomach, its the fact that I know people around will always question no matter who you are. Difference is, now I know it will never change.
I would never want to leave Hong Kong but there are times and I am sure many people would agree where all the spirit needs to do is get far a way, at least for a few days. I wonder if the HK people will ever be able to truly and I really mean that in a honest, humble and non-profiting way be able to live one day in HK without making a rude, sarcastic and all over negative comment about another person or persons. Its hard to come by. One moment you are opening your heart and leaning on someone and the next you find it biting you in the ass.
The amount of times my circle of friends have told me crazy stories about eachother, the amount of times I hadn’t said a single word - turns out they all did. There is a common saying between persons something along the lines of ‘you are who you surround yourself with’ So far, I have somewhat purposely distanced myself from circles which I would say would only really ever bring me down. Instead, I find myself surrounded with great friends, ones that when in need are there, no questions asked and most of all no Judgements placed!
This year I’d rather live my life playing the victor instead of the victom.
Rather than looking at why and what about another I’d rather look within and count my blessings. This is what truly gets me through the day! Learning to interact with people again after a hard year has been tough but proven to be a good task.
The people I have had the pleasure of calling friends I always said was the family I had chosen and truly meant it and lived it that way. I’m sad to say some part of me wonders if I had wasted time but what is time wasted if a lesson isnt learned and in my case it is. I guess we all get hurt, its if we can remember the past but forgive it too that makes us grow.
So, to give those rumours a good rest and let me tell you i have had many persons call in the past weeks to say how sorry they are to hear about me and stephen - it really is a rumour guys, we are happy as ever and like any other couple have issues which again like any other couple are ours.
So the begining of the year has proven I’m capable of still standing on my feet. I learned most of the people I thought were there for me weren’t but at the same time I have to ask myself, what was it that I may have done between A - B that changed the course of friendship? Then again it takes two to tango and if only one is ready to resolve while the other not ready to face it, then why go through the pain?
I hope this year brings people together again in positive light without the heavy weight of the unforgiven past!
To end this blog I wanted to let you all know I just started a day job with Asia Rewards, working long hours and enjoying it too. Its been a long time since I enjoyed work! At the same time in two weeks is the launch of Studio K and new venture with someone some of you most probably know but I’ll keep it quiet. Its an online luxury lifestyle product catalogue. Took alot of research and time to get it up and running but finally launch is round the corner… excitement!
