Bittersweet Me
Am I a bitter person?
Well…I used to be. I hated the people around me. I hated having to live with, work with and interact with people. I hated the fact that I had to put up with people.
The problem is that people are everywhere. Short…tall…thin…fat…beautiful…ugly…both in looks and attitude. You can’t avoid them. So how? Just be happy la…
I guess my few days in reservist, brought back memories of happier times. I worked with wonderful people who made me happy. People who made me feel that I provide value in their lives. People who appreciated me. Going back to my old workplace woke me up from this nightmare that I lived in.
I’m glad that I’m no longer a teacher in the MOE. It made me a bitter person. I had the courage to get out of it. My sanity…my life was at stake. When I left and started working somewhere else, I still felt some bitterness. But going back to happier times removed the bitterness that remained. Thanks to the past, my future is more serene.
I’ve learnt to let go.
There will be time when people or things seem to conspire to make me angry. I will not let these things get to me anymore. I will learn to find solutions to problems. I will do all I can to remain calm and happy.
There’s alot of happiness in my National Service days. My life in the MOE was full of anger and frustration. I tried to find light in the darkness from back then, and I can only see one. You are that light. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Yes…its true that there’s too much hate and anger in blogs. I shall try to be the light in all the darkness…just like you.
