musings on the way home

it's been a long journey but i have finally reached the end.

it's amazing how what other people say can influence the way you think and how you perceive things. you sometimes end up creating an image in your head that's opposite from what's true and so detached from reality. but since it's fed into your system constantly, this illusion starts to become your reality. it is a hard battle to fight against it, especially if you'd rather stay in your own made-up world, where everything goes your way. but life has an interesting sense of humor. in an instant, your dream bubble bursts and you're thrown back to the reality the rest of the world knows. you sigh with disappointment but then it's also a relief when you realize soon afterwards that although you've been bruised, you escape in one piece. and then you know that reality is not so bad after all.

oh, and by the way, i am celebrating my fourth year in my current company. wooohooo!!! :) it's the longest i've ever stayed in a company and i am glad that it's with this one. what's more amazing is that i am actually looking forward to getting my "loyalty award" next year, very much the opposite of what we felt towards our previous company. happy 4th year anniversary to me! :)
