Okay, I admit that l8ly all i've said is bad things about my attention-whoring-asspergers-syndromic seniors, but they are (here i go again), so this time I'm going along with nice and thoughtful.
I've been thinking lately that unless you believe in reeincarnation, we all only got one chance to be somebody. Either be a specific somebody or be a hybrid. Like, I mean, say, for students, especially in universities, we study to be something: we take medicine to be a doctor/pharmacist/surgeon, we take engineering to be, well, engineers, etc. etc.
Have it ever occured to you what would happen if you didn't take that course? What if you took something else? Would you be who you are now? Know your friends now? Have your present skills/experiences? Have present memories of life? So much possibilty come from that one moment when you choose to follow a certain course.
As for me, I took a degree in Forestry, and if I hadn't I'd probably never stick my feet into forests or meet my best friends, Tasha, Cik Pah, Shazril, Wan, Fauzi and everybody else. On the contrary, I might also never meet my asspie seniors (whoops, pardona mei) and the equally problematic Darwis... Sometimes I feel sorry for him lol
Then again, I'd probably have another set of good friends and assholes if I had followed another course. Or maybe more of one kind. But the thing here is, the slightest change can determine your life now.
What if you had set out earlier this morning? You might have met a potential friend, or maybe you could have missed what your roommate have to say to you last night vefore falling to sleep. Or maybe if you have registered at your college 15 minutes earlier, you could have someone else as a roommate, and maybe a whole new set of people altogether. Imagine not knowing the people you know now, and them being strangers who could've been your friends.
Or maybe if you had walked into a different place, you might have been someone else today, better or worse. It takes but a bit of change, a multitude of possibilities, an impossible set of values with unpredictable outcomes... So appreciate what you have today, and know that if you can actually turn back time you might have been someone else together... Friends don't come that easily :D
