Both pictures were taken in Wuhan on separate occasions, separate days (or rather, nights). First on the coach towards our dorm and second on lantern festival where we had potluck in the common area and er, burnt lanterns/play with fire. Rediscovered them again while flipping through old pictures in my com.
One day while I was on the way to work, it struck me how much I've grown since... say, 2-3 years ago. If I'm not mistaken, 3 years ago, around this time, I hit rock bottom. I had a really rough time when I was 18. I made wrong decisions, gave my heart to the wrong person and ended up with baggages too heavy for me to handle. I didn't know how long I could dwell in my misery, though I know I would eventually snap out of it except I don't know when that would be. To be honest, I detest myself for being so weak and vulnerable at the time. My faith suffered and it never fully recovered until about a year ago. Thankfully, time past and you learn from past experiences. It wasn't pleasant but I wouldn't say it was a mistake because everything that happened played a part in shaping me today. I'm not looking back, I'm anticipating the future. I can safely say that I've never been in a better place than I am today.
