I love my friends :D I'm pretty sure I've written a post that goes something like this too, but.. after recent events, I feel all grateful to have friends like the ones I do again.

They have greatly assisted in helping me make a decision in something that plays a pretty big role in my life. It's not anything WAY major, but for the time being, it is kinda important. After all, people do say 'No time like the present', right?

You guys... who know about my secret mission (xD), have to keep supporting me, yeah? Or else I might chicken out. I really do want to go through with this though.

I have sorta been on Cloud Nine since telling my friends about what's been weighing down my thoughts and carefree attitude. Until I actually... do what I decided to, I will probably stay up there with my head in the clouds. Even though exams are still on-going throughout this week. It's not like I care much about the papers anyway.

So... I have decided to execute my plans during the holidays. I will so need backup. I'm starting to feel nervous just thinking about it. Seriously.

Actually, one of the main things I want this post to be about is a sort of revelation I've come across while I was taking a shower. (LOL.)

Since I was young, I've always told myself it was okay, and probably even way better to be the odd one out. Unique, odd, weird, whatever floats your boat. Haha yeah. That was probably why I waved to my seniors whom I didn't know when I was a junior. As I walked by their classes on my away to my own, I'd wave and say hi with a huge grin. If they didn't wave or smile back to me, I'd tell my friend who was walking next to me how rude people are nowadays, loud enough for anyone close by to hear. My friends did tell it was scary to walk with me because I did that so often. The only thing I thought of was that it was tons of fun.

Other than that, I also waved at people when I'm in some mode of transport. I wave to people in cars and buses and ferries while I'm in/on another car, bus or ferry. C'mon, doesn't it sound way fun to you? Spread the joy, people! You don't lose anything when you randomly wave to random people. Besides the slightest bit of your dignity of course, but it's totally worth it.

So yeah. My philosophy went something along the lines of "You don't have to do what other people do. You'll more than likely lead a happier life doing what you think will make you happy compared to not doing something because others don't do it."

It's okay to be selfish sometimes. Sometimes, you just have to put your own happiness in front of others'. You're the one who's going to live your life, so you'd better make the right choices. No one's going to live your regrets for you. So don't ever regret not doing something, because you'll have that regret with you for the rest of your life.

I'm probably going on and on and you guys are probably tired of reading junk like that. It does mean a lot to me as an individual though. At this point, you're all probably wondering: What on earth does this have to do with her current situation? Well, I've always thought that it was only proper for a guy to ask a girl out on a date, or out anywhere. The idea of a girl asking was totally alien to me. Like "Hah, no way!". But since I've taken The Shower Of Philosophy Recall, I'm totally confident and sure that what I've decided on is the right way to go.

Folks, I'm about to take the road less traveled. I hope you'll be there to support me the whole way. Again, thanks, my friends. Love you all very much. ♥

Friends are like family you can pick.
