dear friend; tough times don't last, but tough people do.

as promised, a second one for today.
though this is a little more personal and to a close friend.

even though i tend to think of quite a number of things at once, this friend of mine comes to mind rather often because i have to admit, i'm guilty of being rather reliant on this person. he's been a great help throughout this 1 &1/2 years and at times i feel like i really would be lost without help from this person. my 11s girls are always there for me as well, but some things only he can understand without me having to say anything.

hello himbo. i don't know if you'll get a chance to see this, considering the circumstances.
but what i want to say to you will never fit into a text so i really would like to talk to you properly if we get the chance. for now, this will have to do. i know things right now aren't going well for you and it's so frustrating when you can't really say what it is that's been bothering you to anyone else, but stay positive alright?

i once told you i'm not really in the position to help you with what you're going through but i do understand what you are feeling and i'm sure you know that as well. regardless of what it is that's happening around you, block out all that negativity and focus on what you have to do yeah?

sometimes i look at you and i see the me last year. all those thoughts and frustrations, they aren't wrong. and with the situations we face, it's kinda hard to not feel that way but i would like you to know that it will get better eventually. even if it seems like we're in the pursuit for something pointless and the struggle gets tougher everyday, never give up okay? remember what you told me about not giving up and hang in there.

there isn't much of a race left for you to run and having come this far, it would be a shame to let it all go to waste. i believe you'll be fine. even when you end up in a huge mess, you always have a way of making the situation seem less severe and i've always admired that lighthearted attitude about you. just like you always tell me: "this isn't everything, so don't stress yourself out so much." that being said, you shouldn't always slack so much ah. i agree though. i know that this is really very important, but it's not everything. so the dream you had better not happen.

as for what happens behind close doors, remember that chinese quote i mentioned? keep that in mind and always believe that it will eventually work its way out. afterall, we can't all be the same in life and sometimes it's about seeing the good amongst the troubled times. even if it gets really bad, hang in there, bear with it and do remember this:

(:

and if it's not, you know where to find me.
