Running thoughtsi like running at night... because of the cool breeze, the quiet surrounding, the darkness and the music. It gives me the personal time and space i need, and i always end up reflecting and reminiscing the past.
sometimes i would look back at what happened at work for the day and asked myself if i did well, if i did right, if things could be better, if i should do something about some things.
sometimes i would think back about how i met my hubby 8 years ago, about the many times when fate played us out, about how he was always somewhere near me like my guardian angel, about how he hugged me ecstatically when i finally said yes on both occasions, about how he continues to be the sweet loving thoughtful guy that always puts me before him and how content and happy i am right now.
sometimes i would think about the many good friends i used to have but eventually lost touch with because i am simply not good at maintaining the friendships. i blame it on my inability to maintain a conversation. i blame it on my shyness. i blame it on my passivity. I blame it on my fear of attending gatherings or to ask friends out because i am afraid of getting into the awkward silence.
i thought about these friends today. i thought about the good times we had, i thought about the hurt we had caused each other. i wondered how they are doing now, and i wondered how things would change if i take the step out to say "hi, i still think of you sometimes. i hope u r doing well, i hope we can put the bad things behind us, and i hope we are still friends."
it will take me a lot of courage to be able to take this step. And even if i mustered the courage to take this first step, will i have the courage to face the response? Can I handle rejection? Can I take the truth?
it is definitely so much easier to just keep it as a thought.
