Perhaps it's just a "Ngoc" a thing, but the reality is, all it takes is one small, wonderful thing to make my day. Heck. Yes.
Yesterday was an awful day. One word describes yesterday best: CHAOTIC. It was even... PAINFUL,
I was running around school during lunch and homeroom and even between transition periods, trying to communicate to various situations coming at me. Mostly family related....I felt as if I was going to collapse at any moment. Physically, I was sick. Mentally, I was anywhere but school. I just wanted everything to just... stop. Pause a second and catch my breath. Listen to silence and soak in it for as long as I needed.
But alas, yesterday proved to me again how resilient I have to be to overcome tough situations that life hands me.
But you know what? All it took were some of my friends, who noticed that I hadn't had lunch :(, to remind me, "Hey. Ngoc. This is going to pass. I believe in you. And if you ever need anything, you know where to find me."
(Hey. You know who you are. The three of you. Thank you so much. <3)
I would not have been able to pull through the rest of the day without those words. It was as if time slowed down in that wonderful moment. For the rest of the day, if I felt as if I was truly going to collapse, my mind would replay that short but beautiful moment over again and again. Maybe the actual encouragement itself, the words, have grown hazy. But that warm, happy feeling that someone out there (and in this unique situation, someone(s)) believed in me won't ever go away. If I would only give myself two seconds to appreciate the seemingly little things that people who cared for me have done, then I would have enough to carry me through for hours, days, weeks, and even years to come.
I hope you can find that too, whoever you are. I hope you can find the little things in life that truly do make your day. Let yourself remember. Let yourself soak in that warmth. I know you'll make it.
Your good vibes girl,
Ngoc
P.s. Shout-out to you.. I hope you know who you are. If you don't, I'm going to be sad. :( :P
Thank you for hugging me buddy. Even if you've reminded me countless times that you're NOT a hugger. <3 It meant so so much. ^_^
