Yufen was talking about meeting her old sec 4 classmates. It took me about 5 seconds to realize that hey! those were my classmates too! After I leave school, I have an unsavoury habit of amputating my past, content to just let the sweet and bitter mess lie in a rotting heap.
I wanted to go somewhere else, somewhere where I may start afresh. I was a different person. A lot more vulnerable. A lot more.... common. And a lot more escapist. Misunderstood. Less antisocial. Resigned. But now that I've found the strength to accept all that, I don't have the urge to salvage anything. Let the dead rest in peace.

Sometimes I can be such a drama mama.... maybe a little more than sometimes...
hiya,
yes sometimes i cut off my past too. besides a few friends who i love and want to keep in touch with, the rest have effectively gone the way of Atlantis, as far as I'm concerned.
I think maybe I want to be elsewhere in the world, partly because I want to forget my past. Leave it all behind. Or maybe there's just nothing left for me.
