I wouldn't call myself a hard fellow. So, I love love.
The amazing thing is, even with that awareness, love still finds its way of reaching out to your innermost being.
Yesterday was my birthday and of course, I got lots of calls and messages and all. I wasn't in shortage of love prior to yesterday or better still I wasn't craving it. But somehow some of those messages still got me.
And I'm like, Love really does gets us all. Yeah, I know that could be a bad generalisation but how do you explain something you don't crave or want yet it got to you so much it made you feel.
Or perhaps I wanted it and I didn't know?
No, I don't think so. The message that really brought a tear from my eye was sent from a male junior friend, so really nothing to it.
But when he listed the times when I had been of huge influence in his life, it was like my 20s just flashed before me and the emotions swelled up.
I think that's just how we are wired really.

Moments like these... I think they're as powerful as
I don't have a word for these moments, but I know exactly them. I know them when it strikes me and likewise when something I do strikes in others.
They happen infrequently enough that I somehow always forget to optimize for them. In a day to day... when I'm not reflective enough I may think that such moments are stupid and nonsensical... way not worth their
but then one happens to you. and then you just know.
Ah if there could be one point to life universally. this is one point.
