A web connection
It's Saturday. This means that another day had passed. And a new day had begun. But the truth is, nothing much has changed since the day I started living in Singapore. I still eat, sleep, study and dawdle every single day which has been my lifestyle since young. The only thing that change is the environment. The workload, stress, people, education style and also, the food, all differs from what I had back home. From the outlook of me, I looked like an adaptable person, assimilating to the lifestyle without fail no matter where I go, just like the time I spend in NS for 2 months. In fact, it contradicts to how I actually feel. Deep in my heart, I cannot run away from the web, which connects myself to my family and friends to the very core . The web, build up from the hardwork and sweat by the spider, where it is coded by the intensity of memories leads to a strong and resistant network, tying us together. There are times it is shaken by rough winds and thunderstorms but it will not break, forcing me to face-to-face with the adversities which crossed my paths, not allowing me to break free and runaway. It was painful, trying to break free was impossible as the web tightens and and entangle around me, making me breathless and suffocated. This is then I realized, this weight of feelings, is the driving force for me to live all the time. Without such pain, I would not have realized how important are my family and friends to me. The web is like a protection, preventing me from straying away from who I really am and as a reminder that it is alright to be myself. As I learn the importance of the connectivity, I struggle less within the web and allow the spider to continue its webbing process regardless how strong or tremendous force which comes upon my path. Because, now I know as time goes by, the web will grow stronger and thicker, eventually covering me like a shell, not allowing me to get hurt by the storms anymore. And it is this moment, that I know I will transform into a person who will stand strong and stick to my virtues no matter what happens in the future.
