……I opened my eyes and I saw the sun shining down on me. The misty light blinding my half awakened eyes. Everything around me seems so… quiet.So calm. I tried to look up on the bright blue sky and was moved by its serene beauty. And then it hit me.. Maybe its time to move on.. I can never finish my book without turning its pages.. New leaves will not sprout unless the old ones wither and detach themselves from the tree itself.

….I am a failure. I almost lost my job. I almost lost my friends. I even almost lost my will to live. The question is : WHY?

….Let me take you back from where it all began….

….Months ago, I was an upbeat, happy-go-lucky guy.  You would see me always happy. Always up for another challenge. I was always proactive enough to ensure that my job is always on the right track. My life, to put it bluntly, was absolutely fine.

….But then, a new girl entered our department. She was cute, but kinda weird. She was quiet and she seldom laughs. There was really nothing special about her but I just couldnt control myself when she’s around. During meetings, I chose not to speak so as not to appear dumb or boastful in front of her. I tried to win her trust by showing her my “soft side”. Luckily, we had our common avenue: rock music. With that, I tried to introduce her to the bands i like and she tried to do the same.  I usually stayed up late at night so I can download the songs she would like to hear. I managed to be one of her “first friends”.  I decided to spend less time wih the boys and more time with her. The moments i spent with her were the happiest moments of my life.

….One night, while I was “stoned” / “smashed” /”wasted”(haha), I learned from someone that she was actually got some feelings for me. Not love, but it is still an achievement.
