I… didn't even go to my own farewell party at my school, and the after-party at an acquaintance's hou. It was the last time that we would have met. Then, it was straight finals. (2014)

While, my peers were getting dolled up for an unforgettable (to them) evening, I was taking the practice test that my school had assigned for those who were below average and were likely to fail. I had befriended a particularly bad troublemaker, the year previous to that one (2013) and his effect had lingered for an year. I had suffered great, both, academically and emotionally. But, it wasn't anything I couldn't pull through. Under a great man's guidance, I had pulled myself through, and better than my peers, who used to say that I was a "no good loser",  "without a future",  "who will die without doing anything".

I… don't know why I wrote this. Perhaps, I wanted to share it. I don't know. But, Sensei, I've learned one thing for sure. "Life tests you, time to time. You'll weep, you'll curse everything and everyone, you'll ask yourself why it is you, you'll break. But, the key is to pick up the pieces and keep moving forward, with a smile."

Sorry, I was too intense. Screw that, I'm not sorry.
