Moving Out
It is devastating to see those who have lived around you for three months move out for summer. Boxes stacked, luggage packed and furniture stored, people are walking out of the dorm every minute of the hour. Hugs of goodbye, handshakes, last minute dinners and farewell drinks were the last few things we shared in common before the semester ended and a new fresh school year to start next fall. Things happened so fast and I've just started to know some people and really appreciate their presence around me (although you may think they're really peculiar and annoying during normal school days). It's difficult for people to show you their true nature and the last thing we want is to be perceived as being weak and overly emotional. This last few days have taught me more about the true lives of people and how hard they work until spring ends. After a few handshakes, a few goodbyes, tears shed, everyone is on their way back home for the holidays - some halfway around the globe as far as Singapore, some China, Hong Kong, Shanghai and locally within the states. It is always best to know that we have given our best to those around us because our time around them is temporary. We do eventually part and their lives are of no concern with ours but we have made their life more meaningful by just being there temporarily. Even if it is just a little help moving out or a smile everyday at the hallway, we can light up the lives of people and bring ease to their hearts. Little things can count towards touching people's life and making their lives more meaningful for them. We are eventually individuals but we can always make another person happy if we have the time. Love is never limited. It's not so much about receiving back the affection, but it's rather the satisfaction that you have lived your life well and you will not regret your purpose in this world.
p/s: Only help those who are deserving and who have the capacity to receive. There are some people who do not appreciate help sometimes.
