what if

This afternoon while having lunch with classmates, I was suddenly struck by the frivolity of decisions and how they have come to affect us in proportions of unbelievable magnitude. Important decisions during the watershed periods of our lives have come a long way in influencing who our friends are, what we are, and more importantly, who we are. They have, in a way, defined us to be who we are today.

What if I had worked harder in RI instead of spending so much time on games, on graphic-designing and other time-consuming activities? I would have been in a different OG, made different friends and perhaps chosen to join some other CCA other than Council. haha alright that is kinda unimaginable. Life without Council is... >< It will be like eating chicken rice without the chicken.

Hmmm. It seems like our lives are made up of an infinite series of chain reactions, where one action or decision triggers off another, and so on and so forth. If this relationship can be illustrated, we would see a web whereby the intersections of the web constitute the decisions we make at every crossroads of our life.

And now, it seems like we have all entered another major junction - the junction towards A levels. How we spend our time pursuing our academic goals, and how we spend our time finding the perfect work-life balance for ourselves will have a strong resonance in the future tenor of our lives.

In fact, more major, more impactful than the A-levels might be the choice of our universities and our allocations (for guys) in NS.

Sigh, in a year's time, we would be so caught up in the flux of changes that my greatest fear is that friendships once unmovable may start gravitating away towards the new. After all, there are no constants in life, we have been taught. The only constant is change.

The closer it is to your heart,
the greater the pain when it finally drifts apart.
