Ah.

First of all, congratulations for ORDing. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to celebrate the occasion with you. NS was long and stressful, and I am glad that you are finally free of its bonds.

And so a chapter of your life closes, and you bring along with you memories and experiences; things that will allow you to make better decisions in the future.

We are all growing amidst a world in flux. I'm happy to say that you really have taken in our good advice this time and started to take a step back to view what life means to you.

Everybody has to go through that journey, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Finding the first step is something many of us fail to do, and even then, the road is long and the path bumpy.

But that is why we don't trudge through the trail alone - that is why we have friends and family.

Learn to use us and rely on us, and at the same time, catch us when we fall so that we might do the same to you.

Remember, life is short and we don't often get second chances. There is no right or wrong choice, only making good ones by utilising all the information we have at that time.

So seize the opportunity and not let it pass you by.

I'll see you when I get back.

P.S. No. No weed. Weed bad.
