The City That Never Sleeps

Today has given me experiences to make me feel sad seeing the community I live in which has no empathy. It was just a few instances that has made me think about humanity. Sometimes we go on saying its only present in Singapore coz that’s the attitude of typical Singaporeans. Selfish, self-centered, egoistic, uncompassionate. But for the group who behaves such there is another that does actually care. Does really want to make a difference to the community they live in. There is hardly anybody these days to offer you a seat in a crowded public transport or to offer help when they see you struggling with baggage. And over the past week I’ve realized that I’ve grown to be a more emotionally attached person. Emotionally attached to the people I am with of course. Tend to feel a lot emotionally. Sometimes, the strong upfront may just be my disguise from a weak inside. A very fragile person inside too scared to bear her emotions out. To wish at the same time I were made stronger enough, so that I can bottle up all my emotions well and not expose any. To not be able to allow others to read me just through my eyes. The windowless eyes I have as said by many. Over the conversations we had, you again reminded me of the old person I was who was so full of love once. The person who used to tear seeing a close one tear. The person who would sacrifice her happiness for others. The person who expressed every emotion through words. I seemed to have morphed to something else over the past 5 or 6 months. I don’t think I have changed. I probably have just grown, like how you and I did after stepping into the shoes of an undergraduate. |
