You know how everyone tells you to 'look on the bright side' every time something shitty happens to you? Yeh, it gets annoying because you think there is no such thing, but over time I realise that there is.
About one and a half months ago, my good friend from my Comiss class said to me: "You'll have everything when you have nothing." Thinking back, it made a lot of sense.
You see, the darkness is where there are the most possibilities. Turn off your bedroom lights, keep it quiet for a while, and in no time your imagination starts getting wild. You think of ghosts. You think of serial killers. Stuff like that, lurking in the darkness.
Likewise, when you are stripped of everything, that's when you will gain the most. You have the highest possibility of flying when you are at the bottom of your life. Anything can happen now that you are nothing. Simpler put, it's a rebirth.
If I hadn't been kicked out by my parents last two years, I wouldn't have discovered the amazing thing about MRT lines and roads, and expressways.
If I hadn't been dumped last two months, I wouldn't have returned to my parents, and I wouldn't have tried to socialise in these Whatsapp groups.
The next time I fall again, I shouldn't be so bummed out about it. I should take it as a chance to try new things. Being away from my parents opened my eyes to the roads of Singapore. Being away from boyfriends gave me freedom to meet all kinds of amazing new people.
Being in a shitty life is what brought me to see the beauty of being me.
Being in the darkness is what showed me the bright lights.
