Deep thoughts yo

Being in nostalgic mood sucks because thinking about how fast time flies makes me delve deep into stashes and stashes of memories; and that requires a lot of brain (and emotional) power to do.

When the clock struck at 12 MN earlier, the new set of officers in our org officially took on their respective positions and responsibilities; three of them are from my batch - people I was with during the grueling application process we all hurdled last semester. It felt like yesterday; yet, at the end of this semester, me, along with some of my batchmates, will take on responsibilities for the organization that leaders before us held.

And then there's the graduating batch, some of which were the officers that I looked up to during the application process. I'll definitely, definitely miss them. I find a year way too short for me to get to know them better. However, as much I would like to cling on to their guidance and leadership, people need to move on and people must learn to learn by themselves.

Thinking about these stuff made me realize that I've actually attached myself to this org more than I thought of or expected to. Probably because the experiences the org provided me with was almost what this school year was all about. I've gained a lot, yet I've lost, and still losing a lot (mostly exam points). I've sacrificed so much time, and with that I've missed so much - birthdays, sleep, moments that I could've spent with my other friends. But life wouldn't progress without making any choices and sacrifices - yes, some of which we would regret later on but that's how we learn.

This has been said a million times before, but people really do come and go quickly. Whether we like it or not, it's inevitable, seeing that the world offers such a huge wealth of opportunities and experiences that confining yourself into one cramped space would be highly unreasonable and impractical. But the fact that you've met these people, among the other billions of humans in this world, and they were able to carve a special place in your heart is definitely something extraordinary.
