Dear Shafiee,

Today marks your last day of finishing your degree. You need to be on your own now, no friends to rely on, no skipping more classes, no more drama. Its just you alone, facing the world. I have a feeling that you're gonna do just fine. You might have $7 now but hang in there. You'll get to where you wanna be: happy. Its not that I'm not happy now but just know that you will be more happier soon. Life is gonna suck after graduation but it gets better after, just allow yourself to fail once in a while because a smooth sail wont make a better sailor. Here's a little something to remember by (as if I'm that wise enough lol). Remember to be yourself, always be there for the families, always smile and never lose hope to what you dream of. People may have doubt about you but don't worry honey, fuck them. Do you. Be. You.
Yours truly,
You.

Today, I had a thought in mind, when i took my course in Uni (which was Geography and Development), i instantly knew that i am gonna love it, though the class can be a little bit draggy sometimes. But, im sure that i want to make a lot of differences in life, not just for me but for the society as well. As i watched this video of Beyonce on YouTube where she performed "I was here" for the UN convention, i said to myself (with teary eyes), im gonna do that. Not sing but lend a hand. Make a difference. I took some inspiration from FunforLouis as well, who had joined a couple of volunteering jobs that i like to believe it is. He roamed around the world, doing the things he love, documenting each day with a positive attitude and facing obstacles with a bright smile. He's my inspiration, and made me think or imagine what id be doing.

I imagine myself to roam around the world, setting my feet in dirty mud, sweating, making people, children to be specific, smile.

I imagine myself having to volunteer teaching English, basic ones, to those in need.

I imagine myself doing a very hands-on work and definitely not the paperwork kind (insert "haha" from my student council friends)

I imagine a lot of things, things i wish i could do on the spot if money was not an object. I want to pursue my dreams to be as humanitarian as possible.

I imagine going through obstacles with a smiley face, just like Louis did.

But.....for now, the question still remains, what am i going to do about it? Well, i dont know but i will find out soon. Though i have not done anything yet, i always have a passion to do so. Its just that i dont know when to do it. As i sat here, wondering about my future and reminiscing my past, i couldnt help but question myself, what have i done lately? I mean come on..i have been skipping class, sleeping day and night, eating my ass off...what the hell am i doing with my life? Wheres my jenesequa? My bammm moment? I know i always say im gonna do something awesome soon but when?

I know my friends gonna be like 'tell me something i dont know!' ....... Or perhaps, 'right, you are gonna make a difference (sarcastic tone)" or maybe even " ahaaa...you...a humatarinian? What a load of bulllxxxx!' Just so you know, i am an open book, so people who are really close to me know how i am like. My good intentions can overshadow by my disgusting lazy traits, sometimes. Haha.

When you look at my friends or the people who ive had aqquaintance with, youd probably think, 'why the hell are they ugly?' i kid. I kid. You can say that they are successful enough and way more up than where i am right now. I am not afraid to say that some of my bestfriends (or friends, if you will) are one of my biggest inspiration. They made it happen. They become what they wanna do.

Dont get me wrong, im not whining here.

And i have my families on the side lines cheering for me to be the best i could, its just that sometimes you'd get so frustrated with yourself that your plan doesn't go as you thought it would be. I know that these people are giving me 100% - their endless support.

I know i AM going to be that guy that people will be proud of; saying "wow..." to or maybe "girrrlll, im proud of ya!". It'll probably that a few falls and a little pit stops along the way.

With this quote in mind, 'slowly but surely'.

Thoughout the years, i've been captivated by some toxic people and some left instantly while some stick like a moth to a flame. I know that some wants to put me down but dont you worry honey, im a capricorn. You know what they say about capricorns, dont you? They hold grudges forever lol and that quote from Beyonce's Formation "always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper" is going to be my anthem. You'll see me roar.

(damn, why a i referencing a lot of Beyonce in this post? #gothotsauce)

Life has taught me a lot of things; my parents divorce, the endless betrayal, the near death experiences (well, thats too exaggerating), the slip outs, the mishaps and definitely, the drama i get for being nice. Dont get me wrong, I still wanna be nice, but maybe i could still be nice to those whos worth my "niceness". Is that even a word? I have gone through a lot and thats just a quarter of my life.

Sayonara, for now..
