Through trials and errors....

I was out with Joyce when I recalled about an article I read some time ago. We were talking about the latest updates in our lives when we touched on certain issues regarding the silly things we once did.

The article was long but I shall summarize the whole thing into a simplified question. It asked...

"If you had to choose, which do you prefer? Someone who is years older, who already has an established and successful career, lots of money and obviously has lots of experience in life in many different aspects OR someone who is around your age range, who is ever ready to grow and improve himself/herself together with you no matter what happens, the both of you go through trials and tribulations together..."

I told Joyce about this article and we just laughed. Thinking back, I guess both of us have sort of gone through a lot of shitty experiences to be where we are today. Many years ago, we both confidently declared that one should be realistic enough and the right answer should be the former. However, as we were enjoying our dinner, we were truly surprised that our answer to the question in the article has changed.

Wherever you are, whatever you do, shit happens! And through shitty, dirty and ugly experiences, we have grown to accept everything in the past. And we're glad that we managed to learn, to change, and to slowly pick up the small and tiny pieces of broken trusts and confidence. Previously, we did choose the former answer but now, we both prefer the latter answer. Maybe I should say, we have outgrown the so-called over-realistic mindset and we actually preferred some space for ourselves to breathe too? (Tip: You might understand this line if you had dated guys from that former category!) Haha...
