Past & Present

I used to confident, a perfectionist, protected myself very well. Well, if you ever thought you were from a elite school, probably, you might have the same mentality. You've got a "branded" school, and all the stereotypes of it- you should have it in your blood. Well, yes I'm a Christian, I speak English, we can't sit properly, etc.
I, overly guarded myself.

Why the change then?
If I may seem "auntie" or whatsoever, i think of it more like- being relatable. Not everyone comes from such a fortunate background, some families need financial aid, some don't. You can't hide when you make new friends and most speak mandarin. Then, you're only at the losing end where you've put yourself in a position that you- can only live with the same clique.

Life isn't going to be that easy. You've got to be versatile, adaptable and vulnerable.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. - Philippians 4:12-13 - NIV
