I’m a big girl now…

From the response I got to my last post, I realised that I bummed you guys out with talk of my dead dad, and then the breakup.

First of all, regarding the breakup, TRUST ME, I’m fine. I learnt a few lessons; the most important one being that I should never EVER compromise, no matter how connected the beard is. Normally, I have three major things I look out for in a guy and I guess I asked for trouble when I compromised on one of them.

One of my least favourite people in the world are those ones who have a low level of self awareness. I cannot stand them. That’s why I do a lot of self reflection to try and “check” myself. I always want to be sure that I’m the person I think I am, or tell people I am. Does that make sense? Anyway, that’s what all those quizzes were for. Bottom line, I’m doing fine.

In other news, IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! I dressed up extra special to the lab and got a lot of compliments. The work I’m doing today has many steps and some of those steps have long waiting periods. So I’ve been using that time to wander about aimlessly (from lab, to the office, to the toilet, to the tea room) so that people will see my outfit very well. I refuse to be hidden under this giant lab coat. The good thing is, if you hold a notebook and pen, no one will guess you are a birthday wanderer.

I only had 30 minutes to do this post so I have to go, which is fine because I don’t really have any motivational birthday thing to share. I just didn’t want it to be like I threw pictures at you.

Please say a prayer for me today. For the first time in a looooong time, I am ok with where I am. I have finally accepted that I can’t change the past. There’s absolutely nothing I can do to “undo” most of the mistakes I’ve made. Once in a while, I might have a tinge of regret over what could have been, but I eventually get over it. So if you want to know what to tell God, just tell him that Ngo is incredibly grateful.

Happy birthday me!
