a breath of fresh air

talking to someone outside your circle of friends is indeed amazing.
sometimes, that is (not all the time. depending on who you're talking to really)

the thing with hanging out with the same group of friends is,
eventually, you guys are so used to each other, and you know almost everything about each other, you ran out of topics to talk about.
interesting topics, i mean.
on top of that, since we always hang out together,
we tend to act, behave and think alike.
don't get me wrong,
i love my friends and wouldn't trade them for the world,
but sometimes,
having the same conversation,
doing the same activities,
posing for pictures the same way,
going to the same place over and over again can get pretty tedious.

you know what makes life more exciting?
well, it's the same old cliche:
trying something different,
challenges blablabla

but i guess it's true.
yesterday, i went to work at another branch of my after school care company in wadestown (i work in newlands).
since there's only 3 kids left, i get to talk with the other guy who work there.
we talk about work mostly and his ideas and visions simply just blew me away.
he's so passionate and and enthusiastic about his job that i feel embarrassed of my own attitude towards my job.
and his view on life is amazingly positive.
i won't go into details of our conversation,
but
talking to other people certainly allows you to explore different point of view.
fresh perspectives.
new ideas.
widen your horizon.
exciting.
spiced up ur life al lil bit.
that sorta thing.
suddenly you realized that there's a whole new world.
and you kinda appreciate your differences as well.
but most importantly, it gets you to THINK.
which i seem to have neglected recently.
poor brain of mine :(

and yeah, well you don't just agree with everyone.
sometimes, you end up meeting a person who has very different views.
that will lead to a debate (again, it depends on the person and topic).
a healthy one that is.
which is better coz then you started to think and justify your beliefs or things that you seem to take for granted.

the point is,
meeting someone else every once in a while is refreshing.
but having someone that you love and comfortable with by your side all the time is priceless :)


p/s: new people= interesting=exciting= might also be a formula for an affair.
well that's one of the excuse from people who has a mistress or something like that.
i'm just saying ;P
