This is one of the few instances where I actually feel inspired to write. The test that I'm taking in an hour's time is kinda goner so I'm not gonna bother cramming for it. I don't even know where to begin..
Anyway. I just came back from dinner and turned on my macbook. Looked out of my window for the upteenth time today and something caught my eye. Something that has been there all the while I've been staying in Sheares but I never took notice of it. Always thought that I got bored of the view outside my window. But a closer look today proved otherwise.
There stood a tall pine tree, among the common raintrees. Its colour blended in perfectly with the rest of the trees, was planted in the backyard of one of the private properties (next to Crystal Tabernacle Church). But it stood out, shooting beyond the heights of all the other trees.
Somehow, I can relate to that tree.
I try so hard to blend in to the crowd, not to stick out like a sore thumb. But there will always be differences that I cannot hide. Sometimes I feel that I just don't belong. Sometimes inferior because I'm the only one like that. But I thank God even for those differences, because that's what makes me special, what makes me unique. It'd be weird and boring if everyone were a raintree and there were no pine trees around aye?
Spicing up our lives (:
