Day 28 - Someone That Changed Your Life

That person will probably be shocked to find out, but I might as well say it as there's only good things that can be said here. That person is Amy Tan, not the famous local author, but one of my best friends. If it was not because of her, I'd probably be a lot more messed up than I am, and probably more narrow-minded as well.

As I probably wrote time and time again, it as some late night chatting over then internet that got us closer than we previously were in school. At that point of time, she also opened my eyes and mind up to Psychology and it's many aspects.

If not for her going through shit in her life and getting through it before I did, then I probably wouldn't have had the support I needed to get through the crap I was going through just after finishing my diploma. Due to her prior experience, she was able to show me that what I was going through was actually rather normal in a slightly abnormal way. Through chatting with her, I realised that typing out my problems, be it to her or into a blog post, helped me get rid of my frustrations.

Another thing I'm grateful for is the fact that she asked to pursue the Psychology diploma. Even if it felt as though it was rather useless in the end, it did make me realise that I might just have another career path, or just gave me another interest to look into. Heh....

THANKS!
