"Children, who will inherit the world. Children to whom, throughout history, stories have been told, chiefly but not always at bedtime, in order to quell restless thoughts; whose need of stories is matched only by the need of adults have of children to tell stories to, of receptacles for their stock of fairy-tales, of listening ears on which to unload those most unbelievable yet haunting of fairy-tales, their own lives; children--they are going to separate you and me."

I don't know if dogs lose their barking voices completely and start sounding like frogs, get runny noses or develop aches in their tummies from coughing too much haha. But I am as sick as a doggg. Which thankfully got me two days off from work and also managed to get me off some collective sale agreement thing that I was supposed to go to on Saturday haha. Internships are tiring, no kidding, that's why I'm still slacking through my Saw's Essay of Doom which I'm supposed to hand in on Monday. Hope he won't grill me with hard contract law questions, or else I'm seriously gonna be a disappointment to ytm haha!
But thank God for little mercies! I ran into Wendy on my way to school for a BSM meeting and she treated me to Starbucks haha and nothing's changed, we're still trying to make plans for the next time we meet and we still miss who we were a long time ago. But I guess the important thing is knowing when it's time to move on. To put your hand on your heart and say, be still, we're still waiting upon God to bring us to where He wants us to be. I guess to have learnt and walked through that lesson already doesn't make it any easier to watch someone going through that same process.
