i love you.

i suppose the nostalgic thing to do at the end of 4 years is to take an assessment of the time gone by and perform little evaluations.

if anything, my time at ubc is defined by experience, by community and by individuals.

as i watched hannah stroke peipei's head and gently prop her up on her not-too-broad shoulders, i admired the girl's tender touch and the care that comes so easily to the girl. sometimes it causes her pain to love freely and care honestly, but most of the time i think she lights people up and makes a space for herself in people's lives.

i am impressed by the "justins" and "andres" in the world. because they are the ones who act without being asked, who assume responsibility when they see an avenue to be filled. heck, they are the far and few gentlemen of our times!

i appreciate glen, sarah and mel whose family life is so easy and comfortable. and i've come to think of them as family as well. they know my awkwardness and accept it. and i'm pretty darn at ease to be my awkward self in front of them.
in short, i think you get me.

i could ramble on and on about people here. but the point i want to make is that different people have moulded me in certain ways for the past 4 years. and while i have many imperfections and flaws to deal with, the 4 years have taught me about loving myself and the importance of learning to love someone else.
so, i have not necessarily found myself yet. but at least i'm comfortable with the me and you.
