if I were five years younger, I would prioritise work over relationships. But since I don’t care about climbing the corporate ladder, it’s connections I value more! Work will never be finished haha
Here’s what I wrote
After a ferocious battle between my heart and my mind, the former won. If I were to forfeit this chance, who knows if the next opportunity would fall into my lap unannounced like a surprise gift again? So, I made the effort to go back just to…
have a meal with my former charges. Some of them were more talkative than before, filling me in on random stuff that had happened in their lives. Others quietly ate their nasi padang with fried chicken cutlet. Regardless of lively chatter or companionable silence, it felt as if I had never left them. That something as mundane as a meal at the canteen could evoke such sentimental vibes simply because I was no longer intimately connected with their lives was the emotional boost I needed myself. It’s good to be back, I muttered under my breath.
