Today comprised six hours of non-stop MM. Somehow I didn’t dread this as much as I thought I would but I guess seeing the agency’s active efforts in pushing for media coverage coming to fruition is more than enough to justify the tediousness of clipping and summarising news. (Also because last week our client praised our work HAHA I am such a loser.)
I also ran a few errands in the afternoon where I met the sweetest taxi driver who insisted on driving me to my exact location even though it was inconvenient for him. All right I am doing a bad job at explaining this because that is what taxi drivers are paid to do – drive you to your destination – but it was his sincere tone of voice and him being worried that I would get lost (do I really give off this vibe) that made my afternoon 🙂
Then I also met this elderly lady at a taxi stand where she requested for me to support her as she walked down the steps to a taxi that was waiting for her. Just before I closed her door, she said “God bless” and while I am not the most religious person around (I do read the bible and occasionally pray but… story for another day), I replied with a “God bless you too” before closing the door.
It is when people say and do the smallest things like these that make me question if I truly deserve all that I have. Admittedly, I have been struggling with some thoughts for a while now but today’s events have reminded me to be less self-centred and instead to see beyond myself. While I think I have grown in some areas, there are several other aspects of myself that seem to have – for lack of a better word – retracted. I have yet to figure out what all of these mean in the grander scheme of things but suffice to say, I am still a work-in-progress, as is everybody else.
Tl;dr: I am grateful for all that happened today. To borrow GE2015’s buzzword, I am quite humbled 🙂
