Was at the class bench after school with Hanjie, somehow Gaston and I just started talking. Strangely I actually found myself telling him I write poetry -- it isn't something I ordinarily like to reveal, but he was just so easy to talk to. (Wouldn't let him read any of it though.) John has the same effect on me -- surprisingly, I like to talk to guys. I don't quite have to put a guard up against them, which sometimes I do, with girls.

Spoke to Wanyu after that, when she'd got off from class. Won't say much about it but I think talking is therapuetic. I didn't get very in-depth; however when you find you've talked things over to someone other than yourself it becomes much easier to let go. Shujun saw me crying and sms-ed me after that, even though I hardly know her. It reminds me of what Aziz said in A Passage To India, about what makes the world a better place (or something to that effect. I might have misquoted it, it's off the back of my head).

"Kindness, kindness, and more kindness. I assure you it is the only hope."

There's going to be a Full Moon tonight. Make a wish, everyone.
