I grew up alone, never had good friends or even allowed to have one that I can always invite to spend time with. To keep myself happy and surrounded with friends, I was involved in may games in school. Well known for being a Netball player, a Field Hockey person and even a Volleyball enthusiast. Always competitive, just to feel good and get the silent affirmation that I am good enough for what I do. There was no one telling me I am good. Not even a teacher to appreciate my talent, my skill. So I never knew how good I really was because all the time, it was only me telling myself.
Involving in a job that stress so much in motivating others by appreciating their talent, their skill and also their presence, I see how important it is to give that to another individual. Whether it is someone you know very well or someone you encounter for a short period of time. Giving positive feedback goes a long way. Seeing their smile when you tell them they are doing okay, they are doing so well is priceless.
I believe, it is the same with giving your love and faithfulness to someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. When you take that vow, you see the sparkle and happiness in that person's eyes and they returned the same promise. And so....I wish upon my wishing star if I have one....that I am searching for the very same sparkle I once had and the happiness that I was promised. I have and still hold true to my vow....so he continue to have that sparkle and happiness. I hope he gives it back...because it was lost a long time ago.
