It's amazing how you can think you know exactly what a person is like, can interact with them on a regular basis for years on end, only for one single event to cascade into the beautiful realisation that there's so much more to them than you originally thought.
Maybe sometimes it's just because you aren't ready for it. Maybe some things are meant to be hidden until their due time. Still, I've known Wen for something like three and a half years, or at least known of her existence, but the past month has made me realise that I really didn't know her very well at all. And there's times where I regret not noticing or realising or doing something sooner, at least just talking to her. But she's right when she says that I wasn't ready for all this before. Certainly before this year, at the very least.
She's absolutely amazing. I honestly don't know why me, of all people. But I'm very glad, and very thankful, and extremely happy that it is actually me. I'm constantly fascinated by what she does and her interests and her life. And at the same time, I'm learning things about myself that I never even knew before.
One month tomorrow. I guess it's still early days yet but...I'm really happy with how my life is right now.
Even if I haven't finished all my assessments yet.
Even if I didn't make it in to the ADF.
Actually, not getting in to the ADF means I'll be taking an Honours year next year in Politics. I'm actually pretty excited at the thought of writing 15,000-18,000 words on a topic of my choice. Still need to find a Politics staff member willing to supervise me and I need to flesh out my thesis topic with them.
PAX Australia date for next year has been announced. Keen to attend.
I am blessed with the very best of friends.
I play way too much Dota 2 for my own good.
I don't see my Melbourne Uni friends as often as I should.
Exams are coming, and that means I need to start thinking of songs to parody.
Who even reads this thing any more?
