I am guilty of sometimes forgetting to reply but when I finally saw this "OTHER" mailbox in facebook, I was sooo surprised to see a lot of messages there (all of them not in my FB network) that I have not read, most of them over a year ago and one of them made my day:

| It has been almost a year!!! |
Oh my goodness! (And I remembered that outfit that I copied from Anne Hathaway and the moment I saw it at the movie house, I told myself, I'm going to wear that shit tomorrow. And I did, without the hat lang.)
I remember this one trainee that I had back in 2006. She is the most quiet one in the class and I saw that she also had the most potential. When I was screening her calls, you will not be able to tell how nervous she was on the other line because her voice sounded so authoritative and confident.
I was a little bit heart broken that after passing the training with flying colors, she decided to resign and decided that the BPO is not for her. She gave me a hand written card, with a thank you note that I still kept to this day, even if I already moved out from the city.
We lost in touch after that. I was twenty three, life in my twenties happened and now seven years later, I hear from her.
Hearing from her is nostalgic...for a lot of reasons, mostly personal. Sometimes, nice people from your past pops up and remind you of who and how you have been back then.
I was doing a lot of day dreaming/reminiscing/reflection about how youth is wasted on the young (teens and twenties) then things like this remind me that although I managed to graduate from my twenties alive and with no permanent "damage", somewhere along the way, I am reminded that I did good somehow.
Now they say thirties are the best years. I wonder if anyone could share to me if that is true, because I really need the wisdom (even from a stranger), because apparently I have been on auto-pilot, trying to figure out life for a while now.
