Simple Question. Long Time for an Answer

Ever got a simple question that you have no answer? Like, the name of that person you knew in high school. Or maybe a face of the person whom you used to talked back 10 years ago. I am sure each person has some of those questions around in there head. So simple, but simply unanswered.

I knew a Thai person back in high school that graduated couple years before me. We were not close, but she was one of the few Thai people I talked to in high school, which is something unique in itself. Along the way in the past 12 years, I had forgotten her name and it bothered me ever since.

However, over the pass weekend, I stumble on an old high school yearbook that finally answered my question. It seemed surreal, because it was the only yearbook from the 90s in the historical museum, which happened to be a year that included her and myself also.

I took pictures of her and some of my friends, and it reminded me about how long ago that was. Myself, I was impassive. Some of my friends, they look younger than high school kids. Then again, we were kids back then.

So, what is the point of this story? Be proactive, and the answer will be within reach. Even if it's 12 years later. I had been laying around playing games or doing the same things for most of my life, and the question remained unanswered for so long. It was not until I started to become more proactive in the last few years that I began to discover more answers to my questions, and my life. I observe, analyze, and question life until I was 25. At that point, when I found it meaningless to live, then I began to live a life.
