Of knights and damsels in distress.

That's never been how we played our roles. 

Yet it's sometimes hard to let go, to forget about those preconceived notions that we once held. It's scary to think that despite how comfortable we've gotten with each other and how deep we've delved into, we're still, not quite there yet. And I'm not even sure if we're ever going to, someday.

Veering off slightly, I've also come to realise how crucial it is for me to learn how to separate myself from these weird twinges that I feel for people, regardless of who they may be. In the 5 weeks that I've been at LAB, I've come across heaps of applicants with the saddest situation that requires our help. Sometimes we can, other times, it's beyond our means. Whatever the case may be, I was told that it's important to draw the line between work and my personal life. ''Don't bring the applicants back with you,'' he said. I've come to see the truth in that. 

Disassociation is so vital here and lucky me, that's not something that I have learned to do yet. 

Starting to slowly get more files and more responsibilities. The stress level is increasing with each day, but I like it (: Facing challenges, learning to suss out the truth, learning to read between the lines, training myself to be a lot more conscientious and a lot more careful with my words are skills that I am picking up bit by bit (:

For the first time, I feel it getting closer, with every step that I take (:
