People find (and I do too sometimes) it funny when it becomes apparent that I have come full circle: Back to law in Singapore after having given up an opportunity to do law at NUS 7 years ago. It wasn't a circle, I don't think. More of a spiral upward and I'm sitting a higher than where I'd have been if I had stayed, because this isn't just something that I followed, it's something I choose, and that makes it all the more meaningful.

I remember telling you my circle-spiral analogy back in 1st year in your dorm room!
Sometimes I feel as though I hit the same points, go through the same thing, but it helps to look at it as vertical points or phases on a spiral (as opposed to a circle) in that we're differently situated, upward.
I think we have to think progressively in order to, well, progress.
I love your optimism. :) It's beautiful and it's true!!
