I have long came to the conclusion that I'm not your typical thoughtful person. I'm not one of those sweet little darlings who bakes you cookies on festive seasons, wrote you a card to get well soon, and often drop you forget-me-not smses to your mobile line. Over the years, I have received x'mas, new year, birthday cards from friends that I haven't been keeping much contact with. And I never sent it back once. Yet, they continued to send me their well-wishes year after year.

I am grateful for friends like these and have been trying to be more thoughtful as I grow. But I must admit it does not come as a top of the mind to-do-list. It comes with lots effort for me when it seems those sweet little darlings just does it like one of her daily eating/shitting/sleeping routine. If it had not been a timely reminder sent from a dear friend 3years ago, I would not even be actively dating old friends for some catching up session. I am that unthoughtful.

I guess it is just part of my laziness package. Even if it had seemed effortless for those sweet little darlings, it must have, in truth, been a hell lot of work. I mean, the hassle of it all..preparing gifts etc.. and that is provided that you see a need for a gift in the first place. I am not talking about your run-of-the-mill occasions like birthdays where giving presents have become a tradition. Who would have thought of writing a congratulations card to your boyfriend's friend whom you've met a few times and who has just gotten a promotion? (excluding situations when you're a total bitch and is trying to hit on your bf's buddy).

I am pretty hopeful that everyone has known one of these sweet little darling in their life. It might be you, your bro's girlfriend, your cousin, your best friend, your girlfriend's sister...and if you have not met one of them yet, I'd say 'pity you!'
