1 year

1 year.
That's right.

1 year to make everything right.
1 year to remedy the wrongs,
1 year to learn from my mistakes,
1 year to improve myself,
1 year to cherish what I have.

That is the harsh truth.

I've spent the past 5 years in High school and JC thinking "there's more time left"
"there's more time left"
"There's more time left"
...
..

There's no more time left.
And that is the harsh truth.

Time has shot past like a searing arrow, it burns brightly and passes you quickly. You have no idea of what is happening before it is gone. JC life is (surprisingly) passing by too fast. Everything has happened in a blur and I have no idea what has been happening for the past year.

You have one more year to make amends, to the people that you have lost touch with due to misunderstandings. To the parents whose faith in you has wavered due to your constant lackadaisical mannerisms. To the teachers whose high expectations of me I have never met...

You have one year to learn from your past failures, to build upon your success. To turn from good to great. To translate that C to an A in the A levels. To attain PERFECTION in your academics. Something which you have never done before. Face it, you were never perfect.

Most importantly, you have one year to cherish those around you.
The ones who have stuck with you through thick and thin, well, they are going to walk their separate paths soon.
Your high school friends, whom you have fooled around with for the past few years. The true bros you have who could listen to you rant and understand everything you have to say. The people who have come to know exactly what kind of person you are through time, and understand you. Well, they are going to go into separate companies in NS soon. They are going to take on different journeys in different universities. Take up jobs in different countries. You might never see them again for the next few years.

Your JC class mates, people whom have encouraged you to study hard. Who have answered your doubts when you needed clarification. People whom you have bonded over time with, and have actually become really good friends with you. Well, they too are going to walk separate paths. Go separate ways. Move to other places.

And then there are you closest friends whom you have become the closest with. The people whom you would kill to spend time with, to have a good chat with, to just bask in each other's company with. Those people who instantly bright up your day when your day isn't going well. The people who can tell you with confidence "I care". The people whom you can trust to be there for you when you need them the most.
You wont see them as often in the future.
You gotta accept that
They
wont
be
beside you anymore.
And thats hard to swallow.

Those people whom you love? They won't be around you 24/7 anymore.
How sad is that.

You have 1 year.
1 year to make sure everything is repaired.
1 year to cherish those around them
1 year to achieve perfection when you have nothing even close to being perfect

1 year to make everything right.
