never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
(see: mark twain)

this saying was told to me by my brigade commander, brigadier general atak. one day, following an incident, he had had an argument with a military personnel. when he summoned me, he was angry. normally, he was a very warm, calm, and knowledgeable person. he told me this saying, and i jotted it down at that moment. i realized then that he had said it solely for it to have an impact on my life — because he said nothing else to me. our meeting ended right after. thank you, commander; thanks to you, i stopped talking to — not just arguing with, but even speaking to — many stupid people."

i am not what happened to me, i am what i choose to become."

working so hard for my boss, and so little for myself.

the textbook definition is this: a voluntary, mutually gratifying relationship based on trust, affection, and shared experiences.

it's actually a strange feeling — this thing i've witnessed, that can start with a simple hello and grow into "i did these things, what about you?", "oh that sounds lovely, how are things going?". if having shared feelings and being able to share common experiences without envying each other is truly something beautiful... of course i've had friends before, but i'd never had a friend this far away, and someone this open-hearted. i don't know — life is strange, and the world is even stranger. i guess somehow two people are meant to cross paths, and one of them is meant to write about it here :) i'm so glad i met you.
