for the way you changed my plans
for being the perfect distraction
for the way you took the idea that i have
of everything that i wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing

for the ending of my first begin
and for the rare and unexpected friend
for the way you're something that i never choose
but at the same time something i don't wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again

you're the best thing I never knew I needed
so when you were here I had no idea
- Never Knew I needed; Neyo

Lately, I've been doing good. Really good actually. I never thought I would reach this place. It feels like I've found home. A lot of people tell me it seems I am always trying to sabotage my own happiness but I think those days are gone. I think I've grown up dramatically over the last couple of months. Everything in my life has changed and ALL for the best. I never thought I would enter this chapter of my life. I never thought I had the potential to be who I am today. I guess, this 'new' me needed sometime alone by herself to figure out thing. I used to have all these plans - my 5 years, 10 years, 15 years plan is now completely out of the window.

Life is funny isn't it, when you aren't expecting it everything falls apart and when you aren't focused on all your troubles everything mends itself again.

Honestly, it's a bit odd to say, all this happiness really stems from Lychee. Whenever I am having a bad day I would just look at her face and I know everything will be okay. She doesn't require much, I know I don't need to buy her all those toys, a plastic lid would do. All she needs is love and it's so refreshing. Sometimes it's so exhausting when people place such high expectations on you. She doesn't see your flaws and faults, she doesn't judge nor probe, she doesn't require explanations. She's just a bundle of love and joy.

Thank you for giving me this new 'family'.

Bobby Nguyen, you surprise me everyday.

You are someone I never knew I needed.
