Alone...

Sigh... My willingness to go to the ends of the earth for people who'd barely lift a finger to help me astounds me.

I think what happened yesterday was just a physical manifestation of how I've been feeling for much of recent times. I've worked so hard for many people, but few have actually done much for me. Perhaps I'm being a bit selfish, but I just wish that I could get something back. Just once, I would like to receive, not an expensive or lavish birthday present, but a nice sincere card. Something a bit more personal.

In some ways, I think the best birthday present I got this year was Zi Guang's. At least that was more personal...
