then there was another one.

how many times does encouragement happen?
how many negatives to go through before a positive?
how much hard work (and tears) has to be put in first?

is it all worth the once-in-a-while compliment?
the one that makes you regain the purpose of your work again?

it's not just any compliment, from anyone...
and it's something I don't see myself as - confident, friendly.

all these make me question: what am I really working for?

thank yous for cheering me on...you don't know how much that means to me. maybe it's because you've been through this phase yourselves. but just that simple word of encouragement...maybe it IS my smile I'm blessed with...
