Shopping with phui yin today made me feel a strange yearning for an older sister. Someone to guide me, someone to tell me where not to fall, mistakes not to make, and yet also have a mutual understanding of the things going on at the specific points in my life so as to give a leeway of some sort unlike parents born of the previous generation.
Then again, I've always wanted a mentor, like someone to tell me exactly, straight down to the details what to do, how to act, in studies, in life. But I don't have that. A mentor is someone who takes on a heavy burden of directing a person's life - who would want to do it? A mentor also has to be of age and possess a decent amount of wisdom and experience to guide someone down to the t - where to find such rare species? Again, just some thoughts.
