Dearest Fuzzy,

It's been more than a year since we've been together, and I hope that your passing is due to old age and not of my neglect. I'm sorry that I haven't been giving you enough attention all these while, especially during the exam period. I knew this day would come, but I never expect it to be so soon. Yeah the average lifespan of a hamster is about 2 years, but everything just seems so sudden. I guess, one can never fully prepare himself for such things. Anyhow, it's been awesome to have you around, even though initially I did complain about cleaning your cage. After a while, I get used to it and it's a good relaxation exercise, and it's always satisfying to see you running around the clean cage, pushing the food holder to one side because you like to hide in the resulting gap, and then running on the wheel for a few seconds before you decide you are tired, and then burrowing in the bath sand because it's comfortable. You would always unravel the recycled paper and the colourful things in the wood shavings and bring them to your house, where you decorated it. To know that you have passed on in this favourite house of yours is perhaps some form of comfort to me.

Rest in peace, and you'll always have a place in my life.

Even if it were, it would be pretty thorny.

That's why in times like these, one person has to pull through.

Communication between 2 people will tend towards some misunderstandings at times, simply because that is how things are. Through some arguments, disagreements, quarrels, fights, unhappiness do we then realise and learn. What's important is not be bogged down by those unpleasant feelings, but to tell yourself that you just learnt one new thing, and eliminated a possible source of conflict in the future.

Only through constant communication (and accordingly, misunderstandings at times too) can 2 people get to know each other better, and understand each other's quirks and what makes one tick. It's a transient dip in pleasantness between the parties, but a long-term growth and maturity in the relationship.

人本性就是那么的自私，不管再怎样的体贴别人，终究还是会有一些为了自己。我也是那么的有限，有时只不过是心太急，抑或者一时的不小心。若是影响了你，还是刺激到你，也就只能一句：对不起，我不是故意的。

如果我的坚强任性会不小心伤害了你，你能不能温柔提醒。

自私是我不对。

我还在学，我会改变。
