The path is on this grass patch.. Not visible here from this angle >.<

I had missed my usual Circle Line exit while leaving the MRT station and instead went out by the old one which was on top of this hill.

In the past before the Circle Line was completed, residents from my side of town will just trudge up the hill to the entrance. Over time, these footsteps left their mark - the ground that had been stepped on countless times had become dry and barren, and thus, a dirt path formed.

Now that there's an exit at the base of the hill, the old dirt path has been left on its own, a silent reminder to the 'glory days' it once enjoyed.

Today I descended the hill following what was left of the path. Although with time wild grasses and shrubs had started to grow out of the dirt once more, the outline of the path was pretty much visible even under the pale moonlight.

That left me thinking quite a bit.

Scars are just like dirt paths in a grass patch.. No matter how much the surrounding vegetation tries to cover it with the passage of time the outline will always be visible. Just like on Tekong during outfield it's not difficult when in the undergrowth to find abandoned paths going up this knoll of across this field.

They are permanent.. and can never be erased no matter what happens..
Forgiven, but never forgotten

I carry a lot of self-inflicted ones.. The best I can do now is to learn from it, and never commit the same mistakes ever again..

Just food for thought I guess before someone ( ------> ) goes to sleep.. =P
