THE ART OF MAINTAINING

Dear Amelia,

Always excited and eager whenever you start something new. You'll think of it in the class, in the bus, during lunch and dinner, and sometimes, even in your dreams. But as time passes by, the enthusiasm fades. You lose sparks and wonders. You feel bored.

Think about it. Everything in this world needs maintenance. You need to keep your living environment clean, to stay happy and healthy. You need to maintain your relationships with family, friends and lover; keep in touch, and show that you care. You need to maintain your body; hair, face, skin and weight, to feel confident and healthier. You need to constantly water your plant so it does not wither. And of course you need to maintain your blog, *ahem ahem* so that those reading will be able to hear from you consistently; to get to know you better. 

Girl, the art of maintaining is tedious, but it is nevertheless crucial. In life, there will be things worth maintaining, and you should never stop doing so.
