Come Back...Be Here

I just watched the above video and I have this deep sinking feeling in my gut.

I feel like I am going to throw up.

There's one part in the video where MingH said :

"You think you're alone in this world. But you're not. These people are alone"

And that just made me crumble.

It's true

Even when we feel that no one cares about us/ nobody understands us, we're still not alone.

We can always fall back on family or friends.

We can go back to the comfort of our own home

But what do these people have?

Undoubtedly, they did not ask to have leprosy

Who asks to be sick?

And of course they have a roof over their head, supply of food and friends to accompany them,

But is it the same?

Is it the same when all that they're doing is anticipating for family members to take them home?

Is it the same when they're simply grateful cos other people are there to accompany them?

It breaks my heart

This coming Tuesday, I am going to an orphanage

I think that will probably hurt more than this

This is definitely an eye opener

Never to take things for granted

Scrape off that ego/ shyness of your shoulder

Appreciate friends and family
Tell them you love them before it's too late

This suddenly reminds me of Tabitha
