With a little help from my friends

-
It's always amusing to know how different we are from each other, and at the same time those differences could attract each other or dislike each other. How one person feels, thinks, perceives, cannot be entirely same to others. We are all different, indeed.

I felt so helpless when my friend told me about how she was stressed and struggling to cope her current situation. She is an admirable person, she always lifts my motivation up through my massage course and she is very clever and intelligent, knows a lot of things about what I am interested. She always show cheerful smile and seems to be full of positive energy. But, not this week. I wanted to do something for her but only I could do was to talk and listen. I wanted to save her from the darkness and uncertainty where she was wondering around. There were not so much I could do. I wished if only I could give her some comfort like she always gave me.

It was strange to be happened but many students from my course including me were quite distressed this week. It could be because of the upcoming exam, but every one had different reason either at home or work or any other reason. I would say it's time of the year when the weather becoming cold, makes us feel very vulnerable.

My friend sent me SMS later on said that my support helped her a lot today. I didn't expect her message as I thought I couldn't do anything for her. It was such a little help I could provide for her, just listening to her, tried to imagine what situation she was in or how she felt. I felt much better after she sent me the SMS and realised that she saved me in the end although it seemed I was the one trying to save her.

Kindness is going around and coming back to you if you give to anyone. It may not be the same way you do but it will come back to you. It may seem to be a little thing for you but different people see or feel things differently, and the little thing for you may be a big thing for others. I appreciate so much to people who do a lot to support me by talking, listening, giving positive feedback, showing smile and making me laugh. Every moment you share with me means a lot for me.

And of course thank you for reading my journal!! You must be a very kind and patient person to read till the end.

You can't tell who they really are from how they look or what they do, can you? People tend to judge others by their look and attitude. It's because really easy to see by eyes or hear. It's so visible and obvious. Attitude or saying in words could reflect what people think, but how many people are really doing how they want to do or what they think they wish to do. I am interested in how people really think. What would happen if all human-beings started to act honestly for themselves. Maybe it is the different from animal and human. Human have a capacity to lie themselves or hide true thoughts and act for other's benefit. Thinking that other's benefit is your gain, which, in other word, is LOVE. Maybe that the start of the development of community. Keeping harmony is the priority within the community. In American Indian culture, they don't have any law, in fact, it is not necessary. Having a strong tie in the community, it is fearful for individuals to lose t

Worthiness

worthiness Definition: noun 1.how suitable someone or something is 2.the quality of deserving respect or attention source: Cambridge Dictionary 1.The quality of being good enough; suitability   1.1 The quality of deserving attention or respect source: Oxford Dictionary When I am in crisis, question of worthiness always comes up in front of my existence. Am I worthy of existence? Am I worthy of keep existing? Am I ever be worthy of living? As long as I can remember, I have been feeling I have to earn to exist. I am not worthy of being this life. Therefore, at least, I want to make someone's life worthy, I want to make someone feel worthy of themselves. A part of that is my drama character, and another large part of that is because my brother passed away when he was 17 and I was 11. As I digested the fact of his death, I wondered why it is me still living and not him. Am I worthy of living? Why he is dead and I am alive? I wanted him to be

Train journey

-
From this week, I started to travel to the massage course by train. It takes 45 minuets and about an hour from door to door. I found it very relaxing compare to driving up the mountain via high way. I have a lot of time for reading, sleeping, looking at the mountains and bush, and meditating which I couldn't have done in the car. I always feel an interesting thing about train journey. The time and space in the train is somehow different from that of outside of train, as if I am traveling time much faster than the outside world and I become an observer who is looking through the world. The windows seem to be a multi screen displaying people who are going to school and work, or endless scenery of the magnificent nature. In return, I like to see the moving trains from outside especially at night. At the windows, I see people who may be going back to home, each individual is doing different things; looking out of windows, chatting with friends, talking on the mobile or sleeping peacefu
