The Heart

God definitely made us all so unique. Our hearts are never similar to anyone else - everyone imprinted with individual dreams and hopes in life. How very intriguing. What marvels me even more is how quickly we forget.

Three months ago, I would never imagine myself not missing the kids back in FGA CCC. (Read here) The heartache of leaving these wonderful kids (whom I've regarded as siblings already) was just.. intense. Yet in all irony I did get over it. Shamefully, I forget the time I spent there sometimes. I feel less excited when they contact me.

And to think that me three months ago thought the pain of leaving Cambodia was permanent. That there would be nothing I can say or do to fix myself. To be honest I felt like a wreck when I came home. But look at me now, living as though I've never seen worse.

I wonder what happened to the person who saw kids barely having enough to eat? Let alone clothe themselves decently; even attaining an education. When I was there I promised myself countless times that I would be grateful and cherish my opportunity to further my studies. I promised myself to never be picky of what I am served during meals. To be grateful for the little things we call essential. Water, electricity, technology and even food. They consider it luxury.

We are blessed. Privileged. The world that revolves around us have been filled with innumerable blessings.

And yet, we are unhappy. Why?
