AMY-zing

To hear the story of someone's life and learn that there is also someone like me who struggles life, even more than I do, is inspiring and life changing.

My warmest regards to this wonderful people who become my supporters. Thank you so much everyone. God bless you always. 🥰❤️

My sincere apology for not writing anything last night it was due to a conversation from the girl next door who become my neighbor for almost a month now. I already know her name few days after I arrived in the boarding house but we don't talk much. Just a small good morning and exchange of smiles but last night was a different night. We had a conversation I never expect we could until we realize it was almost midnight.

Amy, that's her name. I don't know her family name yet but I have learned more than her family name. I was able to know her deeper than basic information. Her story wasn't so different from mine. We have many similarities. Yet, I could tell that if I will be in her shoes I couldn't surpass and made life until now.

Just like me she came from financially unstable family. But unlike me she is the eldest sibling of 11 kids, mine was just four and I'm the youngest. I can't imagine the responsibility she carry in her shoulder. Like me she work at an early age and away from the family but unlike me she stayed away up until college. She stop studying for many years, unlike me who stop for just two years. She lack the affection from a mother, while I have lots yet neglected and wasted few years back. She didn't enjoy life in her childhood while I explored mine.

I am not comparing my life to her though it sound like it, but trust me her life is incomparable than mine. Her struggle is incomparable than anyone else. Especially on how her family broke all her courage to fight life and broke her dreams into thousand of pieces. It's indeed very much painful to hear hurtful words coming from your own family, especially from our parents who is supposedly our constant and our rock.

I am totally amazed of how strong she is and she become from all her struggles in life. She is such a wonderful and amazing woman now. Grown with so much independence and courage to continue to fight.

Upon hearing her story, I realized I should stop complaining my life. I should stop comparing other struggles to mine. I would stop asking God why. Because other than me, there are people who struggled so much more than mine. I am such a self-centered human being who never appreciated what God had given. And not grateful of having more than what I deserved.

In this life we are busy complaining of what we have rather than be thankful of what we received. We are always comparing ourselves to others rather than improving ourselves for the better. We continued to ask God why we are living life the way it is rather than realizing that we are so much blessed and loved. That we are much privilege because there are someone out there who struggles life more than we do. That we are blessed even just having the eyes to see and the feet to walk. Much more that we have hands that completes us. Because there are a lot people out there who are lacking those parts. Even from that reason alone we are so much blessed.

I thank God for reminding me through her that I need to stop. Stop complaining, comparing and asking and be grateful instead. I believe God talk to me through her and I am happy to share to you what He had to say. The late sleep was much worth it. I hope you learn things as well.

That would be all for today friends. Thank you for giving me your precious time. I appreciate it so much. God bless.
