Grow

One of the kid characteristic is their difficulties in expressing themselves, once they encountered a problem they will show us many emotions such as confusion, frustration, anger, despair, and sadness. They will throw tantrum to communicate their unspeakable words instead of using sentences to complain or explain. This is because children have their limitation in vocabulary. Therefore the process of growing up require brushing up our communication skills. I still learning on how to expressing my emotion in words, and I use this blogging platform to improve my communication skills.

My husband and I are a pair of serious people. It is my joy to annoy him by doing prank and utter silly things. My husband often said to me that "small things amused small mind" (he said it in a gentle manner of course 😍). Indeed, I love small and simple things so much, I always keep my distance from complicated items, expensive things and phony behaviour, I even avoid socializing and keep my circle so small. Per contra, in the society what so called 'grown up adults' are complex beings, I guess I still have to grow up each and every day, and built the way I think and carry myself and hopefully I can become an open sophisticated adult with the heart of a child. 

We currently live in a long peaceful era, the war we know and experience are the cyber war and the emotional war in the real housewives, love islands, and the bachelor. We have limited life experiences, and living a convenient yet shallow lives. The young generation nowadays are live comfortably and have not been exposed to many life events such as suffering and deaths, thanks to the decrease of poverty and the rise of middle class income people in the developed and developing countries, 

I also have had a comfortable upbringing, my parents were good provider and they were quite protective of their children. Because of this, I think some part of me are still live in my own bubble until now. And that's what attracted me to drama on TV and internet, all these binge watching is just to compensate all the dull days. I need to step up my game, be more responsible of myself by stop wasting time on pleasurable events and entertainments. I would make my days filled with small achievements. I need to get out of my comfort zone, find my sweet spot, and grow.

Tiny But Big

The biggest and most captivating smile that I have ever received is in 2004, when I was doing a charity work to the marginal people who live in the landfill of the wealthiest people in the country. The warmest hug that I have ever received from a stranger is in 2018 from the homeless man who stop and asked me if I have a spare change which I did not have. Despite the fact that I had nothing to give him, he gave me a hug that I can't forget, the hug that come unexpected yet so beautiful. God usually pack a lot of power and strength into tiny little packages, in the most humble way.
