"Oh you do. You're friendly but you're locked up in your own world, emotionally distant.."
...Ouch!
Something bothering my mind right now..
Run away? Maybe I'll hide within my bubbles..

Sometimes we tend to overlook the small things that would make us happy, we want to have more-food, shelter, gadgets, vices, hobbies, money and power. I admit, I have this urge to get more than what I have-I'd love to have this, get that, own it and put a mark on it. Human nature?
Yes it is.
But
then, this guy (no a child, but acts like a man) who's working hard
24/7 just to earn pennies for himself. He gets up early for school,
cleaning sea cucumber, swimming till the break of dawn-just to get more
sea cucumber, sea shells and other sea creatures that they can sell at
the market.
What really made me teary eyed was seeing him sacrificing his sleep, working too hard using his small body so he can provide money for his education.
I was like starting to asked myself, do I have the right to complain when my work gets too shitty? Not!
Amazed by his determination to help himself get out from their living and be able to reach the city, to study for college then help his family in the future.
What made me moved was when he blurted out his simple dream-to become a janitor.
I caught myself crying as I pitied this boy, who should have been enjoying his childhood years rather than forcing himself to work hard then earn a little.
I hope, someone will give him help-a scholarship to help him be more focus at school and enjoy life as it should be.
He doesn't deserve this kind of life but I'm wishing someday, his life would be better..better than this.
This little guy made me realize to take a look around me, enjoy the little things that would make me happy. I maybe experiencing a lot of difficulties in my life but comparing to his?
I think I should feel more contented and maximize whatever I have today than complaining or wanting for something that I know I will never have...but I can at least try, right?
