Two months had passed unnoticed since I wrote my last post. I have completed my second semester at uni, and several months of work. I have been having these disturbing thoughts about the future that I am on the edge of frustration. Out of the blue I remember our family friend, “W” of Germany. Suddenly I missed this man so badly; I missed the moment when the three of us – myself, my husband, and him – talked in a bar in Yangon, heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul. It was 2009, and since then I had experienced a drastic change of life. I just wanted to hear someone said not to worry about things but have faith in life, in the good things that are coming my way …
One of our friends is sort of “evicted” this evening from the house they are renting now because it was sold to somebody else. I felt so sad for him and his family, I am wondering what will happen to their three kids. Within a month there will be long Christmas break until end of January 2012, and again I felt sad to see the kids had to move house and live somewhere else. Or perhaps they will have to move their schools too, getting new friends, new environment …
Anyway, I guess it’s a reminder to say my gratitude for what I have and what I am now, instead of thinking about things I have no control of such as the future.
