Come in. Yes, that’s me, you didn’t get it wrong.

For the past 24 hours, I was a doctor.

For Lovesick and Homesick.

I guess I am very feelings-oriented person. When someone dear to my heart comes telling me something that they are upset over, I feel a lot for them. There were so much more messages that I had received from their choked voices and down-spirited tone more than the words that they had muttered. 

It pains me as well and I wouldn’t want them to feel the way they were feeling. The only intention I had was to alleviate their emotional pain and direct their energy away from the sadness. The rest is up to them. We have to grow and learn from experiences on our own.

I also had such a fruitful talk with my student Sab this afternoon. About school, work, religion, values and dreams. Which also brought me to thinking of the idea of being a counselor for youths, which I had at the back of my mind sometime ago.

I guess there is this desire within me, who wants to listen and give more than what my two cents are worth. I believe in making a difference, even if it means that to only ONE person in the world.
