A life lesson

It's been a while since I feel so happy just reading short stories. Last night *ym ovel* shared short stories with me written by SAKI. It brought up all the memories I had during my university years, when reading short stories was part of the syllabus. Something that was just a curriculum sparked my passion more for reading. I always feel that I have the flare to be a writer, even though *syok sendiri* or self absorbed as it may sound, I wanted to write about my perceptions of life, I wanted to share with everyone how I viewed things around me, any issue, anything that is worth writing, because life itself is a never ending story. 

There was an activity that I always do during motivational program call "Graf Kehidupan", in which you have to plot your life on a piece of paper, and scale the level of happiness and sadness that you feel during that period of time. I did that so many times, and I have been given the opportunity to listen to life stories of others, their happiness and sadness, their pain and joy. Some even made me cry, and it taught me the most important lesson of all "We should never say that our life is hard, because out there are individuals who suffer more than we do". I would never trade my life with anything; I would never look back and regret the choices I made, what happened in the past, made me to be the individual I am now. And I am blessed with having the company of friends, family and love one.
