i realize...

I read a post just now and I realized I've been a really bad person.

I saw a picture of a little boy sitting on a bed in a hospital. He was waiting for his chemotherapy procedure to be done. Yes, he's suffering cancer. He looked so frail and terrified. He looked tired. He kept on calling his mommy with his powerless voice.

Could you imagine what kind of days he has to go through? What kind of fear he has in mind? What kind of pain he has to suffer? How many gloomy face he has to see everyday? He has to bear the pain while trying to understand what is happening to himself. He's just a little boy.

I'm picturing him...
Playing with his friends.
Running here and there.
Thinking happy thoughts.
Being careless and free.

I always think that I'm living a boring and sad life. I always feel like I don't have enough of everything. I ask for too many things and always get a little upset whenever I talk about how I couldn't get those things.

Never realized...

I still have my "super ribet" family.
I still have my silly friends.
I still have my job.
And most importantly, I'm healthy up till this very moment...

I guess I have to be grateful for things that I have and stop complaining about ones I don't have...

p.s. my prayers for Pak Danang, the little boy in the picture, and all people fighting cancer.

Gotta keep that burning spirit and never cease till you get your life back...
