You need hardships, to build perspective.
You need hardships to grow.
A pampered brat never really goes nowhere.
And here I am in KL Sentral, with my unholy baggage filled with clothes (to be laundered) and a sick me, down with flu, and it's raining outside.
I'm overdramatizing things.
Let me get this straight. I'm a well built woman who just got into a car accident last week to my utter dismay and my car is, again, at the workshop waiting to be fixed. And I'm carless. And almost helpless. It's been a good 6 months since I last took any public transport, ever.
I opted for nasi lemak ayam goreng at Meal Station, KL Sentral, choosing a table facing the sidewalk, facing the 3 Novels for RM25 shop.
A few blind people walked past me with their walking stick guiding them. And all of them, are alone. Alone, and can't see. But they are not lost. Not one of them. Their gait showed purpose. No uncertainty, at all. None.
Weirdly enough, I feel like I can relate to them.
I felt handicapped these times, being carless. I feel like I can't go places, can't do much. But my routine hasn't changed. At all. I still go out every night (in my friends' car.) I still go home today on my offday, tho I spent an effing RM40 on Uber alone. (It's a 2 way ticket to Johor price, but it's not the time for me to be a cheapskate.) And I'm still very much alive.
I guess I have to learn to stop complaining so much.
Cheers,
Keon.
