Pearls Journey

  We don’t meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason. Never judge someone by their physical beauty. I often hear this from several people who at first they were strangers and then turned into my best friends. During my time as a volunteer, I got to know a lot of people. I got a lot of experience. Like this story, at that time I knew him because he sent me a DM. I asked him what brought him there. He was engaged and his parents did the arranged marriage for him. He said that in a few months he would be getting married. I asked him, if he was engaged, then why he felt lonely. Doesn't he now have a fiancé that they should both learn to know each other before their wedding? He told me actually he wasn't comfortable with any of that. He also felt that he did not like the girl his parents chose. It's just that because his parents were forcing him and he didn't want to hurt his parents, he was forced to do the arranged marriage. We talked...

  I won’t say that your lessons were very easy to learn – but I will say that all of your lessons came at a time when I needed them the most Everyone has their own perspective and whatever it is I always learn to appreciate and respect their perspective. Even though sometimes their perspectives are different from mine, but I have learned to accept, respect and understand them . I often have the experience of having different opinions with other people but I don't always stand up for mine. If their opinion is right and I am wrong, then I don't hesitate to admit that their opinion is right. There are some people who have asked me, Am I never angry? Why can I be this patient? How can I have a mindset like this? How can I always understand someone? How can I understand their feelings? I think it started because I have a lot of siblings and also an elder. In my family, they demand me to be the perfect elder. They never said it openly, but indirectly they demanded that I ne...

  Met you as a stranger took you as a friend Hope we meet in Heaven where friendship never ends Some time ago, while I was scrolling through my timeline, a post caught my attention. The post caught my attention because someone wanted to share his sadness about his niece being hospitalized with bronchitis pneumonia. At that time I commented on the post. I encouraged him not to be sad and prayed that his niece would get well soon.   But it's just that somehow that post keep circling on my mind. As is my habit, I checked the person's bio, saw other posts he had made. I want to get to know him through his posts. After a while, I decided to Dm that person. I think actually the strongest reason why I wanted to get his DMs was because I know how sad it is to know someone we care about is in the hospital with bronchitis pneumonia. My daughter when she was a baby also experienced the same thing. Maybe that's the reason why I ended up DMing him. At first I thought may...

  Pregnancy is something that is often awaited by married couples. So am I. Having children is an infinite gift given from God to us. I really like taking care of babies. Maybe it's because since childhood I always take care of my siblings, making me like babies and kids. Surprisingly they were easy to get close to me. Even though they're not my children and it might be our first meeting, but somehow it's always easy for me to get close to them. So when I got married, my partner and I did not delay the time to have children. At that time I was still working and I was very young. I’ m still immature and I'm still very inexperienced. My mindset was too simple, I like babies and kids so I wanted to experience pregnancy and have my own child. My pregnancy was not something easy for me to experience at that time. Not because of nausea in the morning or because my body is weak. The worst thing was that my emotions were suddenly much more unstable. I can barely con...

  Everyone has different traits, characters and habits. Since I was a child, I used to hang out and get acquainted with many people. Maybe this is because the genes passed on by my parents because they are also the type that is easy to get along with makes me also have the same characteristics as them. Maybe also it's because since childhood I'm used to living moving from one place to another, making me have to learn quickly to get to know new places, make new friends and learn quickly to adapt myself to existing circumstances. Because all of that in the end made it easy for me to read other people's characteristics or traits. Maybe just by having a short conversation or reading their gestures, I can easily read whether they are happy, comfortable or uncomfortable talking to me or being near me. It's not an easy thing to do all that. When I first meet someone, I usually pay attention to how their mood is when they talk to me. Usually from the way they talk to me it ...
