Albert Einstein once said that "the only source of knowledge is experience." Some people create the experience by themselves. Sometimes, it comes by itself. At the age of 14, I've learnt to find for moolah on my own. I worked at Dad's restaurant but it wasn't adequate. Dad added some pocket money as well, but it was too little. Nevertheless, I never complaint. I knew my condition and I told myself, "If I wanted something, I had to work for it." However, I never told Grandma, Aunties and Uncles about my dirty part time job.

Now, in the present, I am stronger. When I was nine...

Trypanophobia
My heart is not at ease, tonight. I have no idea why. Perhaps I've been thinking about the same issue over again. What am I to them? A mere toy, instead of a friend? I'm haunted by the pasts, so I'm a bit pessimistic with the new friendships that I'm trying to build. Struggle not to mind over these things, yet I can't help it. In my heart, I pray a hopeful hymn..
