Heartaches

Currently listening to: Somebody~ Depeche Mode

I survived today. Entire day of meetings (well, almost!). It's now 12 midnight and I'm about to sleep. Meetings zapped my energy. Some other news too. Someone else just tendered resignation. Didn't expect it to be so soon.

It is as crazy as always. I'm really weary but I keep on going. One day after another and the weekend comes. I take a breather. Then another week comes.

Then I think it isn't so bad after all. I think I'm still a lot more fortunate than many people out there. Today TT helped me call someone back and that person has got cancer. Not the worst case we have got but it still saddens me somewhat. I can never forget that couple whose son died and who now live in a rented one-room flat. Both old, sick and lonely. I heard her cry on the phone.

Heart aches.

Someone else's story. Shouldn't be really talking about it here but I'll just write enough for me to know.

Marriage and divorce shouldn't be taken lightly. Love shouldn't be received and then thrown away without much thought. Her happiness shouldn't be treated secondary to your own.

She says she's all right. She has always been strong and been through greater challenges.

I have few comforting words to say. My heart aches. What are my heartaches compared to theirs?
