Exams are coming!!! gosh, time really flies. It just whoosh passed me, without even blinking! oh dear...... Decided to take a short break to key in a simple post on my reflection (*actually secretly, i am taking a lot of short breaks today. ThAT IS GOING TO STOP TML!)
Watched the channel 8's 从心开始 today. It was a touching and overwhelming show to watch actually. People, or rather, victims went on the show live to tell their stories. These are people who have suffered silently all these years with no help/minimal help given to them. All their life stories were rather heart wretching. And it broke mine today to see the young woman been broken into pieces. She was raped when she was only 7, got pregnant at 13. Subsequently, she was raped again. First, was by his dad's friend (such a monstrous act...). Then she was raped repeatedly by her brother's 2 friends.
I believe anyone who went through this kind of moments wont be able to survive, mentally or physically. She is strong. I believe she is, in order to live till today (although she had attempted suicides several times). But it was rather evident in her eyes that she is still haunted by her memories of such thing. The only redeeming thing that came out of all these happenings was that she managed to find, her current husband, the one and only guy who accepted her for who she was and has never regret his decision to marry her. He stood by her all these while, and even took care of her mother who has severe bouts of depression. Life is hard for them all. Life is never easy, and each and every one of us has a different destiny. This fact remains.
She is going to take a long time to recover. But i hope she does. She deserve some love, some happiness of her own after what had already been taken from her. Her childhood, her first love, her dreams, her courage. All that is left, is just a skeleton, a soul so broken that it will definitely take time to heal. Not even completely heal. Some wounds never heal, some may heal but not completely, some heal leaving scars behind. But she has took the first step towards healing. Kudos to the social worker name Patricia who has been helping her all along.
It took courage, i meant serious courage and guts to come out and talk about her past. I just hope, life will treat her better now. Everybody needs a second chance at living.
A simple sunny day has different meanings for people who look at it, at different time of the day, at different location. Just like how people with different backgrounds will look at it in a different way as well.
Life is fragile. Nothing could be simpler than this.
