My very own promposal (22/9/2014, Monday)

I'll keep the person as Unknown :) 

He told me the day before about giving me cupcakes, well I said okay. The next day, he came to me this morning around 7++ and wanted to pass me them but I was kinda like in a rush to open the library door for the juniors to be on duty. The same thing happened at 8++ when they wasn't any teacher in my class but I was talking non stop with my seat mate, yen ling 😅 anddddd I didn't realise that anything was wrong. And again, he came over during recess but againnnnn I was busy arguing with teacher about my exam papers hehhh. 

When everything was settled, I sat down. He sat beside me. He brought me out of class. I saw my classmate, Ryan, was holding a box. Ryan passed the box to him and I thought it was just an ordinary box. Until I saw the content. I managed to see the word "prom" only but I knew what he meant. I stunt there for quite long. I couldn't believe it at all. I didn't expect anything like this to happen to me. I couldn't give him an answer on the spot, I told him I would tell after school.

Pain demands to be felt.

Quoted from "the fault in our stars" by John Green.

I can't say I've been through a lot, nor I can say I've been through little. I felt pain in life in different aspects, I could never explained what does pain mean to me, until the book stated was published. 

Everyone experienced all kind of pains. The pain of losing our love ones, the pain of surviving cancer, the pain of lost, everything...... Well, it demands to be felt, that's the thing about pain. 

I had a thought in my mind after reading this book. Would like to share though. 

What would you do if you have a friend that's suffering from cancer? Or even one of your family member? (Which is probably worse) We can never ever understand how they feel. They are emotionally, physically and mentally tortured by a grenade. They feel the pain which we don't. They always stay strong. They are different in a way. But they are always strong. They fight for their lives. They are still staying strong.

We often say we will be there for them. We often give them moral support. We often feel sad about their condition. Think about this, will these help much? I'm not saying these actions are wrong, but pain demands to be felt.

The best thing we can do is simply just be there and lend them ourselves. Our shoulder, our ears, our time, our mind. 

It won't make their pain vanish in thin air, well at least it minimise the pain felt. Still that phrase, "pain demands to be felt".
