Being Understanding

I had no idea what I said in their wedding meant so much to her. She was so glad that finally someone can understand what she had to go through at the wedding- being in a foreign country and in a cross-culture relationship. I didn't mean to be understanding or sensitive. I was only saying things that I thought is appropriate and what I believe in.

I guess it's because I know exactly what it feel like personly, so the speech not only touched their hearts, but also sum up all her emotions perciously. Like in the Expectation, it's a gift to be able to understand one or the other. I was glad because of what I went through in the past, I touched another living being while she needed, so that now it gives a new meaning behind those disaster/mistake once I was suffering.

In return, she was there to support me for the same reason. We shared the feeling of being feeling outsider in a foreign country. It's really interesting to know how many feedback I got from sharing my own emotions. I am not only finding support from others, but also helping others to know they aren't alone facing the same challenges as me. We gave each other new stimulus to think of at the same time providing comfort to each other by being understanding.

It's such a gift to be able to understand others :D
