🌹 Happy 81, Daw Suu 🌹

I’ve found more warmth, more wholehearted love, more tenderness, more courage, and more caring concern among my people, as we hope together, we suffer together and struggle together, than anywhere else in the world Aung San Suu Kyi Letter from Burma (1997)

လွင့်မြောခြင်း

I didn’t (and never had to) worry about money before but now I do. 

The affluent life that I used to live is a distant memory now. 

I’ve got a new job now on unemployment line. And I don’t know how, how I got into this mess. 

Days of the week don’t matter to me, not anymore!! 

Monday doesn’t spark a joy nor does Friday. Weekend means nothing to me. 

Today for no reason I wonder what mum would say if she sees me now as I enjoy လမ်းသရဲမုန့် on a pavement in my  unhygienically clean pyjamas.

One thing I’ve learnt today is our personal problems become so insignificant when we are far away from home.
