Encouragement

It always amazes me when someone encourages me, and it always uplifts me when someone tells me he or she is thankful for something I have done.

I am very sure this is the same for most people I know.

Yet it is amazing because I don't expect it, and after a while I feel terribly depressed after I receive a note of encouragement.

Perhaps it's the fault of my mindset. I always have been thinking - NEVER expect thanks from anyone, NEITHER should you expect any support, backing or encouragement. Encourage others but don't expect reciprocation.

Whatever the reason, its only God who can help me in such times where the black dog takes over.

(Oh yes, you realise that I never talk about school nowadays? It could be a trap, and people might use those words against me, so might as well shut my bally mouth about it. Careless talk costs lives... I let a few things loose once and I think I got away with it. I should be more careful.)
