At lunch, I sat at the coffeeshop people watching, saw this old man across the street, staggering in small steps to keep moving.

I heard about a boyfriend getting caught in bed today with someone else.

I was told about an incident involving molest.

I recalled how poverty kills.

And how jealousy spills.

I learnt to stop crying at the age of 18, when I was ushered into the bus and sent to the camp. Crying, no matter how muted, how private, how soft, how hurt, how little, I never did ever since.

I learnt to forgive myself for being selfless, and for giving more than asked for.

I finally learnt what peace will be.
