Life brings unexpected surprises; some bring joy, some bring tears, most will just leave you wanting to depart - but life goes on and on.

Whether we like it or not.

Hi, people of Hive!

I have been inactive the past few days. There are days I just stared at the ceiling of my room, wondering if my dog will ever come home. But she's been gone for four days now and I only wish she's not feeling any pain.

Grief kept coming back like an old friend.

Starting my OJT!

Last Wednesday, with all of sudden, we had our orientation with our program head at school and immediately, we were deployed.

I never thought it would be this week. It is still unprocessed in my mind but of course I have to get through it and jump into this new chapter of my college life as soon as possible or else, I wouldn't be able to see how great it is.

To be honest, I am not sure we could really apply our learnings with what we do in the office but I am very grateful that my fellow trainees are kind and fun to be with. We're all introverts yet we are capable of overcoming it.

We have talked a lot about so many things with the first three days of our OJT. We have to complete a minimum of 400 hours and we really don't know if we could do that but we're looking into ways how to accomplish it faster.

It's a roller coaster ride and I still feel nauseous with the bottled up emotions inside of me but hakuna matata! No worries :) I know I'm always braver; there's a fire burning in my heart and I have to keep up with all the adversities of life.

Aside from the heavy heart, I know God has been good to me as well. I received a some good news which I will tell next time. May He heal our broken hearts with His love and comfort.

On our second day, we saw this rainbow before heading home. I wanted to cry - I thought of my dog. Is this the sign that my dog has crossed the rainbow bridge? Is she telling me that she's on her way home too?

I hope we could know more but the dark part will forever be unknown and we could only hope it won't haunt us through our lifetime.

I think that's all for this article. I have no wisdom to share for now but if you read this, thanks a lot and I appreciate it.

Always take care and be kind. Live the moment!

Love, Darian

I hope your dog will come back soon. And God bless on your OJT journey

Thank you po!

Good luck to your OJT! You're getting there. And I'm sorry for your loss. I hope your dog finds her peace.

Thank you so much! Hoping I could survive and enjoy it too. Wishing all is well with you.

When I was back in UK last year, someone in the village lost their dog for around 10 days. By putting out a lot of posts on the village Facebook group, the dog was located. I know, FB, the great evil lol ... thing is, the local group platform there is incredibly powerful at putting out something like this. Perhaps situation is different, or you already tried this. Anyway, wishing you blessings

Thank you so much! I noticed my dog was ill before she got lost. And they hide when they’re in pain :(
