It’s time for me to repay your kindness

I don’t live in this world alone. I know that for that I need the help of others. If I act bad then no one will help me when I’m in trouble.

Today suddenly a friend of mine contacted me. She’s an old friend of mine who used to go to college with me. In the past, she was my partner in crime. We used to doing crazy things together so much until we parted ways.

We have a good relationship, I was always there for her and at that time, I helped her a lot. This time suddenly she needed my help.

It turned out that she took the same path, becoming a writer. For that she needed my help. I never thought that she would take the same path as me, after all these years.

We have the same vibe but she’s a lot softer than me. She helped me once when I was about to launch my book and she offered to help me make a promotional video for my books.

At that time I was speechless, did not expect that there would be someone who would sincerely help me, whoever it might be, especially related to the book I wrote.

Knowing she needed help, of course I would be there to help her, to support her whatever it was.

Now I’m helping her to finish her book. Happiness is easy, at least for me. Knowing that my bonding with her is good so that we can continue to build our good friendship until now, for me has been amazing and makes me happy.

I never know when I need help but I do know that I need someone else’s help, at least once in a while. If I didn’t do good thing or I didn’t do it sincerely, then I’m sure no one would want to help me.

What’s wrong with doing good thing anyway? Won’t hurt us if we do good thing, right ?

This is just a life lesson for me, that whatever I do, one day it will come back to me. Be it a good deed or a bad deed.

And it’s called Karma.

What is clear, I am happy I can support and help her. I know how hard it is to create a book and I know what it’s like when I need someone but there’s no one to help me with that.

I just don’t want her to feel what I felt in the past. If I can help, why not?

I hope she can finish her book on time and I’m sure once her book is finished, she will be very happy. In the past or now, I’m still her partner in crime, just in a different form.
