In Humans of KL

“I had an obsession with pain and I used to cut myself. I had this tattoo to remind myself to remain grounded. I like to travel, and I don’t have that concept of home like most people do, and I almost moved away from Malaysia to Siem Reap. It can be home, or family, and I never had that anchor. My family dynamics were different. Its to remind me that no matter where your heart takes you, keep yourself ‘anchored’. One big reason that made me grounded was service (volunteering). I know that sounds horrible but one of the reasons I did not move to Cambodia was the people I was helping here in Malaysia. The families and the people who are in need that I look after. I can’t abandon the people I am looking after here. Service is a huge part of my life. When I started dating, I could only date someone who also volunteered and understood it. Its not a fad thing its just how it is for me. “
