mega busy day at work. cant believe i went without food and water from 9am to 3pm just because i had 2 interviews and 1 reporting back to back. And one of my case just had to get into trouble with the law at the same time. so e amount of things i had to settle was =€§€{%<=$%#@! *meditate. I can do this. and during one of my interviews today, the mother told me that she couldnt take it anymore, whatever that was happening in her life at present. For some reasons, i could totally empathise with whatever she was saying.The things that she had gone through n struggled with were things that somewhat happened to me before and i know how that felt(but of course the extent of her problems were greater than mine). It sucks. I knew she needed the support, and i actually shared my own experiences with her and i broke down. crap. But honestly, i dun think tearing and sharing with my client is unprofessional. When you truly empathise,u feel it deep down. And at that moment, e mother who felt down and lost held my hand and provided comfort. I told her that women are amazing, because we are much stronger than we thought when we are faced with adversities. we are shaped through the experiences we went thru, and each time, we become stronger. right, and after ending such a emotional session with e mother, i had to switch to my PO mode almost immediately and do my reporting with my probationer. Felt schizo for a moment =/ but it has been an eventful day for me. work is never a routine. slowly finding back the meaning of my job.

sometimes we work and we find ourselves losing the purpose and meaning of it in e midst of writing the endless reports. I doubt my ability at times to effect positive change on the probationers and i questioned myself. Mmmmm.
