More From Juita Kartini

Last December, I got a new job at a company located outside the city. That meant I had to move out of my parents’ house and live alone in an apartment. I feel that entering two new worlds at the same time—professionally in a new office and a new work environment as well as adapting to a new living environment—is not easy to do.

I am grateful that God gave me friends who are always there for me. They always answer my phone calls, either just to say hello or to hear me talk about the day I went through. Maybe for them, it was just spending a moment to listen to me, but for me, their caring actions meant a lot. Thank you to all my dear friends out there.
