Life's Vicissitudes

Not everyone will understand your journey. That's okay.
You're here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.
As we grow wiser, we will find that the answers to our questions can be found not through internet searches or consultations with others. The richness and depth of our experiences, be it good or not, will answer them.
I was a lost soul when I was much younger, not knowing what I really like. Would I pursue law or continue with Theology and as I fall in indecisiveness, I ended in a straight path, a profession I learned to care and love. My experiences taught me to take my time, to feel where my heart is, and dig deeper. I needed to sink roots and I did.
I had loved a few people but rejected by many. My experiences taught me to love myself fully rather than offer myself to despair. I wasn't able to marry, a regret I had, but my single blessedness is giving me opportunities that I might not be able to do if I have my own family.
I met so many people in my life both locals and international. That nationality is not a factor in friendship, but sincerity in its pursuit. That wealth is a measurement for others but not for those who stayed. That distance is not important to those who continue to reach out. Friends come but many will go and for those who will stay, keep them in your hearts.
That whatever choices I make in my life is mine. If you do not agree to my decisions, you can give your opinions but it is still me who will walk the walk. If I choose to go a different path, it is because I wanted to show that I can be myself, and not a follower of others' dreams. My short stay in this world is measured by the journey I will take so I wanted them to be filled with joy.
There are three things I learn in life:
My journey is my responsibility, not anyone else's.
My sharings in life is my choice and legacy, that nobody can erase.
My decisions, though with regrets, are my life's scaffolding.
So believe and conquer.

We all have our own path to take and our own journey to make. Good thing is along the way, we hope not to wander aimlessly. We grow and reach a point called maturity. :)

The Japanese like this new song " Life is like a paper airplane for 365 days".

When I was younger and in the university, I do not even know why I took my course and where I will proceed with it. Good people will be around you and will show you the path. Their experiences will guide you as well. Then it is up to you to listen to your heart and follow it.
Your maturity is still being tested, and your experiences still accumulating. May your decisions be wise and please do what you feel is right.
Buddy, thumbs up !
Sabi nga nila diba experience is the best teacher.... in my case, the lessons are not yet clear.. i have to dig deeper i guess ^_^
Mama's advise was, "whatever you think is best for you, gawin mo. Pabayaan mo sila."
Yes. I believe that things are bound to get better. And I am conquering my fears!
Thank you Cher Jo for always being an email away.
Thank you for this entry. How very profound. This is a very good read. Thank you for sharing the light.
The next time someone asks you what you are doing with your life, answer them by asking them back, how about you? It is easy for people to see other's situations rather than look at what they are doing and had done in life. I have not encountered a family member of mine who speaks so highly of themselves because they probably knew that they will be drowned by my stories.
I wrote this post as an inspiration for others and as a reminder for me to continue conquering paths and to practise humility throughout. I am not on top of the world yet, which is not really my goal, but I am confident that I can go on with my life with pride.
I will pray for you and your decisions Cher and hoping things will fall in their right places.
My pleasure, and with your first visit, I do appreciate the comment knowing you read the entry and made your presence known.
I had my own share of growing up frustrations and lost feelings too. I remembered that I wished I was not born into this world. I have no such regrets anymore as religion managed to shape my paths and thoughts well to understand my existence.
I think you have certainly come a long way today and live a happier life overseas. I wish you all the best and hopefully you will move on to many more countries in your career.
