Out!
I had made plans. I decided I can’t be a slave of this industry forever. The possibility of moving to something that may not be better in terms of financial gains but greater in terms of fulfillment gave me a sense of direction. Finally, I’ll be able to do what I want, will be able to practice what I was made of. This thought pushed me to finish what I have to.
The other day, my mom told me some bad news. The first thing that came into my mind, "Oh, no I can’t get out, I’m needed." It didnt make me feel better these past couple of days. I can’t decide whether this is a sign or simpy a test that I can overcome. So I’m back in my dilemma again. I don’t want to be a slave anymore, I want out! But I can’t not like this when crisis is underway.
I can’t live like this every day. I can’t go to work just looking forward for the next paycheck. I can’t go to work dreading what I do. I can’t go to work feeling unsatisfied about my career. I can’t.
At one point, I did enjoy what I do. Until this point of my stay, I gained more friends and our bond seemed to get stronger everyday that we spend time having coffee, eating breakfast and sitting together during the queues. This is the only thing I fear losing, yet these friends of mine understood what I’m going through.
My mind gooes blank. I still have something to finish. I’m in such a daze. The only thing I know is that I need to focus. Then I can worry about getting out later.

Hey, Jackie!
It really sucks that life can be such a double-edged sword. Just when we know where our true happiness as an individual lies, we have to choose between our OWN vs OTHERS’ happiness and wellbeing.
Hang in there.
Di ka nag-iisa. Unfortunately, maraming tayong ganyan ang dilemma sa buhay =(
