Where do I begin?
Ok… so you chose your career over your happiness. It wasn’t really the idea at first, as you never thought that there’d be a trade-off – had you known, you could have chosen happiness. But it did happen anyway, they did not go together, you couldn’t figure out why and it made you really depressed.
So you console yourself; you tell yourself that when all else is gone, at least your professional advancement stays. Then you start achieving, acquiring new skills, gaining new knowledge, learning new stuff, discovering new things and it becomes somehow fulfilling. But it’s not always sun-shiny; you get failures, frustrations and disappointments, so depression gets the better of you again.
Then, you turn to people; either you get in touch with old friends – do the usual stuff or try something new, find comfort, care and love, share memories and experiences, or; you expand your network – meet new folks, get to know some better, make friendships. They give you fun, laughter and surprises and show you a whole new you. At the end of the day though, each person has his or her own life, so you can be left alone still, sad again.
But… One day, you get that one thing or meet that one person and suddenly everything makes sense. You now know the reason for things in the past, you are now grateful for the turn of events, you forget your regrets and you no longer think that nothing compares to your old happiness. ‘Coz suddenly, in front of you, within your reach, in plain sight; is something or someone so much better than the last, something or someone that completes you.
And me? Well, I just found out, I’m now one step closer to my something – God willing, I may really have it. And as a plus, can I possibly already have that someone too? Let’s find out…
…Soon.
