Some changes in my life.

I don’t wonder why people love to play it safe. Whether it’s the simplest thing on earth or the most serious decision they have to make in life. I guess we’re afraid that our choices fail us and make us regret for the rest of our lives. We’ve almost forgotten that this is our life that we are the ones running it and not being driven by it. My sister finally stood up and made one of the biggest decisions she has ever made. She left us, our province and chase for her dreams. Given the opportunity to work in the capital of the Philippines, she just can’t resist. She insist on grabbing it and when she’s given the permission, she left. She left the very next morning saying that our uncle can accompany her. I say she can’t wait any longer. It’s almost 3 weeks since then and life has change drastically for the rest of us. We now have more hectic schedules, more work and to do things seem to pile up. Looking beyond this negativism, I felt my own maturity growing. I felt more responsible. I’m proud of her taking risk and everything seems fine for her. I just hate that I can’t go on for our tour next year. I’d love to go but I won’t be able to.

    your sister is really determined to follow her dream, you have to accept it, in life we sometime have no choice when others have made their choices, I can relate to this.
    thanks for sharing Jane, don’t worry too much, things will turn out fine..

    Only time will tell. We can only do what we think is right for us.

    I hope things work out for you. That’s great that your sister was able to throw caution to the wind and follow her dream. I wish you and your sister all the luck in the world.
