Comfort Zone
For fours years or so I've been in my comfort zone. Same environment, same classmates, same schoolmates, same friends. Always hiding in my shell and always dependent on my friends especially to my two best of friends Mj & Rica. But now that I'm in college,now that I've got no one to rely on, its so hard to cope up with things. Hard to accept that I have no one to turn to whenever I have problems, or just sharing my kiliig and happy moments. But that's life. You have to learn to be independent cause relying on somone will make you no good. It will only increase your cowardness...
Decisions
" Whatever choice you make is gonna affect the rest of your life "
These words of Nathan Scott to Haley James really struck me. I remembered the worst decision I made in the most important stage of my life -- choosing my future career. I really do love cooking. In fact, when I was a kid, I dreamt of being a famous chef someday; pastry chef in particular. Unfortunately, when I was about to make up my mind regarding the course I have to take, I hesitated to choose culinary course. My relatives told me that teaching is a good career. I'll have many opportunities abroad. Some of my friends say that it is, too, a career wherein you'll find lots of job when you graduated. In other words, I listened to them though I never see myself teaching someday. I thought I'd be able to love this profession as the day goes by.
Later I found out that I'm being harsh on myself. Trying to love what I don't really love and trying to be happy with what I am doing. I feel really sorry about myself. Maybe this was the greatest regret I've ever done in my whole life so far. Nevertheless, I can't blame anyone. All I can blame is myself; listening to their advices knowing my heart beats for HRM. On the other hand, maybe another reason why I obeyed them is that I am afraid of what's gonna happen if I disobey them. I thought they're the ones who know what's best for me. However, I've realized that its always up to you on how you run your life. Ask others' opinions & suggestions and listen to them, yeah, that's ideal, but don't rely on them to make your choices because they don't hold your life and in the end, you'll be the one to suffer the consequences; not them. Make your decisions but don't rush. Think hard and weigh your options. And always follow your heart no matter what because its the only accurate instrument that knows what you really like. And if in case you made a mistake because of following your heart, at least you'll never blame anyone and you'll never be that rude on yourself becuase you know that its a choice you made. And you'll confidently say that "kaya ko 'to panindigan coz this is my decision; not others..."
My final advice to those who are confused in making decisions, don't be afraid becuase if you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't step, you're always on the same place.
