A New Chapter

Tomorrow I begin a new chapter in my life. Frankly, I do not know what to expect and I have absolutely no idea what lies ahead.

The previous chapter took its toll on me, mentally and emotionally. I realised there were many things that were more important than money, and never again would I sell my soul to the devil for some spare cash.

I don't think anyone can blame me, with less than 1 year working experience, being offered a job that would more than double my salary, and making that jump. It was a quick way out but I lost so many things, intangible stuff that no amount of money could ever make up for.

I lost everything that I loved so much. Friends, personal life, social life, personal time, freedom of speech, integrity, sleep, job satisfaction, and most importantly something I hold so dear.

But if not for my living hell, I may not have embarked on this LM journey. I needed an outlet, I needed to vent my frustrations, I needed a new challenge and I needed a passion. LM reignited that little spark into me and gave me something to look forward to.

New releases, quarterly workshops, filmings, self-improvement.

As I embark on my new journey, I will remember the lessons learnt and the experience. Some experiences are just too painful for me to take risks again, at least not for the Cancerians. Once bitten, twice shy.

I just wonder what lies ahead for me.

The end of one chapter is just the beginning of another. May you find back the things you once had, and much more.

A missed scene from "Forrest Gump"

Mom: Forrest, you know, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

Little Forrest: Momma, then can I choose the flavors that I like, and put them in the box first?
