Investments

Today was beautiful, although nerve wrecking for me considering I had to cram for my learner's permit. I was actually scared to my wits that I wanted to cancel on taking the exam. Good thing the husband did not allow me, I passed anyway! So there.

As I've mentioned HKU merits another story... I pursued my graduate studies and came out a different person. My world was bigger and some things did not seem to matter. It was like my "coming of age". I've had several anxiety attacks to deal with. There were a lot of soul searching, fun, and some lovin'!

But this isn't about my graduate studies. It's about what I thought was a beautiful discourse between friends after dinner tonight. I am at awe at how meshed our lives are despite the differences. We all want to become better version of ourselves, and we all want to pursue the things that we love most (if we figure it out). We invest our lives into something and someone hoping it will give us the 'satisfaction'. We discern for ourselves, we make bold moves, and do that leap of faith.

Yes, faith. How much do you have? Are you confident that tomorrow will take care of itself? Well I am not honestly. As much as I want to be chirpy about it, I think we are responsible for the sum of all our choices. The life we have now is the fruit of our hard labor or recklessness. We are given talents to make use of and not to waste. We are given free will not to follow what others want for us. We are given mouths so we speak the truth about ourselves and not about others. We are given hearts to pursue love and not to envy what others have. That's just me.

I hope tomorrow will be fine. All these uncertainties can really make me temperamental. May I be calm, and sail through the wind without fighting it.
