Redirecting Life

Friends who know me said I was always too good, I tend to settle with what was available, too shy to speak up what I need, most of the time compromise so that others will be at ease.

Just like what I learned and practice in my profession, everything has limits. If the value goes beyond the limit, disaster might happen: equipment will be broken, water will be polluted, motors will trip, instruments will malfunction and many more. 

I might have reached that point. One day I woke up and questioned myself what am I really doing with my life? I am 25, stuck in a job I thought I will love forever, doing the same thing for the past years without even thinking what would really make me happy.

I am in the process of rediscovering myself, what I really want to be 5-10 years from now, what are my likes, my interests, my hobbies. Let's just say I am living each day now trying to figure out slowly who I am as a daughter, friend, employee or even acquaintance. Maybe, just maybe, it is when I know exactly what I really want that I will become genuinely happy. 

So I am taking baby steps, exploring other career options that will definitely suit my personality and lifestyle. I am searching for the one that I could look forward to be doing in the long run, one that will let me commit and give my all. I want to relearn who I am. I always had been passionate with volleyball, but that was gone a long time ago, I want to rekindle the fire I have towards sports. I want to try dancing again. I want to get involved again in community service, to volunteer in a non-profit organizations. I want to have time and budget to travel and explore the world and discover the cultures of other countries.

I want to prove to myself that I can make it through with whatever life has to offer. People come and go, some might even pissed you off infinitely, but what is important is that I could still be standing despite how many rotten tomatoes they throw to me. I want to find the strength to learn when to say No to somebody, I want to be courageous enough to decide and be firm with what I really want.

Changing something overnight cannot happen, but starting to redirect my life's path will be a great start to finding true happiness. I hope one day, I could attain that.
