"Hanggang diyan ka na lang ba?"
Probably, this is the most striking question I met my entire life. It is more striking than my former suitor's "I love you, do you love me too?"
This question leaves a never ending echo in me. Everyday I wake up I remember this question. I could no longer remember who asked me this but I still remember every word he/ she asked. Perhaps, they are many who asked and even I, myself asks me this question at times. The good thing is somehow, this is the reason why everyday I got the drive to excel in my chosen field.
I spent more than two years in my workplace thinking that I'm in a good shape to face the real world. I am happy and I am already contented with where I am. But not only one person asked me if I have other plans aside from pursuing my career in nursing and echo technology. Actually, I have so many plans but I think it's too early to start all those. I haven't spent enough time with my family yet since I went to college. But there are times that I also think, my parents will grow old whether I stay with them or not and therefore I should start my journey towards my dreams the earliest. After all, I know they would be glad if they know I'm exploring things for my own growth.
As of now, I don't think I should really be pressured by some of the people who think I should already take my masters or enroll to med school or law school. There are so many opportunities but what I'm looking for is not what would bring me to the pedestal but what would make me feel genuinely happy. After my college graduation I just felt that it's more difficult to find myself than becoming an RN.
I know Luffy of One Piece has traveled a lot already along with his friends. But somehow, I think he's luckier than me at some point because even if he journeys a lot at least he knows what he's looking for unlike me who's always lost.
Despite that, I am not discouraged. I know that others are just as doubtful as I am. I shouldn't drown myself with worrying and over thinking. Someday, I'll find the right path for a brighter future. For now, I have to search first what brighter future means to me. Because we all have our own meaning of success.
