Another Start

I’ve begun to move my things to a new place. Somewhere considerably far from my current place. Needless to say, to someone who is as directionally-challenged as me, I’m expecting great difficulties remembering the roads since I’m not familiar at all with the roads there. Having lived here so long, I rarely ever step foot there, and even when I did, I don’t remember the directions at all.

In a way, I’m slightly eager to move to the new place but at the same time, I am reluctant to leave here. It has been almost 5 years now. This is where I practically grew up, in many ways. In these five years, I’ve had great times as well as terrible moments. I’ve made great friends, went to awesome places, did fun stuff… in short – I lived a life here. I’m reluctant to move because it is more than just a physical change. It will undoubtedly mark a new chapter in my journey to conquer the world in life.

I’ve been here for quite some time. Really.

Notice the highway?

I suppose this is meant to serve as a reminder, that I’m not supposed to get too comfortable with what I have. Everything, regardless what they are and what you think they are, will change sooner or later. Since change will happen sooner or later, what better time to face it than the new year?

I made a sacrifice for this change. I will only realise the true cost when I’m well down the path I’ve chosen and by then it will be too late to regret – that is if I truly regret the path I’ve chosen. But then again, what choices that we make in life that are any less risky? We can never have everything, sometimes not even anything. I am glad I was given good opportunities and to say the least, I didn’t want to waste them.

But as with all life’s journeys, having a good start means practically nothing and will in no way guarantee success in any form. I personally attest to that. Life is like a maze. You never know when you’ll come across a dead-end, or where the exit point really is. Although some may argue that the only exit is Death. When you do meet a dead-end, you simply or turn around, backtrack and take the other path. Or sit and rot. Which is not really a choice.

The transition is rough. I’ll be needing some grease.
