my greatest mistake in my life (at the age of 22) is the rash senseless decision about 6 years ago to leave singapore for usa. my life was good but never did i realise it. when plans to leave started to materialise then, i begin to see how much my heart wasnt ready even though my mind was. goodbyes are the hardest things in life, at least to me... i said goodbyes to my family, boyfriend of 2 months, and lots of my friends. it was like kissing my whole old life away...
4 months then passed by in the snap of my fingers, strong emotions welled up in me. i fought internally and externally to get back to my old life. I went through many obstacles and thought that i could bear all the consequences no matter what. as long as i get back to my old life. i never thought that life can be so cruel and harsh. i was a myopic individual blinded by impulsive emotions. funny thing about life: in the fight for my old life back, i started a new one and i somehow hate it too. it's just not the same as the old one.
i had to make the same mistake two times before i finally realised. same mistakes and six years wasted. i still have a long way to go as im only 22 so i hope it's not too late to learn.
"what cant kill you will only make you stronger!" i genuinely want to get back on my feet again and hopefully this time i will not make the same mistake again...
