Musings

Life seems to be going really fast for me now. Tomorrow morning I will embark on my bicycle and ride over the worli sea link and I'm super excited. Time flies. Indeed it does. I have lots of things planned for myself. It's been a fun trip...all in all, I've had the most tormented days in the beginning what with jet lag and all, but towards the end I just realised that I was exhausting my emotions on people and that getting embroiled in their problems and it started affecting me personally, I almost fell sick. But that was hazardous.

Not everything in life is rosy pink, but we tend to run and escape the atrocity of this brutal truth. Through our hobbies and that's the highlight of my trip, my cycling adventure which would last a mere 4 hours, but I hope it is totally worth it. Mom is teary eyed. It's terrible actually, because I know I will be away and that she would miss me incredibly. The two weeks wound up so fast, you wouldn't believe. In these two weeks, I learnt that when you use your brain when you should have used your heart, it could have been the biggest mistake you'd have committed. But then when I do realise that it is the first time, I made the right choice of thinking with my brain when my heart would have easily given in, and I would have accepted defeat. Mercilessly. But this has been my victory, I would like to believe that. I have a very exciting proposal lined up in front of me, it's going to be very tough. But it's going to be worth it. I know in my heart.

I have a sense of purpose, and I intend to follow it up thoroughly. Sometimes, sacrifice is all we need to do so that we can achieve what we really want. I think I've never really known the meaning of sacrifice. Maybe one day, I will. Maybe the time has come. To renounce all that I consider my own. Maybe it's time to let go of everything dear. It's time to be fearless.
