Have you ever reached a point in your life where surprisingly everything is finally making sense? Well, 5 months ago, that happened to me.
Rewind.
A few years back, I had my first (and only haha!) heartbreak and damn was it hard. I didn't know how to pick up the little pieces that got lost along the way. My mom travelled with me in order for me to escape. I questioned God why it had to happen. Why of all people, me. He didn't answer.
Fast forward.
I was complaining about how hard my job was back home. I had to handle two positions after my partner from work retired from his job. Aside from that, I didn't quite like where I was at that moment in time. Everything seemed pointless. Nothing exciting or worth sharing happened to my life. All I did was complain to my parents on how badly I wanted to quit. But I didn't. Well, not yet.
Fast fast forward.
One night while scrolling through my Facebook page (Yup, bored.), I came across my friends' page and I wondered if he did push through with his plans on studying abroad. I tried to contact him and he said that he already quit his job and is currently processing his papers. I envied him. Not because he's going abroad. Mainly because he quit his job. I wanted something to happen to me and my oh so boring life so I asked him if he could show me the requirements for studying abroad. The next day, I talked to my mom about it. She talked to my dad about it and I tried completing the papers. I was praying for a breakthrough in my life.
Fast Fast Fast forward.
3 weeks later, I got to complete all the requirements. I was surprised how easy everything was. I was still working when I was in the process of completing the documents and the only time I had was lunch break. Miraculously enough, by God's grace, I was able to do it.
Now.
I packed my bags and left the country. I didn't get to finish my masters degree. I left every thing behind. But you know what? That was probably the best decision of my life. I felt.. free. I felt like every thing had to happen because God has greater plans for me. For my life. If I hadn't broken up with you know who, I wouldn't have the courage and determination to leave the country. If I didn't pray for something to happen to my career, then I wouldn't have had the motivation to change and move from where I was at that time.
I am happy now. Beyond happy actually. I met a lot of new people. I gained a lot of new friends. I'm beginning to understand who I am as a person. I somehow grew on other aspects of life. For one, I learned to clean up after myself, throw the trash and do my laundry. That's not something that I do back home and my parents would usually nag me into doing it but right now, nothing seems like a chore. I'm learning. Hurray! Haha. :)
All I'm saying is, it takes a whole lot of patience to wait. I can be very impatient. I tend to want to know the results right away. I used to question why certain things won't go my way but it doesn't work that way in real life. But through it all, there we will come to a point and say, "That's why".
Hope you enjoyed reading! Comments? :)
