It's greener over this side..

If there is such a thing as a “work birthday”, I’ll be turning one next month. It’s been that long already since I was introduced to the REAL real world. I’m still not sure which one is better or should I say worst, school or work. I still can’t decide on that one yet. Work would probably be better than school if only I wasn’t as clueless as I am now with my career. One minute I want to be in the corporate world. Next minute I want to be an entrepreneur. Who knows maybe next week I’d want to be a zookeeper or something?! Layo ata nun…Hehe

I used to want to study abroad. And since the plan didn’t materialize, I now want to work abroad instead. And with the current situation in the country, there are a lot of people who have the same plan as I do. More opportunities for a better life they say. We always think “it’s greener on the other side”. But thinking about it now, I don’t think I’d still find satisfaction or peace of mind even if I go abroad. I’m most definitely sure when I do get to my destination or wherever, it’ll be another “it’s greener on the other side” episode again.

I should just be grateful for what I have now. If I let myself be ruled by this kind of mentality then I will never be truly happy. It isn't that bad anyway. It’s actually more than, greater than, to the highest nth exponential okay. It’s all a matter of perspective really. Why go to the other side of the fence when I can actually fix my side and make it better? And who says it’s greener on the other side when I’ve thicker and greener grass on my side? I’ll even plant flowers on it just so it’ll not only be greener but more colorful as well. Happiness is not found in things or in places; that kind of happiness is usually of the fleeting kind. It'll last only as long as it takes to have another mid-year or end-of-season sale. That fast! Happiness is a personal choice. I don’t have to postpone it. I can be happy if I choose and want to be happy wherever, whenever, and whatever the circumstances may be.
