The Story of My World

Born in a privileged family, I have traveled far and beyond. Pursuing education in three different countries, with a maybe fourth lurking around the corner. Always pushed to the limit and sometimes even further make me a stronger. Obediently following every words and wishes of those I hold dear in my life, I have always thought that it is what best for me. But now, I realized that I have become a puppet, and I allow it to happen. It took me a trip to the other half of the world to realize this. Always following every wishes and every suggestions have made me lose my own dreams and passions. Going to the USA, pursuing a career in hospitality and the culinary arts, do I really want to this all or did I do it to please the people I love? I can't even tell it apart anymore. I have worked hard to please them all, in exchange for a shady promise of freedom, but all I get is heartache. No more of this. I am breaking free. For once I want to do what my heart told me, and I want to chase my own dreams not someone else's.

Reach high and run for your dreams, my dear friend. A great dream is never easy to be achieved but that is the reason why it is great. Believe in yourself. You are always the owner of your own life--making your own and wise decisions and working harder to achieve what you want. Remember one thing that no matter how hard it is, you will always have people who love you and who will always stretch their hands when you are in need.
