: bits of life :

I am here partly because she asked me why i don't update my blog more often. And she visits my blog like once in a millennium.

I went for the interview after work on my first day with h. Confident then that I knew that I wanted to move over, now three weeks into my job with h i am reluctant. I enjoy myself here, i truly do. i am given the independence and the responsibility, yet i am offered ample opportunity to learn. They are good people over there. Good, good people.

I woke up this morning in a good mood. Maybe for once, i finally had a dreamless sleep. I felt good about telling her today, it felt right. And so i did. What she said to it made me sure that i'm heading in the right direction. I never thought i would really be a writer. I never thought that a hobby of mine could put bread on the table. I never even gave it a thought. I dreamt, maybe. But here i am, presented with 4 different opportunities as a writer. This was what i've been into since i was a kid. Apart from being forced to wanting to be a doctor, of course.

there are a pile of degree holders out there who don't have jobs. i have but a diploma, and i owe my opportunities to Him.

So much has happened in the last month or so. I can't believe that at 22, i'm buying a property with bro. Ironic that we're buying it at the worst time in our lives financially - to save them from further financial burden.

They aren't too happy about my decision to give up my education. But do they understand that I'm giving it up for them...?

We haven't been this close in all my 22 years. For the first time, i'm seeing something beyond his sarcasm and his farts. I see now how much he cares. I understand now why he left. God is fair. He knew they will be taken away from me emotionally, and He put him here for me.

"i'm trying to keep tf together..."

Thank you, the both of you. I appreciate every single thing. I'm sure somewhere deep inside, they do too.

Do I?

Don't you think that this job is below you?

Are you sure you're only 22?

We're certain that you can do it. But do you want to?

Wow. That's a first.

Unfortunately, it mirrored my exact thoughts...

Due to uncertainty on both sides, I'm gonna contribute as a writer starting 7-11 and see how it works out after a couple of weeks.

you said you wanted to be a writer. well, here you go. be happy.
