How long do you need to live to finally learn that life is not as simple as the story your parents read for you before you sleep. How far do you need to go to finally see that "the world" you live in is a tiny fracture in a big "One world" full of differences. How deep do you need to dig to find out that life is not always about black and white. How..
As someone who is in her thirties, I've learned it the hard way. So much time, effort, and finance were sacrificed during the fight. So many people were hurt and pushed aside to make one's dream true.
One time, my close friend told me that isn't it impossible to make everyone's dream come true. There must be someone's dream which is needed to be put on hold or not made true at all. As believers, most of us who believe in the power of prayers have a firm believe that everything is possible.
A friend, one decade younger than me has been in a messy mind. She felt like her anchor wasn't at stage. She's lost. As usual, I truly know that I have that part in me that can motivate people in one single sentence, let alone one hour meeting. I told her something I never taught I would tell someone. Long story short, this evening, I looked through my old documents. I came across a simple line I wrote when I was in high school, 16 dear years ago, oh my, I have goosebumps. I wrote my simple wish on a single waste paper given by my friend. Simple lines that had me cry this whole night.
"I hope I can speak English well. I can hold the world in my hand. I hope I can speak English with all of kind Englis language such as British, American, Australi"
Yup, with all errors and grammatical mistakes, that was the 16-yo me. Hey, Mon. Just 5 years after that at the age of 21, you made it to USA, United States of America! You never dreamed of this, didn't you!? You didn't even have that courage. Then, when you were 28, you had your first step in Australia and you lived there for the good 2 years.
You have no idea how much mistakes you would make, how many people you would meet and lost at the same time. Time tells... You are on your own! If you want something, then work your hardest! Give your best shot!
No dreams have gone wasted...
