the road not taken

the road not taken...

i came back to tell them i am reconsidering their offer. about a month ago i passed the application process but when they told me the writer position for the Manila International Airport Authority is a full-time position, i hesitated, and eventually turned it down.

but this morning, i came back to tell them, i'm reconsidering the offer. i just need to know the details o fhte contract.

i am at this point in my life making bold decisions that can ultimately change the course of my future.

oh my God. it's so scary to choose. options, choices, decisions: it's so amazing how "yes" or "no" can turn your world upside down.

should i transfer to a new place? should i quit my current job? should i work abroad? should i pursue my MAster's degree at DLSU? should i drop DLSU and apply at UP instead? should i go out with this person? should i go to the gym this afternoon? should i not show up at work tonight?

should i, or should i not? to be or not to be. in a way, i'm hamlet and i'm standing right in front of a crossroad. so, is it going to be yes or no?

the funny thing is, you can't say "maybe" to these questions. it's always yes or no. well, you can say to yourself "Not right now...i'll wait", but that's more like a "no" for an answer.

now the truth is, i want to mess up my hair, a little bit. it's always the same old hair, the same old look, the same old me. right now, i want to be reckless and turn my life around, 360 degrees, to see what's out there for me.

i pray to God for guidance, because i don't want to be overcome by this inner craving to do more with my life. i want to do more with my life. i don't want to be tied up in one place. there's got to be more to life than this.

let me just quote robert frost's take on this.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

somewhere, out there, lies my road not yet taken, where most of us dare not to travel. and i'm going to find it.

i've always loved this poem of robert frost. it takes great courage to take the road less traveled by.

A very good essay. This applies to all of us...each road we take, we live another behind. Let's
make the best of the roads we take in life...(",)
