Choices

At 34, at this moment, right here and now, it just dawned on me that life is about coming to terms with ourselves.

The choices we made in the past, the consequences we have to live with today, the choices today, and the willingness to live with it tomorrow.

At 34, I have to accept that ultimately, there is no right or wrong choices per se, it is more about being authentic and true to ourselves; having the guts to stick we what we really want rather than what others deem right.

It will be all good and great if what we do and what we belief in is in align but what if it's not?

At 34, it is a darn hard realisation to respect individuals who make what is the wrong decision, but have what it takes to stick to it, and own it, and live life in their own terms rather than what others would like to impose on them.

This in itself, isn't it, genuine and honest?

At 34, I have been twice betrayed by my husband who maintain an illicit relationship with this girl for two years.

Once, I found out and were lied to by both that things had stopped.

The second time, was an expose by the third party.

At 34, I am finally only learning life's hardest lesson, but is so essential for me to continue to live a full, if not fuller life from this point onwards: the courage to face myself, and to own this life that comes with it all the powder and puffs, the dirts and pitfalls...

And through it all, summon the energy and strength from within to make things good for myself and the ones I love with my life.
