The Secret Life of Angela Rose

This has been dragged on way longer than I expected. I did myself a favor and I've given up on my hopes and expectations long ago. A friend of mine recently put me on the spot. He said, "Maybe the reason why you wanted to leave so badly is not because you needed to. It was because you wanted to. You wanted to runaway. But Ange, it doesn't work that way." I hate to admit but he was right. I was obsessed with wanting to get out of here that I managed to brainwash myself to thinking that "leaving Singapore would be great for my future". When I found out I wasn't leaving, I was really disappointed. In fact, I was really disappointed for a very long period of time. Strange thing was, I couldn't figure out why I was so disappointed.

Change of plans isn't always a bad thing. It kind of directs you to things that you need to handle first. More important things to be exact. It doesn't necessarily have to lead to disappointments because life always has other options. So what if Plan A never worked? Make do with whatever you have and you may never know that Plan B is way better than Plan A to begin with. 

Hardship is hard. But God helps those who help themselves. I never liked the quote "everything happens for a reason". I always thought that it was just a pathetic form of consolation for making bad choices. Perhaps I underestimated this quote and everything does happen for a reason. It's how you handle the situation afterwards that counts.

I'm gonna make every second count. 

With hard work, comes great perseverance.
