Everything is Not as it Seems


Have you ever wanted something so bad that you feel that you will do anything and everything just to get it? I have, or should I say I had. I wanted this "thing" so bad the moment I heard and learned about it. I tried my best just to have it, I spent nights learning things that are relevant for that matter. I competed against myself, and outdid myself eventually.

It culminated yesterday, I got that "thing" that I've been dreaming of for weeks. And I've never been disappointed in my whole life. This "thing" that I thought was everything... well it wasn't. It's not everything I thought it would be, not remotely close. And today, I've decided to let go of it. Not that I don't want any challenges, I overcame many just to lead to this day. But it all dawned on me that it isn't worth it.

I don't have regrets doing what I did, because I'm a believer of "everything happens for a reason". I just learned that even our biggest dreams aren't flawless. Fulfilling a dream doesn't guarantee happiness. Sometimes maybe oftentimes, it's just all about the hype. We are blinded by our wanting to fulfill that dream so bad so that we can prove to ourselves that we can do anything that we wanted.

Lesson learned.. Moving on...

Have a good day everyone!
