Sabbatical

Three weeks. Of traveling, meeting new people, forging new relationships. Three weeks that will test my patience, my power of endurance and my ability to stay true to my beliefs. Maybe i will emerge a stronger person or end up broken. Whichever way it ends, i hope i will have the strength to accept whatever life throws at me. i am scared …But what is life if you cannot face your fears? i love to believe that i am strong enough to face my fears and overcome them. Let me see whether i can prove myself right.

In a way, i am paying the price for the choices i have made in life. i know i could have turned around and walked away. But if there is a thing i have believed in, it is that i should never flinch from accepting the price of my choices. i have made bad choices, i have made good choices. i don’t subscribe to the concept of god, that i would be rewarded or punished after i am dead. Whatever happiness and sadness i have to go through; i want it when i am alive.

So, life, here i am.
