Your Decision? or Mine?
If you were given a chance to settle down in 1 place in this world, where would it be? is it going to be Africa? Gobi desert? Ethopia? Pakistan? Greenland? China? Australia? or Singapore? a tough question, but something to ponder about.

i am at life's crossroads. it is always at such junction in life when ppl have to make hard decisions. decisions that will steer their life in a certain direction. decisions that will make major changes to one's life. such personal decisions should be made on one's accord.

one shouldn't feel compelled or controlled by certain authority to make such decisions. and one shouldn't make a decision for another person's sake. should he marry her because her mum requested him to? should an unwed pregnant mum abort her child because premarital sex is a social taboo? should one migrate to another part of the world for another person's sake? no, it's a decision that one has to decide for oneself. ppl around may make comments, contribute opinions or give advise. be it a good or bad choice made at the end of the day, it's a personal choice afterall. no one can despise, no one can judge.

once a decision is made, don't look back. sometimes we may look back at our lives and ask: what could have happened if we chose another way? would we be leading a happier life? nobody knows. it's not for us to question of things unknown. cos the more we question, the more we may regret the decisions we made in the past. why should we look back? why not look ahead?

in the midst of such awful decision making dilemmas, i'm hopeful that there's a bright future ahead. i'm looking forward to better life.
