In the ordinary world that I wander in, one lives a meaningful life if one excelled in school, got a university degree then a high paying job, found a nice boy and marry him, have babies and devote the rest of your life to them. Because we were programmed (brainwashed?) with this thought ever since childhood, it’s natural that this was the life itinerary I had. But as is life, it has its own agenda. The road to my world’s eden didn’t happen as planned. Somewhere along the way I woke up.
While my limbs were never tied, my mind was bound with perpetual guilt and ocean of inhibitions. I understand it was their way of being protective so I am not really bitter. But the moment the spell was broken, I began to see with a pair of new goggles and I grasped for breath. I discovered that the world is vast and life has infinite possibilities! I became different from the people around me. I developed new passions and friends. I wish I was exposed to this earlier. But I am who I am because of who I was. I’ve always been a fast learner, so I will catch up!
This is my quest for an extraordinary life.
