If given a choice....

A friend of mine told me that alot of people worked equally hard as me but not that lucky to be recognised by their superior for the hard work and talent. Even though I moved out of my field and enter a totally different field, I was able to be ranked among the top. Most people dread changes, especially in their career. Starting all over again learning new things and worst of all to be good in it. I managed to attain the post others took years to reach within months and the salary my peers yearn to have. But do they know what I've gone through all these while?? I've never planned for all these to happen. It all begin when I lost J..... The day I lost her, I lost the drive to work and couple of months later I prepared to tender my resignation. I wanted to start afresh somewhere new then boom.. I was promoted. After which, I spent every day working and working. I worked almost 24hrs a day because I am afraid to be alone... I have no friends, I was like a zombie.... I refused to talk much and I didn't see daylight for a long time. I left for work at 5am and knock off after 10pm follow by drinking till I dropped or worked through the night. I would cry or laugh without a reason.

In fact, I envy everyone of you out there. You have your love ones by your side be it good or bad. Life isn't just about bread and butter, money and status are just superficial. So what if I am highly look upon at work, how long will all these last before someone even better replace me the way I replaced others.

Dear friends, cherish whom you have right before you. No one can turn back time and undo the wrong. If I am given the choice, I would not hesitate to give up everything to be with the one I love. I would rather live a simple life and spend every minute possible together. For those of you who have not realised, it time to stop and do some soul searching. Think of your love ones waiting for you at home, caring for you. Don't wait till you lost it before you are sorry.
