Of One Life

Have you ever wondered how your life would have turned out if you have traveled on a different path in this journey called Life?
Like ...
What if I have studied photography instead of boring accounting?
What if I have choose not to reject his/her love?
What if I haven't been that grumpy in that interview?

All these what ifs.

As one Ami puts it ... It is one of those things that no matter how much you dwell on it, it ain't gonna change. But it is one of those things that keep popping into our head from time to time.

Of course, there are things you wonder but you could never change ... like ...
What if you were born to Bill Gates?

Those are more of fantasies rather than wondering.
Wondering are things ... that technically speaking, you could have been in control of.
Something that you could have made a choice of ... and somehow, you have made it differently.
Would it have been better if you have taken the other road?
You look at others .. and you think about their life. You wonder whether you would be living that kind of life, if you have made your choice differently.

Sometimes I wonder ...
But in the end, it is still a wondering.

Because in the end ...I am here.Now.
I graduated with a Finance/Accounting and Actuarial Science degree.Not the most exciting job ever ... compared to James Bond or Jason Bourne.Actually .. scratch Jason Bourne.He doesn't have a job.
I am the person who at 16 years old ... didn't know I would turn out to be right here ... right now.
But at this moment, I also know that .. in 10 years more time, I won't know where I would turn out to be.

There is only one life to live. One.
Live it.
