This is.....

Over the past few days, I made the biggest decision of my adult life. I decided to bite the bullet, and start on a path that dares me to be all that I can be.

I received an offer to work in a multinational company that I know very little about, but promises a lot of opportunities to travel, work in other parts of the world, and work in other fields besides finance. This opportunity requires me to pack up my life in KL and move to small town Miri.

The universe works in strange ways. One day after I got that offer, I was offered a promotion in my current company to work with a new division, in a new post that would be challenging, financially rewarding and fun. I would get to travel the region and eventually move on to another position in another location around Asia.

So there I was, torn between two choices. I had to choose between sliding into the known, or venturing into the unknown and giving up on that opportunity to travel and see South East Asia.

I have chosen to take my chances, and go with the unknown.
Now that I have, I finally feel at peace with me.

This is my shot at renewal. This is me, saying ‘damn you world, don’t tell me what I cannot do!’
This is me walking down the path that would lead me towards going back to university again, to study history, or political science, economics, or maybe even geography.

This is me, setting precedence for me to do something own my own and for myself.
This is my first step in becoming a global citizen, like I’ve always wanted to.

This is me, acknowledging that much as I love KL, my friends and my family; my mind and my spirit feels trapped here. Limited. That does not mean I love them any less.

Above all that, this is me leaving a part of me behind, and letting the other part of me grow in ways I never allowed it to grow.
