time can tell.... − 5 May, 2007
i once shared that i am at the crossroad in my life. at the age of 26 i am starting to really think of where i should be. it may be very cliche-ic to say that i am not getting any younger. this can be a result of my observations of what has been happening around me. just learning about the successes of my counterparts / classmates from college, it makes me realize that i haven't reached anything significant in my life yet.
at the same time, this realization is also triggered by my mom's constant reminders of what i should be doing with my life. 2/3 of my family is now based in the US. it is only me and my brother, who's finishing his nursing studies, are based in my country. eventually, my brother will leave and join my family in a "greener pasture." I will be left here alone. i really don't mind..
but i keep on thinking what will i do next. although i am sure that i'm not the only one experiencing this kind of dilemma. i met up with my mentor and i was surprised to know that he's also in the same situation but different context. it's actually relief to know that i am not alone....
hay... but thinking about it... i have to do something in order to be out of this situation... i may not know now... but time can tell. i just hope by this year i'd know....

You are not alone! I am having a bit of a 1/4 life crisis. I just got a new job, but I feel like I am no where near where I thought I would be!
