An Alternate Life Dreamt

There is this sense of deja vu where I imagine a whole life completely different from what I have now if I was living in a place where it was what my country could have been.

The asian colleagues I met here made me feel like we perhaps could have much easily been friends working together. It was a familiarity and comraderie that I seemed to miss. Perhaps, it was a place that will allow me to be myself, instead of multiple versions of myself.

But I should be glad of what I have now, coz at least I'm happy where I am and the future looks bright.

I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Fate is only someone's excuse to not take responsiblity for their actions, and their reasons to not make their own choices.
Learning experiences shape what we can become, but it is us who choose what we want to become.
Life may not be the party we hoped for but we might as well dance.
