The sound,wise man

His name is Alexander Stevenson D’netto. The name Alex means Defender of Men, and always heard, Alexander the Great. Indeed, he is a great man. One whom I turn to for advices, a man who speak the wise, listen attentively and make you think hard.

He asked me if going home would make me happy.

He asked me if going home is what I really want.

He then also asked me if going home will make me miss what I think I could have achieved here.

He proceeded in asking me do I miss any progression of work at home.

To which all first three I answered Yes, and the latter No.

‘Fairly obvious. You already know what you want.’ He said.

‘But there is nothing for me to be here anymore. There is no reason to why I want to stay here for, at least not anymore‘ I responded.

‘If there isn’t, you will not miss being here and what you think you can achieve if say you do stay here. There is something for you now – your career, work. Maybe not friends, maybe not family, maybe not a boyfriend – but work‘ He answered.

My mind took a little wander, and I knew what he said was right. I have always, always wanted to stay here eversince I decided to work here. I have always wanted a bright future. I should not, ever, ever let my dream falter over a silly phase.

It is just because I have always had things thrown into for me, always had something laid out for me. This is just a turmoil, a path that I have to walk. And I believe, if I do try a little harder, breathe a little stronger, I will get through

After all, my name is Chee Lim and I’m known for being the determined, strong, ambitious girl.
