Around this time last year, my friend Lal sent me this quote by Joseph Campbell - "Follow your bliss & the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls". It has been one year since I packed all my damn lawbooks & cases. I wanted to be finally honest with myself that I cannot do it (for now) which really translated to I cannot do it (period)! I gave myself a chance to do what I wanted to do. After one year, I've realized I think I made the right choice. I've never been happier in my life. For the first time in my life, I'm doing things my way. It was a whole lot of drama reaching this point where I am right now yet I am still grateful.

From the time I left lawschool I accomplished many things - built my portfoilio, spent 2 weeks with my bestfriend in the US, got a retail job, etc. It wasn't so bad after all. These days I think I'm better in terms of how I'm feeling in general. There were nights before that my tears lulled me to sleep. Maybe my lawbooks weren't so lucky bcos each night they had teardrops. I didn't want to go to lawschool but I equally hated the drama if I didn't enrol. So I gave up 2 years of my freedom for someone who didn't even value me. It was bullshit.

Finally last June 2008, I declared my own independence. From that moment to this moment, it was worth fighting for. Now I am free.
