Life

Life is complicated as it is, sometimes the complication is added by things that are unpredictable, a no string attached relationship may sound haven but there also excess baggage, friends with benefit are all over us, whether we realize it or not. Sometimes we turn a blind eye because for us we are doing the right thing in helping our friends but in the end we are the one having to bear the heartache, what about having skeletons in the closet? I often tried my best to be there for my students, for them to confide, for them to tell their story, for them to be heard, I know the feeling of unable to think straight and crack under peer pressure, choosing the wrong friends, and making mistake. I choose not to burden my family with my problems when I was studying; I worked to earn some extra money, for books and so on. My dad taught us that nothing in this world comes for free, if you want something so bad, work for it, and be proud your achievement. 

I am doing the same with my students showing them that, even though they are learning in private institution they have an equal fighting change for a good education and a good life, everything is based solely on making the right choice. I became who I am with the choices I made, I made mistake, I am still paying for it now, but I know I will survive. 

Believe it or not, having someone in our life, the one we can talk to, the one we can confide, makes that journey a bearable one. It can be a friend, it can be family and it can also be a love one.
