Thought-provoking | Go to post ➜

Let's say you know this person...

She's really nothing much more than ordinary and average, yet she believes and holds on to the thought that one day she can achieve great things. Along the way, she meets up with many setbacks and tells herself that nothing is bigger than the obstacle that she faced 12 years ago. She keeps striving, pushing and improving. However, this positivity does not last for long. Soon after she got promoted to a higher institution, everything just began to fall outta place. She scored well/good in class tests, yet in major exams, she just couldn't get anything better than a 'B'. Yes, a stinky old B.

Back in the ol'days of secondary institution, she got pretty involved in something also known as the council or constitution of the student body in school. She was able to emerge victorious, achieving and excelling towards greated goals and aims. She believed that if there was passion, desire and action, one will definitely be able to reach their desired outcomes. Easy for her to say. Now, she's left with nothing more than... Well, nothing. The worst part is that she knows and even those around her, told her that it's not due to the fact that she is lousy but because there are many other things that should be place in higher priority as of now.

No matter how hard she tries to avoid the thoughts, they just keep surfacing in her minds. She was suppose to stand infront, standing tall and proud. Yet now, she's just someone diminished and of nothing. She did prepare herself for this as she knew that education and studies was more important, but I guess her sentimental side just took over when she heard, "It's really our loss, not having you in the Exco." She broke down into tears and was left to run and hide from reality.

What bugs her the most is that it's something that was there, waiting for her to grab. She could already feel it and she could reach it, but she just couldn't hold it. She didn't even have the choice to say, "NO!" All that is left is for her to carry on the decisions made by others.

She doesn't blame anyone/anything because during the period where she was preparing, she told herself that maybe this wasn't meant to be. The significance of a role didn't matter as much as it used to, back in the good ol'days. Maybe, it's for the better- studies of course. Nonetheless, come what may, she promises to uphold her promise for this passion. Afterall, it's self-satisfaction that counts (after seeing the smiles on faces of those you've impacted) and not the superficial position awarded.

All in all, what's worst.

1) Not being able to achieve what you initially wanted?

OR

2) Knowing that you're able to achieve it yet you can't because of other restrictions?

So close, yet so so so far away.

Till then, xoxo.
