THERE WAS A TIME

by Allwin Bright

There was a time when life was simple. There was a time when clearing the XII boards was the only thing I was worried about. Then came the time where I thought all that I wanted in life was a job that paid me just enough to live.

I sit and wonder now. When did things get so complicated after that?

What do people mean when they say ‘Follow your heart’?

How do you know what your heart wants?

Why can’t I just be like everyone else? Be happy with what I have.

Is dreaming being too ambitious?

‘Do what you love, success will follow’  Is that a lie?

‘What are your plans for the future?’, ‘What do you want to do with your life?’ – Why do I feel that these are the most dreaded questions people ask me?
