Back to Square One

After an almost three-week long hiatus, I am back with an enthusiasm that I think I have never known of before.

I guess the last three weeks were enough to finally put the past to its grave.

Yes, that's right. I'm now ready to move forward and start anew. 

There is no doubt in my mind that what I have been through was definitely a first for me and is certainly on my top list of the toughest things I have encountered in the entire 21 years of my existence. Hell, it was even dreadful than the July Integrated Comprehensive Nursing Licensure Examination horror last year. But then again, although battle-scarred, I managed to survive with not only my principles and sanity intact, but with an extra shield of strength, courage and wisdom.

To fall from a setback and be frustrated by your own stupidity actually has a lot of perks than its negative counterpart. Imagine having to lose 10 lbs in just a week without undergoing that sweaty and tiresome workout. Or that moment when you’re just so exhausted at looking hideous and at feeling overly insecure that you finally craved for a change; to look at your best and to redeem yourself from melancholia. The lessons you've learned from your mistakes will not be negated too as well as the emergence of an updated version of yourself; a better, stronger and wiser upgrade.

I know whatever it is that happened is just the tip of an iceberg in this earthly occupation of mine. There will still be more wretched things that would go my way; a far cry from what I have dealt with in the past. There will still be numerous bumps, bruises, blows and wrong turns to come. One thing is for sure though, quitting is NOT AN OPTION. After all, there will always be a rainbow after the rain right?
