Bachelor of Science in Biology. Swell! What was I thinking, majoring in that field when all I ever loved about it was the roll of organisms’ scientific names in my tongue, being Latin… now, that’s Languages. The course was way off the road to the career I want so much to pursue.
It is never too late to change course and find the right track. When you spent most of your life eye-ing something far out of your reach, you will eventually get there. Time and money-wise, I still cannot afford the formal study. I am a poor earthling, sweetie, but richly blessed. The One-Up-There keeps dropping angels on my big lap. Angels bearing on-the-job-training for me; presenting me huge opportunities to hone my skills in the profession I want to be in. My writing tools are ready; the ones Ms lovelydia suggested are on my toplist to purchase next.

*There was a man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get it out of the water but it stung him again. Another man told him to stop saving the scorpion but he said, “It’s the nature of the scorpion to sting. It’s my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it’s the scorpion’s nature to sting?” MORAL: Don’t give up loving. Don’t give up your goodness even if the people around you stings.*
The message above was forwarded to me by my dearest friend, sometime after my utter defiance of her order to let go of the two people I love who was causing me pain at the time…my mother and my partner. It’s probably my friend’s way of acquiescing_ knowing my bull-headedness, her way of finally giving her approval since she’s very much against my partner. Nobody’s opinion can intimidate me on how I should be feeling. I am inside my head and heart. I know when to hold on or let go.
Love sometimes stings. Pain is a part of loving. Words and actions can sting. We say or do things which can hurt the other without even meaning to. When you’re stung, do not focus on the hurt. Look beyond your pain. Knowing the loved one well will help you understand why he do the things he do. He could be suffering, too. The parts of us where we tend to deviate from love are not our defects but our wounds. Keep an open mind and an open heart. Keep holding on.
