Everyone has instances in our lives wherein we need to make a special decision. There's a point where we'll utter to ourselves, 'Will I do this, or not?' It's facile to choose, but the fear triggering inside you makes it difficult and challenging. You may not know what to choose because you're not aware which is the best thing to be chosen.
In my experiences, I've gone through a situation wherein I need to make an inevitable decision.I have to choose if I'll continue studying high school in Cavite with my grandma, or if I'll transfer in Makati with my family. It felt so hard for me in choosing the right thing to do. I do not know if I'll live in Makati, make new friends, and have a new environment, or stay in the town where I grew up and where I spent my childhood days. It's hard for me to decide because I don't know which was the rightest thing to choose. I asked so many questions to myself. Is it better to stay where I have lived since I was a child? Will I go with my family which wasn't given a chance to know who I really am. My grandma's begging me not to leave her, but my dad's forcing me to leave. Both of them are important to me, so I don't want any of them to feel pain. I want to stay here in Cavite because I don't want to leave my grandma and I want to study in CavSci, but I also want to live in Makati so that I can spend my free time with my beloved family. It really confused me a lot. When I was thinking about it, I thought of my grandma. She's weak and too old to be hurt. She loves me so much. I can see her sincerity and affection right through her melancholy eyes. Right after my realization, I told it to my dad and he understood me. He said that if he was in my shoes, he'll make the same decision. The fearfulness and worries inside me were released. That moment, I realized that I made the right decision. I know that I could still spend more time with my family when I am in college, so I chose my grandma. I just want to grant her simple wish from me.
I do not regret anything with the choice I made. One of my dreams was fulfilled. I was able to study in CavSci and to gain more friends. I was also able to spend more time with my loving grandma. The emptiness inside was filled with happiness. I tried to fulfill the love my dad was asking for me. I showed him that though we're not together, I still love him so much. At that time, I was able to realize that quote 'To be, or not to be' means it's now or never. You need to decide or you will earn nothing.
