we have been running away from an issue for a long time.
at some point in time, we felt a pressing need to deal with it.
until a shifu told us to let nature take its course.
and we were more than happy to continue avoiding the issue.
lately, the issue was discussed again.
doesn’t seem like there is any improvement.
we dunno what to do about it.
but we know time is slowly but surely running out.
another shifu once advised: parents bring us to this world. but it is us ourselves who will lead the rest of our lives together.
sounds logical. but filial piety remains strong in our values.
so how?
make a decision to end the issue?
make a decision to ignore the issue?
make a decision to overcome the issue?
if the decision was simple to make, it wouldn’t have dragged for half a decade.
so, what is the conclusion, for now?
i said, as long as we are clear with our priorities, we will know what to do when the time comes.
until then, live today like there is no tomorrow, one day at a time.
to dearest: one of these days, my deepest dream will come true, as long as you do not forsake me.
to frens: one of these days, you will share my joy, as long as you stand by me.
to myself: one of these days, i will be rewarded, as long as i do not give up. and i believe.
