In The Beginning
In the beginning, there was a girl.
Welll.... not quite a girl, certainly a woman. Someone who is on the wrong side of 30, in fact.
She had many ideals and cherished hopes, but after 8 years of working, she was rudely woken up to the sad reality that some of these cherished ideals do work, others ... nah.
Perhaps, in the pursuit of doing what is right or what to her is principled, she received in turn, a few nasty blows and setbacks.
But she never stopped believing in doing what she thinks is right and true, although she feared deeply that she is slowly losing her grip in the morass that was her workplace. Perhaps, what was more detrimental, she feared she was losing her faith in what ought to be right and wrong, her heart was aching, her mind was troubled, her soul, parched.
Until one day, she suffered a grievious personal loss. One that shook her to the core of her being.
She was surprised at the turn of events that followed and the people that she met. How God slowly but surely began to part the curtains of doubt to lead her step by step through the fogs.
For when the fogs and mists lifted up, then could she see what is the path that she had trodden so far. She still did not see clearly what is her path now. But she is now more confident and sure that she will not sit back placidly and take any nonsense or endure any cesspool willingly.
This is her story of what happened during her month-long trip to self-discovery.
