Adventure Into The Unknown

The Quest.
★★★

Since I was a child, I've had the craving to always know the truth about everything. So I appeared rude to people when I asked “why” about everything. When I was given instructions, I asked why — and it led to several beatings and slaps. I was Mom's favourite then. 😅

Since then, I went back into my shell. I became timid, shy, and less confident in who I am. Although I was intelligent, I had no confidence to express what I knew. I became part of the furniture in the house. 😅

It was either I was in the room or quietly sitting beside a chair where no one would notice me. Thinking? I don’t know if I was truly thinking. But I knew I wasn’t social, and nothing seemed funny enough to make me laugh. I became rude again — not by words, but by silence, because I wouldn’t respond when people spoke to me.

How else can we satisfy people? 😑

I had a desire. A passion.

To be strong. To be heard.

That my voice must be heard. But where I was, there was nothing to make that possible. Only then did I realize I had passion and desire — but no purpose.

So I began to ask myself the same question that once made me seem rude: Why do you want to be heard?

That question became the same one I ask anyone who speaks to me about their dreams and passions. Some stay when they find their answers. Some leave when they don’t.

It took me a while to answer that question. I began to examine the things I do and learn — to see if they align with my desires and passions.

Then I discovered:

“Life could be a book of fantasy — a story where characters journey into the unknown, waking up to tomorrows they never expected, hearing news that is always new. Yet, every character has rules and guidelines guiding them through the unknown.”

So every project and decision I began to take was first taken to the “Why Room” — until it made sense and I was confident enough to defend it.

This is the lesson I learned: Before you make a decision — about a project or anything — consult the “Why Room”. Because when cloudy days come, your “why” will be the sun — your fuel, your confidence, lighting up your darkest moments.

“I Am Everything I've Learnt — And More.”
