The Quest.
★★★ Since I was a child, I've had the cravings to always know the truth about everything. So I appeared rude to people when I ask the why of everything. When I am given instructions, I ask why and it has led to several beatings and slaps for me. I was Mom's favourite then. 😅 Since then I went back into my shell, I became timid, shy and less confident of who I am. Although, I was intelligent, but there was no confidence to show forth what I've gotten. I became part of the furniture of the house. 😅 It's either I'm in the room or I'm by the side of a chair where no one would notice me. Thinking? I know not if I was really thinking, but, I knew I was not social, and there's nothing funny that can make me laugh. And I became rude again because I don't reply to people when they talk with 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 of such to make me heard. Only then did I find out that I only had a passion and desire but had no purpose. So, then I began to ask myself the same question that made me rude to people. Why do you want to be heard? Why? And that question has been the question I ask everyone who talks to me about their dreams and Passions. Some stay when they have their answers and some leave when they can't get an answer.

The Question of why took me a while before I could answer it. And I started to check up on the things I do, learn, and see if it aligns with my desires and passions.

Then I found out “Life could be a Book of Fantasy, a book with characters journeying to where they don't know. Waking up to a tomorrow they don't expect, listening to a news that's new. And yet, each and every Character has their rules and guidelines guiding them on the pathway of the unknown.” So Every of the projects or decisions that I started taking next was taken to the “Why Room” until it makes sense and I am Confident enough to defend it. This is a lesson I learnt that before you take a decision on a project or anything, consult the “Why Room” so that when the cloudy days come, the why will be the sun(fuel, confidence) lighting up your dark days. ‘I Am Everything I've Learnt And More’
