Growing up, I always see myself as an oncologist. A person who helps people cope up and do better in life. I already set that goal in my mind for a long time ago.
Though, I know that life is not that easy. Sometimes things will not go according to your plan and what you are expecting. And I don't know how or what will I do if I fail. I can't accept that kind of defeat.
I saw people living the opposite of their dreams, not being able to graduate, and failing their exams. And I fear to experience the same.
Because I can't fail. This is my dream. I invested a lot in this dream. And I don't want to let this go.

Wow.
I'm sorry I don't know what to say. I'm out of words.
I did not expect you as a person that would've this kind of problem.

No, I'm sorry. We just met and here I am already talking my shits to you.
Am I being awkward?

No, it's okay.
It's nice to look in your perspective. I never had this kind of conversation with my friends or other people.
I can clearly see that you are very passionate about your dream, which I really admire.

I think it's normal to be afraid of the future, right? People always feared things that they did not know.
But at least may plano ka, at alam mo na kung anong gusto mo. I believe that if you put your mind and heart into something, everything else will follow and you'll be able to achieve your dream.
How about me naman, di'ba? Haha
Nasa third year na ako. Isang taon na lang graduate na ako. Pero hanggang ngayon iniisip ko pa din kung tama ba nag naging desisyon kong mag-business law.

Why what happened? Nagbago ka ba o mas nakilala mo lang ang sarili mo?

Certainly, none of the choices. I don't even know what I am doing til now.

Then, why did you chose that course in the first place?

I chose it because unlike you, I don't have that overpowering feeling or passion to be someone while growing up.
I don't have a dream that stays. It always changes every time. Like when I was in elementary, I dreamt of being a chef, then I wanted to be a doctor in my junior and an engineer in my senior.
I was pressured after my High School graduation because I didn't have that kind of vision like everyone else. Every time I close my eyes and try to imagine myself in the future, I can't see myself being that one particular person with this one particular job.

That actually sounds sad.
We have the most opposite problems and situation right now. We're like at the both ends of the string. Yet, I can still feel the pain and pressure you are experiencing.

Same. I guess, no life is really that easy, huh

Seriously, I didn't also expect you'd say that.
You wanna talk more about it?

Nah, its already late. Maybe next time.

Okay, I guess we both should sleep this out.
Thank you for trusting me with this side of you. I hope we could talk more.

I hope so too :)

Goodnight
