A haze of coloured clouds is floating as far as the eye could see. The urge to move was awakened, so step by step was taken.

Until a hazy shadows was seen in a distance. There stand a mirror with its decor of intricate patterns as beautiful as it age.

Wondering, why there is no reflection to be seen on the other side. A slight touch on the mirror, suprised of the warmth it emits.

A blink then a step back was taken. Her sudden appearance on the other side was a suprised.

She looked like me, but she is not me. Her smiling expression did not deems the sadness in her eyes. Weary of the wisdom of the age and the burdens it carries.

She waved her hand and urged me to come closer until our hand overlapping each other. Then, her words were heard.

Do you feels that life is unfair?

Truthfully I felt it was true, my life is unfair. Why can they have what I wanted?

Just because they looked prettier than me, just because they have more connection than me.

I worked doubly hard to gain the achievement that I had now. I worked with my utmost sincerity, but just because of one mistake, everything was taken from me.

We are all humans, who had never done a mistake ever in their life. None. Everyone makes a mistake, whether it is a stupid mistake or a clever mistake can be clarified later.

It is what we do after the mistake was done that should be criticised about, whether admitted it, apologise, rectified it, kept silent or make it worst.

I admitted my mistake, I apologise to everyone involved, I tried to rectified and repaired it to cause as minimal damage as possible of the aftermath. I consulted and requested help and guidance with my colleagues until finally it was solved.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught. Everything, all of my hard work, all the sleepless nights, the sacrifice I had done. I was being let go, with a notice stating their appreciation of the time given and all the best with a bit contribution from them.

That is it. The end.

When ask why, their answer, they did not want a liability and my performance was only average.

Do you feels that life is unfair?

I was awoken from my contemplation hearing her voice again.

Later, after the notice, I went back to my house. I was depressed and saddened with the sudden roller-coaster events. I felt that everything was useless. My motivation went downhill into the mud.

With all this turmoil, I called my parents, letting them know the news of my failure. They listened and told me to come back home. Drop everything and come back home. Packed the essentials and come back home. Notified my close friends, neighbors and come back home. Come back home. Come back home. Come back home. To them.

So, I came back home. Home was mom, dad, my older brother, my sister-in-law, my nephew and my second brother. They hugged, they kissed, they smile a saddened smile.

They said to rest, I rested.
They said to eat, I ate.
They said to come, I went.

Moving through the motion according to the flow. It felt like I was drifting through the ocean without any set course, letting the waves take me wherever they want.

Until my dad forced the anchor down and stopped me. I was startled from the sudden impact.

One evening, he watched me, in the beginning, I felt nothing. After a while, it unnerved me.
I thought he wanted to yelled at me to started to grow up, to not be a ninny.
