Something popped into my mind recently. It\’s from Sence 8, a great series that I saw years ago. A line I\’ll never forget from a side character: \’Life is just five things: eating, drinking, shitting, fucking, and fighting for more.\’
When I first watched it, the line really shocked me and it was deeply engraved in my mind and will never go away. I found it so true.
Since my trip to Cambridge clashed with my pre-training for Rwanda, I asked the department if there was a way I could make it up after I returned from Cambridge. And today, I got the approval. I\’m just so grateful and glad that I didn\’t decide to quit in the first place, but asked if there could be some alternative arrangement. I was really happy when I got the email today, and it really meant a lot to me.
The scheduling of these two things really bothered me for a while, and I was really worried that I wouldn\’t be able to make things work.
The thing I really learned is, ask for it, ask for what you want. Things can happen from time to time, and they can change from time to time, if you never ask for what you want and just accept whatever comes your way, one could be missing out on a lot of amazing moments in their life! The experiences you could have had, the life you could have had, don\’t let yourself look back with regret.
