Choices....

How do you know that you made the right choice?
Whether it is the dress you are wearing today, or the cereal you bought, or the life u chose?
How can you know for sure that it's the right choice to make?

I always felt that I would rather make the choice myself and be unhappy than living by what someone else decided for me.and I cannot say that I am truely happy!

I have always been a very rebellious, free thinking and out there person , which is posh talk for stubborn, loud mouthed and rude. But I am a good person, at least I think so.
One thing I am most absolutely sure of is that I cannot cause hurt to anyone, consciously.

Also I'm very ambitious, a dreamer even, with a wild imagination that makes me see these fantastical dreams which then my mind begins to desire.
But in all of this the one thing I forever wanted to do was to become a surgeon, a really good surgeon.  That was/is my life's dream. And I was willing to sacrifice anything to get there.
I have lays been an excellent student so it wasn't too hard for me either.

So while I dreamt these dreams with my eyes wide open I never realized that I don't get to choose everything in my life. '' When you think you have life all figured out, life gives you a jolt and makes you realize that you don't have any control on it"

Med school was tough. So whoever it is that said that it's only tough to get in and there on its a breeze, well I personally would love to strangulated him. No one tells you about the competition , the bitchiness and the manipulation. No one tells u that people can stoop to any level to push u down even a bit.

Surviving that took more out of me than I would care to admit. In just the span of a year I went from being bubbly, cheerful with a skip in my feet to friendless, shunned, mocked, self conscious, depressed and morally broken. And I guess I never really recovered from it.
But still the fight in me didn't die, not entirely that is, for every time I felt exhausted the spark of light would flicker a bit and again I would force myself to push ahead, to not give up.

My innocence, my self worth, my morale is the sacrifice I have made to get one step closer to a dream which now was barely alive.

The day I finished medical school was the best day of my life. I knew I finally got to move ahead, I didn't have to suffer the past anymore, I could move on past the past and head towards something glorious.

But something happened, I fell on love. And that's when I made the decision. I chose to marry the only man in the world who knew me, the only man I could ever love and think of being with forever.

That choice has changed my life.
Today after two years of marriage I am still struggling to recognize my lifelong dream . Struggling!!! Against time, age, family
