We will weather this storm...


When I moved to UAE, I had nothing except the dreams of doing something new and starting a new life with Satya. I had no responsibilities and also no assets. Completely free from any limits or boundaries but with several pressures and and endless list of actions; of achieving success, securing a job, getting married, getting a house, car, and starting a family. But I was free and I had the choice to do all or none of things from the wish list.
 
My move to Singapore, however, was very different. I had everything we had dreamed of and which we had struggled so hard to achieve, in Dubai. A lovely home, cars, my family, friends, a support system, a career, growth and overall stability. Yet, we chose to move! It's very true that we are free until we get imprisoned by the choices we make!
 
Coming to Singapore may be the best decision or our lives or the worst, that only time can tell, but by making this choice, we are now imprisoned in a situation where we long for the familiar and are afraid of the new. Hopefully, our perseverance will bring this new reality closer to our heart and relegate our past reality to a comfort corner of our mind.
 
It's only a week or should I say, already a week, since I came to Singapore and although many of the intial doubts are cleared, many new ones have emerged!
 
Well, life is in the living, right! And we will weather this storm...
