Upon hearing an aquaintance of mine that told me her life story, she commented that “Everyone has their own’s life story to tell”. I couldn’t help but wonder that if they were to make a book out of my life, it would be as boring as reading the dictionary. I don’t even think that it would have made it to 100 pages.

Her, on the other hand, had every gist needed for a typical movie. The drama, the calling, the main characters played to make her life (which is now a success), the villains, the journey, the romantic love scenes and most of all, what everyone want in the end, the lesson learnt and the results i.e happy ending.

Maybe her story is still writing on its way, perhaps that it was just the ending of a chapter in a book, but I too wished that I had an adventurous life like hers. On the other hand, maybe not because some parts of her life story is something everyone wish it had not happened to them. The death of her beloved father when she was 20 yrs old, her wake up call that mould her into what she has become of today. She told me that perhaps if this incident were not to have happened, she would be some “princess” attitude girl that does not have any understanding of other people’s life and situation. Then, she would also be some sort of street girl running around with pierced body and tatoos just waiting for another day to pass

I guess after that, her experiences taught her a lot into becoming what she is today. A successful and important person that a company values as their asset. I wish I could share her story with everyone because it really changed my perspective of how and what I thought about her but I guess I have to ask for her permission first.
As for my own past? I could not really think of anything important nor significant that would change my point of view sometime in my life. Perhaps, it’s never changed in the first place.

Maybe there is but to me I just couldn’t think of it yet. I guess my stories were short stories. Snippets of my life’s journey. Do you have one to tell?
