What if.....

It was 2 am in the morning. I felt a sudden chill along my spine while walking through a long quiet tunnel. My heart was pounding and the hair stood up at the very end of the skin. I heard something or perhaps it's just an auditory hallucination. I didn't know but I clasped my both hands with a word of prayer.

I walked out of the tunnel with a sigh of relief. My stomach was making noise and I just knew that I needed a quick meal before going back for duty. All shops were closed. Then I saw this convenient shop and decided to grab a drink and some bread. I sat down with a big relief to my both legs. Quickly I took a sip of drink. Then....it's so refreshing.

There were still some people around. The air was cooling and it's so quiet. I couldn't help but gazing at the store worker. He was working, at this hour. But I was sure by dawn, he would be going home. So, tonight would be only both of us here. He played this Korean song. I recognized it! It used to be sung in Mandarin.

I just wanted to rest my head on a pillow, if I could by now. My lil' heart whispered, do I really enjoy what I am doing now? There's a sudden pause. I finished my snacks in my hand, a packet of dried cuttle fish. Well, there were not many options then.


Sometimes, I like putting myself in other people's shoes. I mean life. What if I was an attendant? What if I was a storekeeper working night shift? What if I was an accountant? There are so many questions with what if.... I can't answer all of them. What I know is that, I want to make my life more meaningful, have more time for myself, family and friends. There are so many things I want to do in life. It's just a matter of time, planning and the blessing from the ABOVE.

I believe there's always a life if you make time for it.
