It was just an ordinary night when I first left my comfort zone to work in another country. I thought it was one of my career's biggest breaks...indeed it was. I guess it was time to give up my work in a public hospital and entertain better opportunities. I am sure I made the right decision, I just never thought I wouldn't be happy with it.
I work 10 hours a day. Some days are busy while some are the days when boredom could almost kill me. I also enjoyed working, but there are just days that I'd wish I never came here. There are issues that I don't like about my workplace and often, it would make me hope that 2 years will be over.
In my seven months of stay here, I went through a lot. From the simplest struggle of waking up in the morning to the battle of convincing myself to do the same thing the next day. Believe me, I have heard a lot from the people who'd rather not wake up. It's hard to contest with yourself trying to bluff your happiness for your own advantage.
During the times where I am not so mean about this place, I spend it thanking God for keeping up with me. I must have turned into a hateful, arrogant, careless person to avoid being damaged. I have tried all coping strategies but it was only through praying where I find myself less angry. That was the time when I chose to appreciate, rather than complain.
I may still have to face a lot of ordeals, but I am bringing my faith and my experiences with me. I will learn from it and use it for my best interests. Because, I believe it can save me from further impairment, and it's exhausting to keep whining. Nonetheless, this is the one thing I am sure--Whatever I went through, I will not let it destroy me and eat out the best of me for I will be leaving this town alive.
