I read this article off divasisa .. Kinda reminded of me long time ago and I totally agree with her last statement ....

IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE,  GAL !!!!


"Faced between striding forth into a brave new world and sticking with what I'm comfortable with, I have often scooted back to the road most travelled.

That's probably the reason I'm still unmarried at my grand old age, why I've stuck to the same job for 25 years and lived in the same house for 37.


It's also why I return again and again to eat at the same restaurants, why I revisit the same holiday destinations every year, and why I've stuck to the same Sunday routine for donkey's years - wake up, go for yoga, shop, home, dinner, CSI, sleep. (And, yes, it's also why my columns deal with the same topics too.)


I look at people I've grown up with and, goodness, it's like I'm floating in a time warp.


Some have children already in their mid-teens, entering national service even. They have graduated through so many stages of their lives, sold and bought homes, dealt with in-laws, survived the stress of their children's exams and lived through other such grown-up things, whereas I am stuck in the same old groove.


It's not a bad groove, of course, and I've many things to be thankful for and for which I am, but what if more exciting experiences await if I were more daring? Or let's not even talk about exciting, just different experiences?


But I don't like shocks to my system. I don't like feeling awkward. I don't like being put to a test. I like things to be predictable, dull even. I'm too lazy to change the way my life is. It takes so much effort and the thought of it makes me want to just curl up and sleep instead. Besides, what if I make a change and things go wrong? Why risk failure?


The problem is, the more one focuses on the negative aspects of a change, the more real the fear of those negatives becomes, and self-fulfilling too. "

NOSTALGIA !!
