Non-Linear Success

What would you do when your in your late 20's and wondering what more could this life offer to you?

I'm your regular office worker with the right amount of dreams for myself and my family. However, I am a little clueless of where I am standing right now. If you graduated as an achiever during your younger years, so full of ambitions, then end up being in my position, would you be glad?

Being ungrateful is the last thing I would feel right now. I am more of comfortable sitting here today. But, some days I cannot stop myself, at some point of time, I replay old dreams, old goals in my head.

I used to fill my yellow paper with essays of hope and nobody knows I how direly wanted to become someone my home town would put in a pedestal. The trophy child. The bright child with equally bright future.

But how about now? Do I still carry that pride in my chest? Or do I chose peace over the glamor and secular meaning of success?
