when i mean what i say:

"... It is ok not to take up the opportunity..."
".. It is only an opportunity if it brings u one step closer to wad u truly love.."

原来、有时候。
放弃也是一种会让你感到轻松的决定。
一种勇气、一种新期望。

It now seems like a gain somehow.

I am truly glad I had close ones that seemed to see what's in me, not that they gave me opinions but instead they waited for me to make them and gave me comfort.
How often you have such mates close to your soul.
I'm thankful :)

Now, to take pride and less grief in the current before a real opportunity comes along!
"Hush now" says one! :)
