"You'll start hating life if you do things that you hate." I learned this from an anime called 'Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.' I watched it many years ago, but it has never left my heart (as cheesy as it sounds).I used this quote as a compass for finding out what I really want to do with my life, or maybe 'used' isn't the right term, because I am and will be using it for the rest of my life.

Whenever I feel confused or stuck, I always ask myself, 'Am I genuinely happy with the current state of my life?' And my answer becomes the basis for my next move. However, that doesn't mean I only choose to do things that I like and never the ones that I don't. I am not privileged enough to live in that luxury, but I hope that one day I get there.
