This is so familiar.
The situation I am in.
This cross-junction I have come upon again and again and again.
If anyone ask where my heart and soul lie, considering the fact that I have worked in two entire different fields of career now; there can only be one true-to-self answer. They've always been with law, with rules of laws, with cases made up of sophisticated English names, with statutory interpretations, with equitable interests, with laws of the land, with will-writings, with constructive trusts, with Donoghue vs Stevenson's, with Re Tiuck's Settlement Trusts, with actus reus, with mens rea, with the ei incumbit probatio qui dicit's, with the ignorantia juris non excusat's.
These are the words that make me hustle, to hasten, to impel.
Law; in itself full of words, of languages, of interpretations, of puns, of life, of soul; Oh the soul. Like those brilliant compositions of songs. Full of souls. Paragraphs after paragraphs that leave you with satisfactory insights as well as the feeling of insufficiency; they make you feel full and at the same time hungry for more.

...And then I got the news that I have to wait a bit longer before I can be a lawyer. I'd be a robot if I say I wasn't at all devastated to know that. But then I've gained so much strength over the past few years to know that everything, regardless of its nature; happens for a reason.
And usually, if you allow things to work itself out with grace, the reasons are good as hell.
So then, I think and I think again.
Law in its very form resembles life in more ways than a million.
It is in life; mine, yours, his, hers, theirs - and how we are all wonderfully connected; that I find soul.
It is completely okay that I have to wait longer than the rest. It is even okay if I have to wait a lifetime. I am just given the opportunity to be more free in achieving things I never thought I could. That prerogative. Unchained. Unobstructed.
I just have to make sure that while waiting for those big dreams to become reality, I fight for my own tiny dreams and make these little ones come true.
