Mediocrity for Freedom

Mediocrity for Freedom
by Danica Pabalan

I got it; that sudden trade-off that i have always wanted and wished for yet as i see the consequences it is bringing to my life, i begin to question the certainty of my decision. Somehow, I seem like someone unfamiliar and people ask why for reasons I cannot explain. A voice inside tells me that I am doing the right thing - for what is my excellence if it is dependent of an identity other than that of mine? My quest is to find that voice, that reason - all of which I truly possess.

I will suffer these consequences - embrace my mediocrity and above all love my freedom - for they are from where I will shape my own, my very own excellence.

I am no new person. I am that same girl two and half years ago longing for that same hopeless requital, that same unprovided explanation. However this time, I am much braver - finally happy to be back to zero. I hope that goes for you too.

God bless and good bye!
