First Step on a New Road
Different jobs, different surroundings, different people, different goals, different ideals, a different me and a different life were possible.
These were things that were already on my mind but had occasionally slipped out of my mind due to the meaningless hustle and bustle of the day and the absurd tasks of the day. I wanted to see a film like when I was a student, and I came across it. It triggered a lot of thoughts that were left on the edge, it lit a light.
It is a film that tells us about the potential of the person, the decisions she made in the past, her constant thinking about what kind of life she would have if she had chosen a different path, if she had made a different decision, and shows us different universes where this happens, Everything Everywhere All at Once.
It was a film that I wanted to watch for a long time, a film that I was curious about and the subject matter was very interesting to me, a very reasonable reason when I think about the first paragraph.
I believe that every person has turning points in their life and the choices they make can make them better or worse. That brings up the question of achieving one’s potential.
Today’s hopelessness, disappointments, unhappiness and regrets make me question my past decisions, where I made mistakes or where I did not take risks. As time passes, I become more experienced, I can look at events and experiences from a different perspective, and I become a little more mature. Here, of course, there is another concept that needs to be questioned: vision. Where you grew up, what environment you grew up in and who you grew up with is a big factor in a person’s decision-making mechanism. I can’t say that I have a broad vision, because if I did, I wouldn’t be at such a frustrating point right now.
In the last few days, I have been researching gut feeling, what others think about this concept, how they define and evaluate it. Because I have a strong feeling that I should act in a different way, that I should change direction and go down a road I have never travelled before.
If I don’t do this, I know I’ll regret it when I look back years from now. In order not to make that mistake on purpose, I am taking a step today to get off the road, even if it is too late. I want to discover new places, new possibilities and new hopes. After all, I believe that bad moments and sad experiences can also be a sign of change.
