Well I haven’t posted in a long while, last proper posting was dated 1st April 2009. So enough jibber jabber… I won’t bother going into much details of things since April till now…A few life changing moments throughout the past 6months plus. I’ve managed to feel almost all forms of emotions from the elation of my 30th birthday to the heart wrenching passing of my father, 2009…the year of The Yellow Brick Road.
If anyone is unfamiliar with the “Yellow Brick Road” it’s the road Dorothy traveled with her pooch Toto to the Emerald City in search of the Wizard Of Oz so as to find her way home to Kansas. If you’ve not read the book, go get it! “The Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum.
Well I feel my life is akin to that of Dorothy and NO…I’m not a guy running around in a dress with a pooch by his side. I was in a deep long conversation with a close friend just recently, and I came to the conclusion, everyone has their “Yellow Brick Road” (YBR) experience in life. As through life’s journey, we encounter so many obstacles and friends along the way. Over the past few months, I’ve been in limbo with my life and life decisions. My one wish when I turned 30 was to become more responsible with my life and my direction. I guess my father had other ideas. His passing struck a crippling blow to my “life decisions/plans”. One day I’m up and about babbling incoherently and aimlessly what I want to do with my life just because I’m turning the big three-O, and next I’m entrusted all the responsibility I could never imagine, over night I’m the family head with a list of Do’s and Don’t that I must figure out. These chains of events dropped me right on the YBR.
I began reassessing all my decisions and actions over the past month and even years to come to a conclusion. I need to get to the Wizard; he’ll have the answers I need. Over the past months I’ve met so many people, and some of them have become my closest confidants, and for that I’m thankful that I have these traveling companions on the YBR.
As for now…I’m in the midst of this really perplexing journey, but I know that at the end of this journey I will find the answers I need, whether good or bad, I’ll be left to find out at the end of the YBR when I meet the Wizard at the Emerald City, and I shall find my answers there. Until then, I must just keep focusing on the path ahead, it’s a long path, and not an easy one.
