I had been invited to an event and there was going to be lots of people, I mean people that were from my past, my former classmates, friends from a long time ago. It would have been been a really nice time today catch up on old times.
However, I couldn't man up. This might seen strange to some people but I have a fear for crowds. I can literally have panic attacks just being in a place like that. So, I made the regrettable decision to not be attend.
It was a friend's wedding. She had been beryl close to me when we were in school that people actually thought we were dating. We had an emotional attachments quite alright but it had nothing to do with a relationship. We were just good friends that were close.
While the occasion was going on, I kept thinking about all the good things that would happen. It pained me terribly that I wasn't there for her.
Later that day and till the next week, friends started uploading pictures on Facebook and I felt really sad. It was all I could do with to stop myself from shedding tears. Up till now, I haven't been able to reach her. Even if I did, I wouldn't know the exact excuse to give. It's still fresh in my memory as it happened just two weeks ago
Yes, I have boycotted something important in my life for something much more important in my life.
After my degree in college, I started my job hunt and finally got a good paying job for my level of education and it was a dream job for me and a month to my official resumption I decided to try out taking a form to further in my academics.
At first I was skeptical about it, I needed to school the more but o needed the money as well as the experience. I just decided to try out my luck.
A month passed by and I resumed my job and two months passed by without hearing no news from the school on the status of my admission, I then lost hope and was thanking God I didn't throwaway the job offer.
By the third month when I've lost hope on admission for that particular year, I received a letter from the college admission office I was applying to that I've been admitted to further my studies. This came as a shock to me because it was the same day I received news from my boss that I'd be part of a research team to another country which is my dream come through. Some would say it was a double blessing but I was stuck in a quagmire because I had to resume school immediately if I plan to meet up with my studies.
I weighed my options and decided to let my boss know I'd not be going on the researchers expedition because I would be going back to school. I felt I had bitter because I might not get that kind of opportunity again but I also felt Happy because furthering my academics is my dream come through.
I boycotted the very much important job and research expedition for my very much important academics. Both were important but my academics was more important.
