Life Choices
"... As for me, life is heaps different. I finished uni in 2002, got admitted as a lawyer in 2003, moved to Cowra (rural NSW) in the same year and started practicing in a small law firm. Got married in June last year (on my 25th birthday) in the Blue Mountains and have since lived in Forbes..."
This is a line from an email I just got from one of my closest friends in University - Susie Tuon. It is a funny story with us... we met in the queue to buy our law text books, then we realised we both had sleeping bags and were travelling to the same Law Orientation Camp. Instantly we became the closest of friends, and remained so throughout our law studies. We also lived together for a short time in a place not far from the Sydney CBD.
Unfortunately we lost touch, especially as I became more involved with AIESEC, and took a national position in Australia, then I headed to Denmark... so yeah it has been awhile. Its an amazing email to recieve, when someone you were really close with is giving you updates on a year level... not just a month or half month basis. It is even more surreal comprehending how different your life has become from someone who you were originally on the same path with.
Right now it is making me think about the different paths in life, and the places that making different choices takes you.
It is hard for me to imagine that Susie is married... I mean since June last year, that she is living such a different life... but it is also amazing, and when we have a catch up on the phone I know it is going to be like no time passed at all.
But yeah, the email has really made me think and reflect alot today.
THANKS SUSIE, love hearing from you again! MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
