The Little Lost Rat

"Where is my cheese?", the little rat asked. It wandered further into the jungle. There was no sign of other beings around except for the tall trees surrounding the little rat. Afraid, the little rat stopped moving and rationalised if it should continue to look for its cheese. "Is it possible to have cheese in this huge forest?". "Will I be starved to death before I could find any cheese or before I could find my way out?". The little rat then decided to continue its effort. "If I continuing searching, I would have at least some chance of surviving, whether I find my cheese or I find my out of the forest", the rat thought to itself. To the little rat's delight, it found a piece of cheese not long after. It ate the cheese and hope was what the rat felt.

The above is somewhat my thoughts for the past few months. I could not see what would be lying ahead of me and I was confused what I should I do as I wanted to achieve more (because I felt I didn't have much achievements in life which I am particularly proud of. Perhaps I was demanding too much or that's the truth) but the situation at that point of time was not to my favour. The fact that I was not able to picture my future did startle and scare me, as I am the type who prefer things to be planned and organised. I am not much of a spontaneous person though I would leave some things to have nature takes it course.

Thank God that now the situation was slightly better and I wasn't as confused, depressed and lost as I was. Probably, in another year to come, I would be faced with similar situation. Anyway, things would then be to my favour the next time perhaps(I hope). I believe I might be in a better position to handle as I could be in better control than before and I would have grown up a little by then =p
