I don't know why I never do my best back then. I have a lot of chance but I didn't grab it. I become so easy go lucky and without thinking of what could be the outcome of it. I become complacent and only settle at the bottom even if I can mot to the top if I work hard and study hard. But no, instead of working hard I become lazy, I focus my priority on other things. The decision I made before, I'm now regretting it. Because it affects my future, I have this "What Ifs" and If I could only turn back time I will change all the decision I made that time.
What if...
What if I study well when I was still in High School and didn't just read pocketbooks, I'm sure I'm smarter now than what I am today. What if I never get curious on the book that my Mama is reading that time? What if I never read it when Mama leave it just somewhere? I'm sure I'll never get hooked into it. I'm sure I will focus more on my study than this pocketbook. I'm sure my high school life would be more meaningful.
What if...
What if, I focus more on learning during my College Days? I'm sure, I'm not this bad in everything. I have a lot of plan when I don't have a laptop yet, I told to myself that I will write a stories while studying, but it didn't happen. I also promise to myself that I will try to study more about programming but it didn't happen also. Why? Because instead of studying, I prioritize downloading movies and watching it. Ans all of my free time was consumed on watching.
What if...
What if, I listen to Mom when she ask me to take care of myself and always clean my room, like those dust everywhere. I'm sure that Nasal Poly won't grow on my nose. I'm sure my confidence will still be there. It's started there, actually. I become the shy one because of the Polyp ony nose. If there's a recitation they can't understand what I'm saying because I feel like I have some huge booger on my nose that when I talk I sound like hmm and that affects my grade.
Even if I sound good to my ears, but when I started talking in front of everyone that's where I feel like they don't understand my explanation. And that's where anxiety will attack me. A lot of thought that I can't focus on what I'm saying anymore. I feel like they will laugh at me anytime that I just want to disappear in front of me. Yeah, I have that thought in my College Days. If only I listen to my Mom's nagging about cleanliness I'm sure 😩.
What if?
I have a lot of this from minor to major and from simple one to a big one. And what I stated above is the big one that I still question until now.

Well, I can't change it anymore right. It's just a memories now and memories can't be modified, memories from the past. It already happened. And even if I kill myself I can't change it anymore because I made a decision that time. The only thing that I can do now is to move forward and do our best now for our better future. Same with you who have a lot of what ifs. Even if we question our bad decision for a million times back then, we can't still change it.
We can't go back on that time because there is no Time Machine that exist here. But we can choose a different path in our present. If you started in the wrong path, then we can just take a detour. But make sure that you are ready to face the new challenges because never know, we might encounter a rocky road path with a lot of bumps. We may crash when we come across the zigzag but we can just stand and walk again right? That's the challenges we might face but with the determination that we had, we can make it through. 💪

I do have lots of what's if. I can only agree to do your best now for the future because no one can't bring back time. Pasts were made to learn from and not to sit and stay stagnant in to, have some courage, self confidence and self esteem to try get out of our comfort zone so that when tomorrow comes you wont say what if again. Instead say, I did it💪
