With courage in tow, I decided to head home and start my life’s new chapter. It would most likely be a chapter mostly consisting of flashbacks as it is a continuation of an unfinished one. Uncertainty may not be an emotions but it’s what fills up my core right now. It’s scary cause it would entail facing the ghosts that once haunted and drove me to move to a new city. It’s also a good thing, perhaps, cause with uncertainty comes the hope of having something better.Don’t get me wrong, working for the Convergys, the best call center in Cebu, is one of the best things that happened to me. My year’s experience there is something I will always be proud. I’ve learned a lot of things that I could not possibly learn from school or government service and most of all I was blessed to have gotten a supervisor that has been very supportive and believed in my capabilities even if I didn’t and from that trust, I’m proud to say that my performance has been exemplary ever since the day I took my first call, which is a kudos call by the way. You may wonder why I’m leaving even with such a great working environment. Well, the answer is simple—it’s time.I feel like the shepherd, in Coelho’s The Alchemist, when he was working in the glass blower’s shop faced with the choice of staying or listening to the voice of the universe and pursuing his personal legend. It seems like the voice of the universe has been haunting me in both my thoughts and dreams again and this time it’s more persistent. I could stay but as the story goes, it’s better to follow the voice than choose the easier path.The urim and thummim has spoken and so, as the shepherd’s story goes, off to Egypt I go.
