I'm happy I didn't make a PhD

I'm happy I didn't make a PhD.

Not because it’s a bad thing.
But I would have done it at the wrong time,
And for the wrong reasons.

I would have done it to avoid the open world.
To remain on a predictable track.
Because I didn’t know what to do.
I didn’t see options.

Also, I would have done it at the wrong time.
I went back to school at 23.
I was 28 when I got my master's degree.
It was time to jump in.

I was apprehensive.

But anyway.
I jumped into life.
I realised I was lost.
Ang I got into troubles.

A shock happened.
But I found inspiration on my way.

I did introspection.
I tried things.
And I know me better.

Now,
I’m having fun.
I move forward.
And I’m excited about the future.
