A limitless future limits the present. What's my future? Is this home,
is this where I'm supposed to belong? What of my duty, what of the
potential to serve the Philippines, what of all the love and
friendship I've left behind there?

I am adrift, no stars to guide me. I can follow the current, but I
must then follow alone… I should keep faith that when I am closer to
shore, I will find what I need. In the meantime, let me do whatever I
can. It is but one of the sacrifices I must make, and it is merely the
sacrifice of something I have so recently discovered. May I have the
strength to live without it!
