There comes a time in a person's life, where they have to make choices. The people who are there lives, might agree or disagree with that person. But at the end of the day, All that matters is that they're happy.
Three weeks, before my 40th birthday, I was on the phone with my best friend/ sister. The conversation we had was about life. We discussed losing weight, friendships, family, men, cooking, traveling . You name it we covered it. Then my sister Keri, asked me a certain question. " Serena, what do you want of life?" For the first time, in a very long time, I was speechless. Serena Jade White, was speechless, not a word, coming out of my mouth.
" Hello Serena, are you there?" Keri asked.
I couldn't say anything, her question had hit me like a freight train. There was no come back at this moment.
" Serena, Are you still there?" Keri yelled through the phone.
" Yes, I'm here." I replied.
" What's wrong? Is everything ok there?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Just thinking, that's all."
" About?"
" Your question, you just asked me Keri. Why did you ask me that?"
" Serena, I have known you all your life, we have been together with through thick and thin, every time someone needs help with a bill, food, or car trouble, you are the one they call. I every time there is a special event, or someone is sick, You are there. No one else. I just feel it's time "FOR YOU SERENA" So, I'm going to ask this question again. " What do you want out of life and what makes you happy."
This time, I wouldn't be speechless in responding back to my sister.
" Keri, I really don't know. Can I think about it, and get back to you with my answer?"
" Yes, of course. Matter of fact I'm going to give you until the day after your birthday, then I want my answer."
" Sounds great."
" Good. Think really good, observe Serena, life is way too short to be sitting around, doing with your life."
" I promise I will think good and hard this. I'll talk to you later."
" Ok, talk to you later sis."
"Ok"
I hung up the phone, looked at the clock. It was almost 12:30pm, t
