Question

I worked in a finance       that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with           relationships. I was searching for happiness and had no           where to find it.

Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (慢性疲劳综合征). I had to           my job and was left with no income.          I eventually regained my physical health, not long after that I got a(n)          from my family at home saying that my father’s cancer had

       progressed. I left the city and went home to be with him, yet he died soon afterwards. My           oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad that she was        to hospital. They discovered that she            highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing           could do. One month later she died.

I could never put into words the           of my sister in my life. She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime           her. The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees and I             in hospital.

I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the            and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She          with me all night long.

I           during that night that I had to make a choice. I made the decision that, I

        just live any life. I would live the life that I           LOVE and nothing less. Since then I have begun to           the most beautiful life for myself. I spend quality time with the rest of my precious family and cherish every moment I have with them. I’m making new friends with beautiful souls around the world.

I love myself more deeply every day.
