Tough Choices-Career vs. Love

Life is filled with tough choices. All of which can determine the type of life you're going to have.
This year, 2011, has been filled with major decisions for me. It's been a fulfilling year, even still. I've been in Singapore all year and it's had it challenges but overall many more highlights. The group I perform with opened for Ludacris and T-Pain this year, both of whom I'm big fans of. And I have grown tremendously as a performer. Most importantly, I am working, doing something I really love to do, and that is sing.

One of the hardest parts of this year though was letting go of a significant other. We tried to make it work in the beginning, but he couldn't take me being gone for so long, so he broke up with me. That was tough. So tough, that I almost went back home because I did not want him to leave me. Why am I writing this? Because, I need to get it out. I love what I do. But do I love it too much that I could not go back home to my boyfriend that I left in LA? I wish I had his support. But I do understand where he was coming from.

So, I'm really trying to stay focused while I am here. I have some exciting projects to look forward too here in Singapore and I have made some great friends!

I still think about him though. And I've tried dating again and that is hard too.

Just keeping it real.

Peace and Love,

Jael :)
