Prolog

For most people nowadays having a partner in their life to share everything is a goal to be filled soon and somehow they will avoid the situation of being single. Being single for me is not hard to do or deal with. Now I have been single for 2 years and I want to focus on building my career and do a lot of self-improvement. I never feel so relieved and free like this when I was in a relationship. It was not because I am not happy with the relationship I had before, but I feel like I don't owe someone to think and take care of their feelings anymore.

I am now having a stable career and great things ahead of me. For instance, I will have my first international conference next month on the most beautiful island in Imperica. It is also my first time travel across the country by plane and I am so excited about this trip.

When I am packing my things in my room my best friend, Casey comes to my room, "Hey! How's the preparation?". I hug her as she enters the room, "Casey! Great, I am so excited about this trip!". She hugs me too and lays on the bed after it. The sad thing about this trip is that Casey does not come along with me and I will have no company for the next 3 days. "I have talked to Jason and he said that he will meet you at the airport and pick you up. What do you say?" said Casey and I am surprised that Jason would say yes for the favor she asked. I smile and say, "That would be wonderful! I mean how come on earth he says yes? I had to beg a thousand times but he won't say yes to me." Casey laugh and sitting next to me while I continue to pack my clothes into the luggage. "He was just joking around with you. Of course, he will say yes you are his sister, and why the heck on earth he is not picking you up?" I just rolled my eyes and said, "I don't know. You know him, he is just an asshole sometimes and especially when I need him." Casey laugh and tease me with how Jason makes fun of us since we were young. Casey helped me packed and we had lunch together after that. Tomorrow, I need to wake up super early to catch the flight and I can't wait to explore Imperica. I wish that Imperica will be my ticket to the world and the beginning of my journey to find the best version of myself, to find something that I never have before, and probably the ticket to get rid of my trust issue.

The hardest thing in life when you get hurt is not trying to forgive someone else but to forgive yourself and accept that things are not always working as we expect and to feel the guilt of the mistake that we made.
