A girl recently posted on her regret after finding out that a boy that she really liked in the past was currently earning more in terms of salary than her current boyfriend.
This is the full story.
“izzit ok to post here even after graduation? Graduated years ago, and lookin back on those years in university, there sure is lots to reminisce upon, the good, the bad, the grateful, the regrets.
One major regret would be to not chase after this guy I had a liking for. As smart as he is, he was never known for his academic results. People would mention him because of his other characteristics, but never his academics. Peers often told me to go for the FCH guys, as they’d fetch high salaries and enjoy a smooth career path in the future. True enough, I got together with a guy who eventually graduated from an elite course. His starting salary wasn’t meagre, it was nearly 4k. Add that with his MA program in his company, that most likely mean a bright future for us, and I was proud of him. But somewhere within I knew while I liked him, I did not love him for him. But that did not matter, because the guy who I initially liked and grew an intense liking for, fell out of school, and I lost touch with him. So all was good with my current BF.
Till 2 days ago, when I heard about the guy I initially liked from friends, only to find out he holds a job with a starting salary that was way higher than my BF’s current salary, despite my bf having worked in his competitive industry for years. Like why does life like to play a prank on us like that? I feel like I am starting to miss this guy, and I should have believed my initial instincts that he would be a successful person even though he never liked or exceled at academics. I used to think he will struggle at life for not studying and playing around in school, but thinking back, not studying at all and being able to survive years in university actually meant he is smart.
People will hate me for this confession, but since it is anonymous, I have no qualms uploading it here. Thank you admin for sustaining this anonymous page by the way, it really meant alot as there is no other outlet I can let this thought out at. Call me shallow if you want, but I know I am not shallow. My current BF looks better than the guy I liked, but I liked the initial guy more. So how can this be shallow? It is just that initial guy has this silent drive that drew me to him, that I knew I could never find anywhere. That must be the reason why life’s working out for him now too, and I am just glad that his other talents worked out for him in the end.”
