Poison Quickwrite: Hard Choices

I have made hard decisions at times in my life, one of them was the hardest, and that was two years ago when my mom asked me if I can move back to Taiwan. With much memory of the fun I had during vacation at Taiwan I immediately said yes. What I did not realize is that how big of a mistake I just have made and now my life is in turmoil. It is impossible to retrieve my happiness that once shined in the states. As I have said before, the things that encouraged me to say "yes" to my mom's question was the "fun" I had before on the puny island. I'd never thought that it could burn me like I am burning right now. The short story I wrote before will explain the details on how things are slowly eating me alive and how painful it is.
People like my dad made hard decisions before, since the economy isn't doing it's best, he decided to move to 'Nam to start a clothing business. He faces the choice to either stay with his family or go on to make money FOR his family. After a year of thinking about it, he decided that money was what's best for his family, therefore, moving to Viet Nam and starting a huge factory. He now often says that he is lonely and wishes to move back, but he can't until I am full grown to work! I guess my dad and I share some similarities, but still, I need to work hard to achieve my goals, to go back to where I belong.
These hard choices are like tricks, they trick you and deceive you, once you fall into their traps you are stuck in eternal sadness and un-forgiveness. In order to make the right moves, you need to be yourself and think critically. People need to think ahead of themselves and plan accordingly, through these techniques,I think that people will thrive to achieve happiness, unlike me.
