“God, it’s snowing outside now”, I yelled out to myself when I pulled the curtain up and looked out through the windows. It was snowing heavily! The snow flakes were falling down from the grey sky and the ground was all white. Finding a cab to go to work will be a problem, I murmured.
I was right! I had stood in the cold and icy street for half an hour before I managed to get in a cab! It’s freezing cold this morning. I saw many people hanging on road waiting for cabs with desperation, because almost all the cabs in the city were occupied at peak hours, especially on the snowing days.
The driver was quite talkative and excited. I bet he was excited about the weather, which would definitely bring to him more profits than usual! He still complained a lot, though. He said he could only earn more during the raining and snowing days. The management fees are raised, the petroleum prices are raised and the maintenance expenses are raised, yet his passengers are not increased accordingly!
Well, I guess some people will never be satisfied with their current situations. People always want more than what they have in hand. Except for Amanda and the job as an interpreter in the government, I have nothing left. This snowing season has formed a storm of disaster for me!
I’m worrying about myself. I have no idea where to head for. I know well being a so-called government officer in this Northeast city is not ideal. Something which should deserve to be mine has not yet come to me. I work hard; I strike for it, without even knowing what it is. Moving to an unknown destination is dangerous, while staying where I am is absolutely not a good idea either!
My heart aches whenever I realize I am still far from being successful in any area! My mind always turns to be a mess when I try to think of something. Now I see myself standing right on a cross road, trying to figure out which way to go. My life will be different whichever direction I take. There’s always a cause and a consequence in life. If I have done something bad before, I have to take whatever consequence with ease!
All the dirty, nasty and disgusting things are covered by snow now. The ground looks so clean that I even hesitate to leave my foot prints on it. However, my foot prints will definitely be shown on the snow. People and I can see them clearly. Straight or not, they are going to be the trace of my life. My terminal is seen down there, shining and waiting…
