The Vintage Lesson

But a different task for a common competition leads Tiffany to break up with her 5-year boyfriend. Can she win the life-changing competition of her dreams? Can she win back her boyfriend? Will she win both with the lessons from an old diary, or will she just drop both of her dreams?

Prologue

Traveling is my hobby, but writing is my life. I dropped my course on Pharmacy when I was on my second-year. Well, I really didn’t like it. When I was on my high school, I was planning between Journalism and Psychiatry. But my mother said that thousands of journalism students graduates every year, and that I may not have a job with that number of applicants. And unfortunately, my sister thinks that if you are a psychiatrist, then you are crazy, just like your patients. They’re pathetic. They don’t know the real meaning of passion and love for work.

Okay, I know some of you will be asking between the connection of Psychiatry and Journalism. Well, here it is. With my own understanding, a good and professional journalist must understand each and every people involve and even those who are related in his or her article. And to be a able to fully understand your subject, you must learn to study their behaviors or emotions. And that’s when psychology enters. Get it?

So, I am 20-year old when I went out of the university and flew from England to Ireland. I was still in the same continent, that’s why my mother located me easily. We talked for about three hours and then the result: “Come back to Pharmacy or give up being my child?”. Isn’t that terrible? So, I answered the second one, and then I went out of the place where we talked and then my mother pulled me and told me that if it wasn’t them, I am not alive. So, here I am - a 25-year old travel writer, working really hard to pay my debts to my ex-FAMILY.
