after 48 years. . .
I am sort of back. I'm not really suppossed to be updating this blog since I should be revising for my exam tomorrow. It's a BIGGIE by the way. Pero since pasaway ako, I am HERE.
Well, I am really not keen on writing updates on what happened to me the past few months. All I can say is that it's a mixture of bad and good, sad and happy moments. Ganun lang naman talaga ang life di ba? There are ups and and downs but the beauty of it lies on how you stand up every time you fall and how you remain grateful for the blessings despite of the pain and tears you have to shed along the way. Life will never be easy and pain-free but it is a beautiful gift. I just want to share this insipiring quote I read few days ago:
Life is a matter of perspective. Either you complain that roses have thorns or you rejoice that thorns have roses. It all depends on how you look at it.
Simple thought but very inspiring. It's almost like an eye-opener for me. Coz I admit that most of the time I tend to focus on my problems, complain about the hardships I have to go through. Therefore, I am missing all the little blessings that I continuously receive from Him. The simple fact that I am still here today experiencing life is something I should always be grateful for.
Sometimes we could get caught up in our problems and dilemmas but we should all strive to find the light so we could see that it's not all bad. Problems come with solutions. Things happen for a reason. Although there are times when solutions are hard to find and reasons are unknown to us, it doesn't mean we lost the fight or we reached the end. I'd like to believe that there are no dead ends for they are just walls or obstacles that test our strength and determination to reach for that something. We just have to work our way around these walls.
And just like me, I know many people experience those "I want to give up" moments. However, I hope that just like me, they find that strength and courage deep within themselves to go on and realise that life doesn't end where their problems start. Conflicts make us better individuals, hardships make us stronger persons. We all might have heard or read these phrases more than a hundred times but the truth in these lines doesn't change. You can either be cynical about it or be comforted by its meaning. At the end of the day, it's your choice and your choices and decisions today are the ones that mould the shape of your tomorrow.
