Another step was taken, and spiritually, I think I’ve learnt much, much more. This school holidays has been turmoil, a step in faith, a step out of an ordinary life, and in the end you gain something from all the hurt.
Not a lot of people like to grasp their emotions and in the end they just run wild, it’s superficial. I’ve learnt that life is like a vending machine; you have to give to get back. I know, sometimes it seems like what we’re doing now seems to be leading nowhere, but everything is related somehow.. even day-dreams.
If you think that life is like a misery, I’d like to say; it is. Not all the time you can sing with joy and laugh like a foolish child. There are times when you’ll be down, and no one would be there, only when you, and people who truly believe in you can bring you back to your feet. And remember, He’s always there. Time dictates choices, and choices dictate your emotions… you see, there is never possibly a perfect life free from the ups and downs. Trust in yourself, and trust in anyone you used to trust.
Would you believe me if I said, “In the midst, there will be someone who cares,”? Not everyone confesses their care and concern, if you think you’re alone, don’t forget how many people you’re disappointing, you have a responsibility. There ARE people who wanna watch you grow.
Hey friend, you’ve got to believe in yourself. People might think you’re negative, others might think you’re just cranky, but they ain’t you. Only you know how you feel, and only you can pull through yourself ultimately. People will be there to prevent you from falling, but no one’ll be there to help you up.
Well, there are people that don’t care about emotions, who’s cowardly enough to run from their fears and troubles? If you’re sad and down, it means you’re bravely fighting those feelings, and remember – you will win. I know it sounds stupid to talk about this stuff, but whoever’s reading this, I know you have problems. Praise to the ones who has overcame theirs, and to those who haven’t, I believe in you… even if I don’t know you well.
Life is not a marathon, it is a stroll. Take your time, and as the sunlight falls dim, the streetlamps shall lead your way. I’ve learnt that even when you have people who care around you, sometimes we have to fight the battles alone.. we have to rely on one another one way or another, we have to rely on God, we have come by our sadness and come out saying, “It’s okay now,”
At the end of the day, it is our lives that reflect how happy we’ve been, so why not cherish this moment now? That you’re still alive, God has made it possible for you. And he wants you to appreciate every moment, and we too.
