live, love, laugh. Just the way I like it.
Everything I thought was perfect and certain all of a sudden became so dismantled. All this while, perhaps it is the way I was brought up, I always believe that as long as we try and strive for something hard enough, if we want it bad enough, it would eventually work its way out. Take a relationship for example, although we all know that it takes more than love and affection, responsibility, commitment and compromises would eventually come in place if you want to be with the other person badly. And sticking it through helps us grow and support one another as the day goes by.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about what I want with my life. I am thankful that my parents had brought me into this world, they are patient and supportive and have taught me how to become a better person and to learn from my mistakes and strive for the better. Appreciate the good times and bad. After all, I know that at the end of the day, my future lies in my hands, the choices that I make will determine my next step. Whether I fall or survive depends on how strong my faith is, the card I play and my call to the right move. Like playing a game of chess. Life is a gamble. It is probably pointless and I don't expect to gain anything out of this.
I read somewhere that often when we lose hope and think that this is the end, God whispers from above, "Relax dear, it's just a bend, not the end". And I would smile because it gave me a little bit of hope. Speaking of God and religion, I am sick of the distrust and racial issues this beautiful country is facing. I respect all religions but I also believe that there is no one religion that reigns above the rest and there is no one religion that teaches bad doings. Whatever the language may be, or methods and differences all things in life are only temporary and we can never really tell what is right or wrong.
But no matter what happens, life goes on. Sometimes we can never understand why some things are the way they are and no matter how many words are said or actions done, we don't always get what we want. But this is still a wonderful place to be and even if there is pain now it will eventually be all right. For as long as the world still turns, I will wait for the rainbow after this downpour like how good things come after the bad.
Falling out, rocking away.
