121212

Hi Soulmate, The twelfth day of the twelfth month of 2012 is prolly the last repetitive date we'll ever pass by (that is, if I would still be alive on 1January2101 which makes me 116 years old by then and you 117). Most people seemed abuzzed with the date, and apparently I am one of those most people (maybe because I am into patterns: getting about a certain mathematical problem, the minimalism of the lines meeting at a certain distance in the design of the home I dream of putting up, the favicon of this blog which has at least three meaningful patterns that I can make out of, patterns of mistakes I'm careful not to tread again on, and other reasons that I can state on and on).

Hi Soulmate,

Lyft. Riht. Crossroads

Sometimes when I look back
and think of all the could-have-beens in my life
I often wonder:
Did I make the right choice?
Did I miss a road sign?
Am I on the right track?
CROSSROADS.

Sometimes when I look back
and think of all the could-have-beens in my life
I often wonder:
Did I make the right choice?
Did I miss a road sign?
Am I on the right track?
CROSSROADS.
They happen all the time
Saying goodbye to some
Choosing only one..
Letting go, holding on..
Settling for now
But facing what must come..
Yes, in life we all reach a crossroad sometime
We make painful decisions
and take some risks as we pursue our dreams.
But one should not stay at the crossroads too long
For even the birds have to leave their nests sometime
and learn how to fly.
Life's road is a long and rough
and there are stretches when one has to do it alone
And should you meet the cross at the road
Be consoled!
Yes, more often than not
..the road less travelled  will surely bring you home.
Face the light and the shadow falls behind you..
Turn your back and the shadow stays in front of you.
Indeed the truth hurts
but it will surely set you free.
The bitter pangs of parting will give birth
to another moment called growing.
So grow on.... until it's time for you to move on
and face the crossroads again
Knowing that God loves you
and is in control of everything.
Be strong at the crossroads.
Embrace the cross at the road.
The Lord is at the cross
at the road...
at all your crossroads..

Prayers

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

G
od, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

Escape Pain Blindfolded With Naïveté

There are reasons you cannot fathom enough that you keep on denying them - reasons on choices, on why things happened and moving past it, such that no matter how objective you are about things, somehow you lose your sense of understanding (understanding in its very essence of having an open-mind and a heart ready for humility or acceptance).

here are reasons you cannot fathom enough that you keep on denying them - reasons on choices, on why things happened and moving past it, such that no matter how objective you are about things, somehow you lose your sense of understanding (understanding in its very essence of having an open-mind and a heart ready for humility or acceptance).

It's curious that you have wisdom learned from years of experience yet at some point you fail to use it and precariously acted back on what life has thrown at you; how you neglect what's reasonable and exhaust yourself in falsely justifying something illogical; and how you unknowingly led yourself to an inevitable pit of emptiness.

Life will always be full of reasons why things had to be, and carefully selecting which one/s to believe in and accept is the hard part. For me, the choice will always be what the heart innocently understands. People will always say never to let your heart dictate your mind, yet I'll still follow otherwise because it is for that very reason when the mind has knew of fear and you bind yourself that you'll find it hard to start again and let your heart do what it's suppose to do - choosing to love and be kind (in its truest form, that of a child's).

A Life Well-Remembered

14March 2012, yet another funeral for a friend's mom was attended. February of 2011, the life of a friend's father, from the same set of friends as the former, was also celebrated most sadly such that a month prior it was her mother's burial rites we observed.

H
as my life been trivial? Had it been of worth that in my deathbed  I can actually take pride on most of the moments lived?

February of 2011, the life of a friend's father, from the same set of friends as the former, was also celebrated most sadly such that a month prior it was her mother's burial rites we observed. Death, a time when people cry over a person's life that'll be surely missed. How will you know that you will be missed, that the life you spent will be well-remembered?

It must be consoling to know that there will be a single soul who'll weep should you go past this life; or even a single smile saying your life has been a significant one, that you've wasted no time during your existence.

A Life On A Leaf

Someday Somehow

What we had was something special and to endure a long period of sadness and being alone is all worth it because you're worth it. We fall in love at the same time but youth played with our hearts till you're no longer ready to fight for it when I was (and I seemed unable to pull my feelings together when you were).

We fall in love at the same time but youth played with our hearts till you're no longer ready to fight for it when I was (and I seemed unable to pull my feelings together when you were). The uncertainties in waiting is a foolish act that I choose. Should at the end of all these is still a solitary journey, then I'll embrace it knowing that I loved and deeply I did.

People may think I've wasted time spent in somewhat an endless pursuit of acceptance and having finally moved on, I must say I certainly did not. I may have let go of the chances to love again, but it's one noble choice I make knowing that love is about the fairness in giving yourself as a whole.

To brave through all these is an experience that'll help me collect the broken pieces and rebuild the whole that I once was - build someone better - scarred yet armoured with the hurts and lessons learned, who'll move forward ready to fall again (and fall deeper) somehow someday in His most perfect time.

Carry The Load For Sometime

Carry the pain, wallow in it for sometime and know that someday, somehow it will be more bearable. Realize that the experience of something negative and facing it right then and there, instead of letting it pass just so you've proved yourself to be tough (wrongly proven), is one strength you can recollect to endure further pain you might run in to in the morrow.

Wallowing in pain is experiencing the pain while it's there, it doesn't mean to dwell in it longer than you're suppose to. You know it has served its purpose when you've learned your lessons well - when you've cleared out your mind from what you mistakenly construed to be right. How will you realize what was right from wrong? That is when you've sat down, looked deep inside and have recollected the choices you made on whether they've been fair and have they made you truly happy, and after which, you know that you can make a truthful smile for them and the decisions you are about to make for the things you have doubts on, then you know it's over.
