Challenging Journey With Life

In our lifetime we met alot of people. Strangers become friends. Friends become family. Some just disappeared and we never heard anything back then. People come and go just like seasons changes. Few left great impact in our lives - happy, sad, painful memories - while others were just passerby trying to pull us down or lift us high. In the end, they are the reasons why we are here, how capable we are to face life, what we become is greatly influenced with these past events, relationships even hardships and misfortunes.

I often asked myself if I am blessed or cursed. I tried to take a peak of that road sign that says "End of the Race" but I always fail. No matter how well planned my life I wanted to be there are those detours and pit stops that either makes my journey worthy or worthless. When things get into me, I always find myself in the corner of my room crying my heart out letting the pillows absorb all my miseries and heartaches. I often have this I-Pity-Myself-Alone-Time. And at this crucial times in my life, I feel relieved and telling myself that things will be alright soon. Am I blessed? Yes, I am still blessed with family who never get tired to understand me, who loves me unconditionally despite all the mistakes I have done, who never doubt my capabilities and more importantly who still believes in me despite all my imperfections. I have few friends, whom randomly make me feel loved and cared. And those people whom I never knew, I haven't meet that for sure will give colors to my world. I am perfectly imperfect and permanently and inevitable flawed. 

Once in awhile I love traveling the challenges life have been given me because it just proves one important thing - I AM ALIVE! Being alive and having these moments of ups and downs is what makes the journeyreally worth traveling for. 

Live. Laugh. Love.

Butterfly..fly fly away.

In the depths of the jungle I saw a very beautiful butterfly flying freely from one flower to another. Its big flapping wings that radiates with the shining sun. Its unique colors that stood up from the rest of its kind. I was in awe  by its beauty so I decided to take it home with me.

Everyday I play with the butterfly. We run, jump and I even sing songs. Those are the happiest days of my life. Just knowing I got someone I could talk with, laugh with and even cry with. The most peaceful place is with this butterfly.

Days, months passes by I realized I've been keeping it for long. It got bored and lonely. I thought it needs more flowers so I planted more and nourished it with more love and care. One day, I am so excited to see the butterfly only to see that it was sitting in this big yellow flower looking to sad. There I know I must set it free. I was too selfish to have its time on me not realizing it needs to see the outside world. To mingle and have fun with it own kind. To freely enjoy the beauty of the life it have. And most especially to bring joy, love and happiness to others. With a heavy heart, I took it and set it free and I know it is the happiest day of the butterfly's life : the time it finally got its freedom.


... I woke up realizing it was just a dream. A dream that is so real that left prints in my pillow.
