"The road to being an adult is never ending. My father at the age of 73 is still realizing some things on his own. When we think we know everything that's when tragedy strikes. That's when our souls and brains turn into floss."- Celine LopezI am not really that fond of her but i read her article on Phil.Star last Jan.'06 and i cannot help but agree. It is not just about new years and resolutions. it is all about learning about the world around us and most importantly ourselves. Forgiving ourselves for the mistakes we've made and likewise, those who have wronged us. Things that hurt us are only there for us to learn. And the things that make us happy are there to make us realize that there is just so much more to come.
And i absolutely love this line from that article - "And remember, don't be too hard on yourself. Someone once said that the life you want to change is actually a life someone else wants to have."
I doubt that too many times. My wacked up family "issues" are just too wired that it seems like it was taken right out of a Filipino soap opera - full of antagonists and a way too complicated story line.hehe. But like i always say, God doesn't give us problems we cannot solve. And what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. Well i could go on and on with all the inspirational quotations that may apply in our situation. i dunno but sometimes, when i get to read them, it lightens up the burden even for a bit. these lines actually help!!!!:)
Another would be crying your hearts out especially with someone that you know will understand. I have always kept a strong facade in front of Mama and even with Audie and Angel. it is hard but i got used to it. i got used to it so much that there were times that i actually believe myself - that evrything is okay and that i can still take it. Sometimes you just have to really psyche yourself and you would be surprise with the results. it will all just be nothing to you. After the pouring out of emotions and the crying (i did this with Mel...hehe...Thanx beybi!) - it actually feels good.:)
But of course nothing can beat a sincere and honest to goodness prayer!!!:) this has been tried and tested and it never fails..:)
My life right now is somewhat on hold. I have so many plans...but i have to put them on hold first...do something because i need to do it not because i want to do it..but that's for now. I know pretty soon i will be able to do what i love to do. Start pursuing all the goals that i have planned for my life. I know in God's perfect timing everything will fall into place. Getting to that point in my life would be a sweet sweet moment...sometimes it is good to experience hardships and trials, disappointments and heartaches before you experience pure bliss and joy - because after those bitter moments you will get to really appreciate every little thing -- every little blessing that God will give you.
