What a whirlwind of emotions! Recently, I have learned and became aware of selflessness, vulnerability and living life at the present moment. I thought mastering my emotions was enough to keep me going. Actually, I just thought I have mastered it. I realized that no matter how great things are “sometimes, something so precious can be snatched away from you in any moment” no matter what the reason is.
I have dealt with confusion, self esteem and pain. I told myself that the only solution to my problem was to handle things differently the way I used to before. I could easily walk away from it but then I found myself feeling that there is more to it than having the option of letting go. It took me a lot of courage to confront and to say what I really feel. Yes folks! Finally, I learned how to cry and be in that moment, no holds barred, and just letting it all out! I grieved for my losses and mourned for myself. I felt really well afterwards and I’m grateful. Handling my frustrations wasn’t easy but then I learned how to make it short-lived. God taught me how to see the person next to you as a blessing, no matter how they did you wrong. So I told myself that I should value the purpose of it and see life worthwhile. I’m still on the verge of acceptance that life won’t be the same anymore. I also learned that in every problem there are options that you can work with, it’s not about pushing what you want or desperately choosing the path where it won’t hurt more but for you to give it a chance, try it out and give your all. So at the end of the day, you could tell yourself that you have lived life without regrets. Why stop something so great? Point is love is not for the faint hearted.
If you believe in something so great, you’ll do everything to make it work. Yes, you shouldn’t stop anyone from achieving their dreams but dreams and goals in life shouldn’t be a hindrance on love because love and dreams can work side by side if you let it. We can have it both. It should have that one goal, no matter how difficult life is at the end of the day, after the work, the drama of your individual lives, you’ll opt to be together and that’s what you call support. My experience and the people I met last night inspired me to write this because I saw pure love and support for one another and they are an old couple, who I must say is experiencing the toughest time in their relationship but they’re together walking hand in hand with the hurdles that are given to them. They said, not directly though, “Chase your dreams and happiness, don’t be afraid. We only live once. Be selfless and choose to make people happy other than yourself”. Most importantly, I learned that we make our lives difficult in not choosing to live in the now. We overanalyze it and we end up screwing things up and that is the greatness of the present moment. If it’s God’s will to end it, it will end. Oh, and that phrase Carpe Diem? Make it your mantra.
It is my prayer that we find that one person who would love us and support us in our frailties, our dreams. But of course it should be quid pro quo. It feels good to have someone who’ll love you for your beauty and your quirks but we have to make sure that we are complete before diving into the unknown, short-comings and all. Let us recognize the feelings of others, be thankful, appreciate, be honest and open-minded. Most importantly, have faith in other people.
Let us all embrace the beauty of life and that is to be hurt, to learn, to love and to be loved.
“Let’s stop and consider God’s wonders”
