Forgetting

"Sometimes, the hardest part of forgetting someone so close to your heart is forgetting as well the people close to that person who became close to you"

We sometimes need to forgo the memories we shared with people who became close to us in order for us to move on. May not make much sense but if it would be the answer to step forward, its a choice that needs to be made.

It will be difficult. Hard..

It's not mandatory, but an option. I myself feels that I will contradict my own post. The more I try to convince myself of forgetting, the more I just remember the days we shared. I guess, refocusing myself on other things will do the trick. One thing for sure, they will never be forgotten...

Seasons Greeting!

Happy Holidays!!! ~mrSilence

Be Free!

"I hope before our time ends, we'll be able to stretch our arms wide open, leap on the ground and shout to the top of our lungs...I'm Free! "

Free! Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you know that you are free?

In this modern world, being free takes another level in its definition. A lot of things enslave us nowadays. Debts, not working relationship, weak faith, miscommunication, illiteracy, poverty and the list goes on..

Is being free a choice we make? Or was it a predefined pattern which drowned us to what we are now? I'll bite the concept in a 90-10 partition. I am giving "choice" the big slice due to the fact that we were given the Will to decide on the actions we make. Regardless on what force enslaves you, the power to break out is given within. Now, to dwell in this corruption, is a choice you make. The way you stand on your choice will determine if you'll be victorious in the end.

On the other hand, I'm putting 10% on the uncontrollable circumstances in our life since these factors are given in an as is basis. Example of this is the choice of family, status in life, birth abnormality etc. However, this are not determinants on what you'll be in the future. They will play a major role no question about that, but the way you'll interact on the given stimulus will make the difference. Two individuals can receive each a million and be given a day to use it...at the end of the day I'm pretty much sure the handling will never be the same.

Contemplating, I am still far away to being free. Not that I'm doing nothing. I still have a lot of walls to conquer. And the first wall I am working on is my own self. Wish me luck. I hope before our time ends, we'll be able to stretch our arms wide open, leap on the ground and shout to the top of our lungs...I'm Free!

Remnants

" Don't live in a "What if" world. You'll never want to find yourself left behind by time..."

Sometimes, no matter how you convince yourself that you have moved on, there will come a point that you'll just find yourself staring blankly and asking yourself the silly question...what if?

Personally, I have a prejudiced perception about this. I love day dreaming. For in my imaginary world, I am able to grasp the things I usually will not have control in the real world. I can enact my idea of a perfect relationship. What's good about this, is the momentary joy it brings to whatever baggage you carry and healing it delivers within.

On the other side of the story, indulging yourself with the silly question will be like burying your own self on the ground. Stationary and without growth. To detain yourself in the "What if" world is a big no no.

The remnants can never be erased because this is a part of you already. It will be just a matter on how you'll divert this remains within you. Don't live in a "What if" world. You'll never want to find yourself left behind by time...

Time is now

"Delay complicates life."

Too much thinking will lead you nowhere. Some of the best times in life often happens when we become spontaneous with the situation. Allowing oneself to flow on the current of events. Moving without thinking about the outcome.

Clock is ticking. Time wasted will never return again. If so, why are we pending our self in forgiving others? Why are we putting a halt in achieving what we know will makes us happy? What's keeping us?

I just noticed, happy people think less and act more. Delay complicates life. And there's a big difference with delaying and waiting for the right timing. The more delay you make, the more complicated life becomes. However, willingness is a good start.

The time to be happy is now. Not later. Not tomorrow. Choose not to delay myFriend. . . .

Why?

"Be reminded that stupid people also gets weary and blind ones often get stacked to someone they never intend to be with."

Sometimes having the truest intention won't let you win a relation. If a person does not have even the slightest affection towards the other, that's stupidity on the part of the one who loves and continues, while a lost on the one being loved who looks afar and remain blinded.

Be reminded that stupid people also gets weary and blind ones often get stacked to someone they never intend to be with. So why does this happen? I guess for us to learn and appreciate. Learn from the mistakes we make and appreciate the things that happens and comes to us.

Ah, the beauty of mistakes. Such a phenomenon that marvels me. See, there are mistakes we commit in our life that once we learn a lesson from, we never attempt to do the same act because we know in the end we'll only get hurt. Hence, we do the right thing.

However, there are certain instances of mistakes that we obviously know will only profit us pain, but we tend to do the same act over and over. Why? Either we're still hopefully stupid, or lost, blinded by our idealism...

"...vices extends life. Too much clean living is not good at all. So live in balance, myFriends."

I would like to thank myCadiologist, for understanding my sentiments yesterday. Seeing that I am not satisfied with the first impression diagnosis, myCardiologist immediately scheduled me for an echocardiogram (also popularly known as 2D echo or cardiac ultrasound).

Fortunately, every thing's normal. I guess, this really was just stress. Over fatigue..

Since I am still lucky that no major risk is manifesting in my body, I would like to appeal to all the people who will be able to read this post to please do take care of your health. As my stand to health still goes, prevention is better than cure!

However, sometimes I just wonder...vices extends life. Too much clean living is not good at all. So live in balance, myFriends.

Bitter-sweet reality

"A sad part of being a problem solver is having my own dilemmas unresolved. Such a bitter-sweet reality. However, should this became my purpose of existence, won't it be the most noble irony we could have?"

I am very thankful to those people whom have entrusted their problems to me. I consider each one of you guys a blessing. Blessings in disguise! ( kidding aside ) :)

Seriously, bringing up a concern to someone is not an easy task (especially those make or break, awkward situation). I so much knew the feeling when merely uttering the problem to somebody can lighten the burden being carried. The relief of having shared a thing that bothers to someone you know will understand is priceless.

Toilet Bowl

"My appearance did not matter to them, but my purpose eludes the form! "

Recently, I have unravelled a God given gift. I am not sure on what term to use in order to describe it, however, I thought of using an inanimate object to associate this God given talent. A toilet bowl.

I have discovered it one time I was able to chat with myHSCrush. She previously confide to me her problem with her husband and her reasons on going abroad. At one point of the conversation, I jokingly told her that I would write a post about our conversation. Poof! There it was, in front of me. The hidden gift I had all the while.

The situation of listening to other people's problem is not new to me. Topics range from financial difficulties, love and fidelity issue (ehem) , dreams and plans, personality and insight concerns and other issues just to name a few.

I love listening to their thoughts and the things that stir in their mind when I so much knew that by merely lending an open ear, reserving a few minutes of my time and giving my personal thoughts about the situation creates an aura of calmness, relief and security to them.

Such a fulfilment to me when at the end of the day, I know I was able to help someone even through my simple way of receiving all the shits they carry. My appearance did not matter to them, but my purpose eludes the form!
