READ THIS AND YOU’LL KNOW SUMTHIN about..__^
How silly i am.. i have lived in this world for what.. 18 years.. and it is only now that i realized how lucky i am..in every sense of the word ‘everything’..
You may think that im boasting..hell no! that’s not my point..let me finish first..
It was like a month ago when i found out something that made a significant twist on how i view life itself.. you see.. we always think that we need this..we want that.. we should have this.. we should have that.. Am i right? We always wanted to have these things to complete..what? our day? our week? our get-up? our new collection? I won’t be a hypocrite here.. I myself gets materialistic sometimes..
Nevertheless, I was made to realize something.. something that I should’ve realized long before..
Not all we want in life, we can have. I mean.. who in this world can ever say that she/he is completely happy? You can’t deny that there’s always that empty space.. the missin piece.. a puzzle that you’ve been trying to complete.. but you just can’t find in your brain the right piece..that’s why we keep on searchin for the answer..on what could fill that certain emptiness in our lives..
Sometimes, I myself gets envious of other people whom i think have the best and grandest of everything in life.. I’m thinkin..what if we swap places.. what would i be? Geez! I bet I could have every new Levis jeans there is.. the newest gadgets.. plus the kool cars.. ill just name it.. i can have it..
But will it make me happy? Until when.. Tomorrow? Or the day after?
And,suddenly, i thought of the simple things that i have.. and compared it with what those primadonna have..
I have the most loving & ever supportive pops.. I have the greatest hero of my life–ma mom.. a sister who eventhough gets insane sometimes, defend me against those people who undermines me.. a cousin, named jian carl who makes me laugh (at the most unexpected moments) with his completely naive comments yet the most sincere ones ..my uncles who raised me like their own child.. my lolo&lola who took care of me since birth.. ma relatives who have always there to extend their help..ma close friends who are always there to catch me if ever i fall and boost ma self esteem whenever it sags below sea level.. *for every pinch in the ears, for every slap that landed on my face, for all the LETANIA that ive heard, for every slash of a leatherbelt that ive got.. for every wound that have healed into a scar..I asked myself.. was I happy livin this life of mine?
Unconsciously, i felt a warm liquid building up in the corner of my eyes..
I realized.. that LIFE CANT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!!!
Yes. I am happy.
I am grateful for every lil things that i have.. Im thankful that I wake up in the morning realizing that there are so many people who love and cares for me.. I am thankful for the air that i breathe..for the beautiful sunshine that welcomes a new day.. for the thought that I can make a difference in other people’s lives.. for every trials that I have and will have.. I am thankful that I am ALIVE and livin this life.. not perfect.. but hey! we can always make it a better one..
Because God will always be there.. He has never abandoned me.. nor forsaken me..
Though I wasn’t faithful to Him all the time.. though I wasn’t worthy of His neverending Love.. though I have stumbled a lot of times.. and made a U-TURN at the middle of it..
Still.. He has embraced me with all His heart.. kept me safe under His hands..directed me to the right track.. And made me see the beauty of life!!!!
This is the irony of LiFe..
And I couldn’t ask for more!!!!!! :-p
