..”Sometimes, people come into our lives and willingly, we let them in. We open ourselves to
them and we bring them close to our hearts like, in that moment, they just found a home. But a home
is not what they really seek for but instead, a place for temporary dwelling. They are not meant to stay,
rather, just to hang out. And after quite some time, they’ll leave. Whether we are consciously or
unconsciously aware of their heading off our lives, still, we cannot deny the fact that we can’t have
them forever, or for as long as we want because sometimes, people just happen to pass by our lives, but
we can’t have them to stand by us. Undeniably, nothing is really permanent but change...”
..”Having someone around on a plain, boring day is the best benefit of a friend. You’ll have
someone to talk with, to laugh with and even to cry with. A friend is like a dark chocolate for even if it
gets bitter sometimes, the natural sweetness can still be felt and in the end, it’ll still taste like heaven.
No matter how many trials a friendship may have gone through, still, the bond will not be ruined and
the closeness will remain in tact. Indeed, a friend today will always be a friend tomorrow…”
..”When you say you’ve moved on, it doesn’t show how strong you really are. Sometimes, a
person’s real strength comes when he’d been through letting go because you can never let go of
something or someone if in the first place, they haven’t been yours but we can always move on with
things even those without our grasp. It’s just our human nature to feel a more painful feeling when we
face letting go than what we feel when we are moving on. So when you cried a river of tears when you
were challenged to move on, just think of an ocean of tears you might cry when you had to surpass
letting go…”
..”We don’t need to be always in a hurry. We don’t need to skip from an unfinished task to a
new task in which we are not certain if it’s going to work. We don’t have to push the time forward so
that everything would change in just a blink of an eye. What’s the rush? Some people in poor health
desperately wish that they still have plenty of time in this world and yet, here you are not spending
your time appropriately. Could you at least for a little while think about lost moments, opportunities
and relationships because of your time mismanagement? That would probably take a long while, right?
So, take a break, have a meaningful pause and think about it…”
..”Never put yourself off the limits. Never say you can do everything or you can have whatever
you want because a man as we are, there are many things that we are not capable of. At some point in
our lives, we’ll have an Achilles heel and whether we like it or not, all we can do is to accept that bitter
truth. It’s not wrong to say that you’re weak because sometimes, admitting that you’re not that strong
shows how strong you really are for not pushing yourself beyond the limits and not pretending that
you can do something when the truth is you really can’t…. We are not perfect, God made us as such
because he wants to remind us that without Him, we cannot stand alone. A smooth-sailing
relationship with God is the best refuge we could ever have when everything around us falls into
pieces…”
..”Losing a loved one does not mean that you also have to lose yourself on the process of
moving on with that tragic episode of your life. At first, of course, you have all the right to be sad and
weep for your loss but it’s definitely pathetic if you can hardly live your life without them. A thing lost
can never be regained especially if it’s in the will of the Lord. So, when you are currently experiencing
such trial, don’t ever ask God why of all people, you were the one whom He had taken a loved one.
Instead, be thankful that although you lost a person so dear to you, He is always ready to give you His
helping hand whenever you call. When your life gets a little messy because of problems, don’t say,
“God, I have a big problem,” rather, say, “Problem, I have a big God.” And if you do, you’ll make an
exceptionally tough person out of you. Tough enough to withstand any obstacles and pound any
impediments...”
..”It’s not always that we have to take life seriously. What is fun for, if you just won’t have it?
Life gets a little better when you know how to have fun, despite life’s constant struggles…”
..”Everyone gets old but not everyone grows up...”
..”Love someone at his worst and you’ll know what the best love is. It’s not about “who” we
love but “how” we love.
..”People are vulnerable yet they often seek pain. Like, we know it’d make us sick, but we love
being in the rain…”
..”Of all the things that I’m capable of, I’m always thankful that I could love. Love’s a gift; we
should all have it...”
..”At some point in our lives, we have to wake up. Forget our vivid daydreams and superficial
wishful thinking. We cannot live on the clouds if we can’t face the sun. Reality is just within our reach,
we just have to dwell on it…”
..”Cry if you want to, weep if you have to but never ever treat yourself as a good-for-nothing
waste. Don’t let the world pull you down; instead hold your head high so you won’t face the ground.
Nobody could ever beat you, not unless you let it...”
