i think

After a while you learn the subtle difference

between holding a hand and chaining a soul

and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning

and company doesn’t mean security

And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts

and presents aren’t promises

And you begin to accept your defeats

with your head up and your eyes open

with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child

And you learn to build your dreams on today’s road

because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans

and future has a way of falling down in midflight

After a while you learn that

even sunshine burns if you get too much

So plant your own garden

and decorate your own soul

instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers

And you learn that you really can endure

that you really are strong

and you really do have worth

And that with every tomorrow comes the dawn

AND WITH EVERY GOODBYE YOU LEARN..

funny, but i’m now at the point of actually thinking what i really wanna do in life, and realizing that i totally don’t like what i’m doing now. i’m also having second thoughts about the profession i said i wanna pursue. is it really what i want? this dilemma of choosing what you want to do is supposed to be college-y, right? but then again, maybe it’s part of growing up and discovering your purpose and really pursuing what makes you happy, what field would enable you to really express your true self and maximize your potentials and not just earn money that you would eventually spend on things that are supposed to help you be happy. not just earn a title that you think would bring you on top of the world. is life really about that? i know it’s not; in fact, we all do. why then do we allow ourselves to be caged in this scenario? is it because it’s just the way of the world? is it because we’re afraid to get out of our box? is it because we’re so comfortable in what we have now that we’re so afraid to take any risk?

what happened to life?
