And so I lie silent and deep...

Reflecting upon life:

Lesson #1: You can learn to love. Love isn't an innate action of a person. It has to be well grounded from trust and eventually, understanding and appreciation. Loving someone or something entails total openness to the absolute possibility of the what if and what if not. It takes great courage, even more, to try to love with only the hope of "eventually, I will learn."

Lesson #2: You can make things happen. A person has an enormous freedom and freewill to choose his path. Despite the outside factors and stressors, one can make things happen if he wills to do so and exerts, with great intensity, his effort upon making things possible. The secret? self understanding and self control.

Lesson #3: You can choose to be happy. Happiness as many would claim is not an emotion, but a choice. To choose to be happy is allowing yourself to embrace the world and its ordeals despite its imperfection, frustrations and incompatibilities. To choose to be happy is directing yourself towards more light and profound road everyday of your life. There's got to be more to life than bitterness and frustrations. Never forget that you only have one chance, one slim chance to live your life to its fullest and every action contributes to your destination. You can always chose your actions.

Lesson #4: People change. Through the years, experiences of either good or bad, pains, love, everything every person will experience in his life will be the very ingredients towards molding himself/herself to what he/she would be in the long run. However, there are really some people who wait for a major event until they allow themselves to change. They wait until a heart-pounding wound and pain would embrace their lives and make it miserable and by that time, recovery is but late and slow... and the pain? beyond fathomable comprehension.

Lesson #5: People change, especially when they get hurt. 'Tis perhaps is the reason why good old friends bringing their relationship to the next level end up to be strangers after heartaches.

Lesson #6. It will always be hard to pretend. Pretending is such a phony game. It's a losers haven, cowards battle ground. Stop pretending if you are right now. There's no way out, but admitting it yourself. It is a virus that slowly kills your from the inside and too late to cure when it reaches your sight.

These are just a few of the lessons I learned after how many days of encountering with ordinary people, friends. Experience that have kept me alert of my undertakings and allowed me to comprehend smoothly the situations that surrounds me every single day. I am glad, I am starting to reconnect with myself---- self awareness.
