roads

*lights out* im feeling a wee bit romantic right now. ok, no, scrap that. let's see. what do i write about today?

Failure? Disappointments? Frustration? All of us have been through, if not one, all forms of let-downs. At one point of our lives, we must have faced disappointment, suffered a failure, or felt frustration. I know I have, and not one time, but many. It is a part of life, the part where everyone goes through and say, "life isn't fair!". Well, it might be true, life might not be fair. But that's short-term thinking. Look at life as a whole. What would it be, if it were just a string of successes? We each travel life's bumpy roads, we each go our own way - some are bumpier than the rest, and some less than others. It is these bumps, these obstacles, these barriers, that presents us with one of the greatest satisfactions we will ever experience. Im serious! Have u ever tried flying a kite? u know how hard it can be to fly one? when it does go up, theres nothing much to do except hold the string and watch it. So what makes it so fun? its the feeling u get when u look up at it and think, "i got it up there, even though i thought it was impossible at first." Now think, if u can get a kite up just like that, where will the fun be? what is the point of even flying a kite? Its the same with life. Life isnt about the end or outcome, its about the journey. And its not about the smoothe, one stop, direct journey. It's about the journey that tkaes ages, that has to go for detours, and that has to stop at so many places because at times, the road is just impenetrable. That, my friends, is what life is all about.

Another thing about life, no matter how it may not seem so - it IS fair. It might deprive u of what u want most at this moment, but it always gives back. When one door closes, 2 other doors open. Life isnt a straight journey. It is full of turns and junctions, and at each point, u have to make a choice of which way to go. But because u can't see very far ahead, life is sometimes kind enough to close one way completely, because it knows you are definitely going to chose that way, when the other way has so much more to offer. So never fret when u dont get what u want, because maybe, just maybe, it might be life's way of giving u the best it has. Consider yourself lucky when u fail, because it opens up so many doors for u. I know this from experience. ;)
