It’s Okay To Cry

It’s okay to cry. It’s okay that there are times where you feel weak. It’s even okay to feel damaged and hurt enough that we lose confidence in ourselves or this world at times. It’s okay to scream at the top of your lungs in aguish, feel an hopelessness in the pit of your stomach, and just want to disappear. We’re humans facing a reality of a darken world where all we can be is lost and fall down to our knees is the readiness to give up.

Sometimes it’s better to admit that you have painful scars hiding behind a personified mask of a smile, for a fake smile is like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. In a place where people are killing each other each day, where people are dying and saying goodbye for the last time, where hearts are shattering into broken pieces, and where bad things seem to always happen to good people; you don’t always have to be strong and look perfect as the pain of suffering eats away at you inside. 

It’s okay to cry. We already know that the world changes in a instant and life could surprise you and give you happiness the next day; but we’re all still going to have bad days. Sometimes, we need to let out our frustrations and feel sadness so we can eventually move on and appreciate the beauty of when a real smile etches across your face.

I Want To Believe

I want to believe in true love; a love so wonderful and powerful that it will last forever. A happily ever after that won’t end in divorce, in heartbreak. I want to believe that growing up doesn’t mean giving up the things you love for the old mundane. I want to believe in the type if kindness with no strings attached and no expectations of something in return. I want to believe in passion and drive. In compassion and respect. I want to believe in the triumph of good over evil; in the existence of justice. I want to believe that distance will make love grow, not disappear. That distance will make the heart grow fonder, not weaker. I want to believe in honesty and loyalty, in faith and in hope. I want to believe in forgiveness, in fate, and in destiny. But most of all, I want to believe in happiness. I want to believe that at the end of the day, we can find a reason to smile; a reason to be happy, even if for just a second.

The Uncertainty of The Future.

How many choices do you make end up making a day? How about a month? How about a year? And how do you know that these choices that you make are leading you to a road where the destination is love,  happiness, sadness, darkness, or loneliness.

Truth is, I don’t think anyone can honestly say they know what their future really has in store for them. As much as we try to have control over our lives, this world will prove to you won’t always be able too. You will always face these unexpected challenges that you once thought were only true in movies and story books. You will find unexpected people becoming part of your life; some that will be a bigger part of life than you originally planned and some that you will wish that you never met. You will lose people in your life that you never thought would become only memories and strangers and you’ll find yourself smiling at those things that you never thought you would ever experience. 

The future is full of uncertainties. We can try to make this perfect plan and carefully make a blueprint on how to make the right choices in life, but sometimes we just have to be willing to take some risks. To take paths that may seem scary and will eventually lead to a dead end. To not be afraid to make choices because they seem to lead to roads that are unfamiliar. To realize, sometimes we have to make a choice in what path to take, and realize it through no matter how difficult it may seem, cause you will never know where you can eventually end up.
