I've had my share of ups and downs - been there, done that. I made mistakes. All people do. But the important thing is to learn from those mistakes and know how to stand up again. Paulo Coelho was right. I learned that you have to take risks, otherwise, you wouldn't understand the meaning of life fully. Though on the other hand, taking risks is not the only way to do it. You need to set goals, you need to have a gameplan. Looking back, I realized how childlike, how immature and how irresponsible I was. How overly eager to try out things, how impatient I was to get things done, and most of all, HOW MUCH TIME I'VE WASTED ON NONSENSICAL THINGS, AND MISSING OUT ON EVERY GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT CAME MY WAY.
So I learned...
...that above all, God and faith in Him is the most important.
...my age has nothing to do with how I should think and behave.
...TRUST IS THE KEY TO A HAPPY RELATIONSHIP.
...everything takes time. Patience is a virtue.
...you have to see everything as a blessing. And be thankful for it.
...people come and go, it will hurt you deeply, but on the bright side you'll know who's real and who's not.
...that no matter how dysfunctional your FAMILY is, they would always be worth your love.
...if I had not took this one great risk, I would never be this happy. With all the help of prayers, guidance, and soul-searching, I finally came to the conclusion that if I let this pass - I will be left with a thousand what-ifs and what-could-have-beens. I know my faith in God and the goodness of people will help me all throughout this journey. In the end, in case it wouldn't be a happy ending, it would be nice to know that I got what I've always wanted - and more.
Live. Laugh. Love. Pray. Forget the pain, never hold grudges, hold on for your own happy ever after.
