I have been thinking for the past days, for what life can offer ahead of me.  There are so many things happened. Some happened abruptly and unintentionally. There are things that I have to leave behind and face a new beginning. There are times that I would look back when I was under my parents care. Not minding anything, carefree. When problems hit me, I would just stay home, be close to my mom's side, and I would feel comforted. Now, things has changed. Mom is too far away to console me. You have to be strong and firm that you have to do it on your own, otherwise you'll fail. You have to decide on your own. trying to weigh things, asking yourself how and why did it happened. Yes, they say that shortcomings are essential to ones life, for us to learn and grow along the way. These essentials are a bit difficult to play, you have to even think twice to make sure winning is on your side. Sometimes we need to get hurt in order to feel. We need to fail for us to learn how to succeed. But giving up is definitely not an option.  How can you achieve your goals when you have stopped trying? As long as one can still breathe, it means life doesn't end there. As for me, I really don't know what is there for me tomorrow, or the next day. All I have to do is to live each day at a time. Be thankful for everything I have, and be thankful to people I love, for tomorrow might not come.
