Choose: My Happiness or Yours?



We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision.

You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay?
You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better?
You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer?


Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it. 

But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not.

But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they may not be happy because you declined their offer but sometimes, they should understand that. They should understand that they don't have to control you over something they want, that's what friends are, right? 
It is true that it's not that easy but...think about it...They will get used to you as someone who just goes with the flow and take advantage of it. Why not change a little and try seeing things your way? Make them see that you can be the boss of yourself as well.

Changing is indeed hard, but like what they say, "Change is the only constant thing in this world." Why not spread your wings a little? Show them that side of yours that's never been seen by anyone. Make a change. Chase your happiness and not just force it to come. We make our own happiness and that's that. No one can say otherwise.

You wanna be a teacher? Then be a teacher.
You wanna help someone out? Then don't hesitate to give a helping hand.
You wanna make a difference? Then go for it.

Sometimes, we just need to look at the positive side of things and never jump out to the negative side. What if you're just over-thinking it, right? We just have to change our what if's to I know's.

I know they'll understand.
I know they'll still be there for me.
I know they'll never leave.

All we need is understanding. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ruined.

We all have these moments when we tell ourselves that our life's ruined. It might be because of a book, a movie, series, talk shows, or anything that we sank our hearts and feelings into. And it just happened to me...AGAIN. Here I am typing in my blog at 3am because I just paused a series that I am watching, I didn't just pause it, I closed that VLC media player and heaved out a stressed laugh because that series was ruining my life. I know that we all got disappointed from the wrong decisions that our favourite characters make and how impeccable their bad timing is, but maybe that's what's making the story more interesting. What if our life's a movie and people have been watching it? What if they get the same reaction we do when we get depressed, sad, or even happy with whatever the main character does? What if the voices in our head are actually the voices of the people watching over our life story? I have thought about that too, it sounds interesting but it...

Hello College, Goodbye High School

April 4, 2014, the day when we finally graduated. It seems like it was only yesterday when we first stepped into our classroom. Days do go by fast, huh? While our graduation song was playing in the background, almost all of us couldn't sing because we were already crying. Parents and guardians were in front of us and after singing our song, we gave them roses and that's when all of us broke into crying. To be honest, I have seen the most beautiful moment I could have seen in my entire life. Everyone was smiling with tears in their eyes and everyone was hugging one another. Even our teachers were teary-eyed. We all said our thanks and apologized to the ones that we've hurt. Our past teachers came, too. Nothing could have been better than that. Today I woke up and realized that I can never study to our school ever again. I won't see the same faces that I have seen everyday in that school. And that school's name is Conperey. Then I also realized that I won't s...

Being Blind

Most of them say that being blind is hard. You wouldn't know where you are, you wouldn't know what's the color of this and that, you would't know how amazing earth is, you'll see nothing but darkness... But being blind doesn't mean you don't have any chances of living the good life in this world. You have the ears to listen, the nose to smell, the mouth to speak, and the skin to feel, and maybe, just maybe, that could be enough. You can listen to nature surrounding you. The rushing of the river, the chirping of the birds... You can smell what you're cooking and make it a perfect dish because you can smell the bad ones from the good ones... You can speak up your mind and also ask people for assistance because you can't really see them but you know they are there... And you have the skin to feel the wind sweeping on your face, the gentle touch of a person guiding you, the softness and roughness of things, and that's already enoug...
