Making Life Choices: Freedom

Let me tell you a short story about a girl who had been in a fight with herself. Choosing between her friends since it's the last time they'll be together and it's her best friend's birthday, or her family who didn't approve of the location they were going to.

In the end, she went with her friends anyway because she trusts them They enjoyed themselves and laughters were shared but despite all that, the girl was still a bit worried about what awaits her when she arrives home.

After a while, it was time for them to go home from the cold spring. While on her ride home, she was bracing herself for the unlimited nagging of her family but...after a while, a smile flashed across her face. Why? Because she knew it will all be worth it. She had the best time of her life and she knew she made the right decision. She was just over-thinking.

She went home and no one nagged her at all because she sticked to her promise that they will go home early. And that's no problem for her family at all because she's home safe and sound.

Sometimes, you don't have to play it safe.
Sometimes, you can just get out of your own little cocoon and spread your wings.
Sometimes, those things that worry you doesn't even exist.
Sometimes, you just have to let it go and never hold back.

It is okay to choose your own happiness for a while but sometimes, you need to have limits. Like the girl in the story, she didn't get nagged at because she still went home early. If we abuse that, then I believe things won't turn out pretty great, agreed?

What is freedom for you?
You might say freedom means
-Limitless
-Going beyond the border
-No restrictions

But you can only get that meaning in the dictionary or thesaurus. In real life, you can only achieve freedom if you have earned it. You can't be free when you've disobeyed the laws; you can't be free if you're in a nutshell; you can't be free if you keep on hiding...you can never be free if you isolated yourself from all the bright side in this world. You can never ever be free if you're facing the negative side. Turn around and be positive. Fun things in this world are limitless.

When you're making life choices, always consider these things:
Will  it be worth it?
Will I be happy in the end?
What will this cost me?

and most importantly

Never forget that people will get affected with your decisions,too.

Don't fuss about what the perfect decision will be. Because honestly, in whatever decision you'll do, it will never be perfect. Yes, some will be unforgettable but they are unforgettable because ALL THE ENJOYABLE THINGS IN LIFE ARE ACTUALLY UNPLANNED.

This is life. We can never know how our life story goes until our very last day of existence. Make every road you take unforgettable and make every page of your life full of laughter. You can never know how our own very lives can inspire millions.

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

Maybe Life Isn't As Bad As You Think It Is

We all think that life is a challenge. An RP game that we are all a part of. We go through things that we think are our last challenge because we're just gonna pause it right there and not even think of a way to get over it. And now you're stuck at looking at a flat wall, and it's staring back at you. A tough life, that's what we all have. We have problems that we think will never arrive at our doorstep, but it did. When something goes wrong, we think that we rode the wrong train and there's no turning back. But maybe that's just how it's supposed to be. We've focused enough on the normal things that we didn't even wonder what's behind a mountain. We think that we're safe if we do things normally, and by doing things the normal way, there's nothing that can waver the norms. When we look at people smiling and laughing, we wish that our life will turn out to be like theirs, and we're not even thinking that maybe they have their own

If You Have Thoughts About Suicide (Like Me)

If you have been crying in your room all night wishing to end everything, If you have been waking up thinking if you can make it through today, If your thoughts are louder than the sound of your friends pounding and endlessly knocking on your door begging you to open up, If you have ever faked your smiles and your "i'm okay's" so you don't end up crying while telling someone how you really feel, If you have ever felt like a burden to anyone that you think the best way is to disappear, and If you've ever felt too much that you need to feel something burning on your skin to remind you that you are alive, you are not alone. I thought I was going to be okay. I was healing. I was meeting with my psychiatrist once every month. I buy my medicines every week and take them regularly and on time. I was on track. I was going to be okay. Or so I thought. My family does not understand "depression" and "anxiety". They don't understand w
