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 enough to make you feel alive

You can find love by not depending on their appearance because you can only see their personality. You can focus on the things you are doing and not get distracted. You see people through the way they treat you and you can call them beautiful just by depending on what's in the inside. You will be able to be contented on what you have because you don't have to compare things whenever a new offer comes along. 

By being blind, you can actually SEE the true image of humanity.

Close your eyes and feel the world revolve around you. What do you feel? Close your eyes and forget about the things that have caught your attention and think. Close your eyes and don't judge the things that you see. Close your eyes and feel the darkness.

Listen carefully to the sounds around you. Listen carefully to what the others are saying, Listen carefully to the animals, listen carefully to the people talking. Listen carefully to the music. Listen carefully to yourself and don't mind the noises around.

Open your mouth and speak up. Speak up about how you feel when people treat you badly. Speak up when someone keeps on letting you down. Speak up when you're stuck so someone can offer you a helping hand. Speak up so they can hear your voice because... once you stay silent, then no one will ever know.

Hold out your hand, someone will take it. Hold out your hand because someone needs it. Hold out your hand and wipe the tears off someone's cheeks, Hold out your hand and entangle them with someone's hand to make them feel secured. Hold out your hand for the world.

Sometimes, you don't have to see everything because you can use other senses. You are not alone. No one is ever alone.Don't ever think that you're alone because honestly you're the only one who makes yourself feel isolated.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

LISTEN CAREFULLY.

SPEAK UP.
AND

HOLD OUT YOUR HAND.
