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.

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...
