Strength.

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. 

Finding strength to rise from a drastic fall, motivation to continue, power to fuel ourselves. And the source? Sometimes, it's rather sad, but true, that hard work doesn't equate to results, doesn't it? Regardless of the social stigmatism. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. At the peak, the only direction we have, if the status quo isn't maintained, is down. But it doesn't mean that all ends there, does it? What happened to facing challenges like the headstrong individuals we are? Or living to fight another day? No, it isn't the end. It isn't. Rather, obstacles that we've to leap over to traverse the rocky path ahead.

It is always compared between, the cowardly actions of the individual and the ostrich. But like the ostrich which chooses to delude itself by burying it's head as an 'escape' from it's natural predator, isn't it better to be in the dark some of the times? Rather than the "I choose not to see you" mentality, why not the "I know I am able to know what you're doing but I choose to ignore it." train of thought? Yeah, why not. Why not take things into stride, and emerge smiling? It's hard, but it's worth a try.


We've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what we've got, and remember what we had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from mistakes, but never regret.

Today is Tomorrow's Memory.

Sometimes we see things in color,
But at times they appear in black & white, 
Sometimes we succumb to the darkness, 
But we return to bathe in the light, 
Sometimes we do things considered wrong,
Even though we know what's right, 
Sometimes we crumble in weakness,
But the time comes to unleash our might,
Sometimes we cower in fear,
But deep inside we're brave enough to fight,
Most of the time we're very perceptive,
Other times we lose sight,
Sometimes our judgments are cloudy,
But mostly they're clear and bright,
Sometimes we're cruel for no reason,
But most of the time,we know how to be polite,
Sometimes we think we're not good enough,
But our presence alone would suffice,
Sometimes we lose ourselves in guilt,
Other times we enjoy the rewards with great delight,
Things might happen tomorrow,
Or they might happen tonight,
But if you hold your head up high and have faith,
I guarantee you,everything is going to be alright. 


Be strong. (:
