NICE COLOR! that is
what I thought when I tried writing in the page using this color ; p it can do
a lot of things–spice up a boring blog as this for one hehehe ; D anyways, i
dropped by and decided to write after I read my cousin’s request to check my blog
because something seems to be wrong according to her "thanks for
checking on me wyn! i am fine (never been, until a few months lately?
hehehe)"
at her request, I will write (she asked me to write how I am…"I think
what will be contained here will pretty much tell you how I am, albeit
indirectly")…i’ll do my best to, that is. Why that underlined
statement? Because simply writing about it would not do any justice to how I
am, exactly. now I am going to shift to the topic that I abandoned earlier, the
topic about COLORS…that word can mean a lot of things; it can mean colors,
literally (purple, pink, blue, orange, red?); it can mean any malicious
perception of one person regarding something that is harmless (it can only be
brought about by envy) or something thrilling and exciting that is happening in
a person’s life (now that is colorful!), figuratively.
I would like to talk about the third meaning of the word “colors” tonight, but
let me pose this question first. Why is it that when fears beset you,
everything around you becomes automatically dull? You become blinded perhaps of
the things, which are just beyond the fears that surround you like walls?
Maybe…what is funny is that you do not really have to overcome each of these
fears, one by one, by achieving the impossible (we usually think that you see…);
you simply have to take the tiniest step and VIOLA! You will see such beauty that is more than you have ever seen
when you settled yourself, confined in a world that you have decided to be
content with…
Getting past the fears, the
worries, the anger and the bitterness will open up your eyes…only then will you
see the “colors”. Stepping out of the world that you imprisoned yourself with,
will open up your heart to new and better possibilities. Closing up the once
open chapter of your life brings about the opening of yet another chapter that
has been written with the utmost of care…Changes–these are tough changes yes,
but like the butterfly that has to struggle to get out of its cocoon so it can
fly, because the struggle will make its wings stronger preparing it for flight,
we too have to struggle so we can be prepared for the tough journey ahead of
us. Now like the butterfly whose colorful wings were only revealed after the
struggle, the colors of our lives will only be seen after we’re hurt, after we
have struggled to get out of the cocoon of pain that we have allowed to
imprison us.
Surviving the struggle is the
best thing that could ever happen : D you go out each day with the anticipation
of what new exciting things are waiting for you just around the bend…a smile, a
comforting touch, a helping hand, the gentlest of all look that says that you
are being loved, a constant reminder that somewhere, though far, someone thinks
of you and cares for you…then you will see that the things that surround you
are awash with colors, so varied and different from that of the previous yet,
equally if not more beautiful.
