overhaul

on loop: sayang ~ stonefree

i've decided to change some things about my life, to let go of some people whom i feel could never be the missing pieces of the puzzle i've been trying to put together. it won't be easy and i know that i might regress, but in time all good things must really come to an end. but alongside it, other good things will also begin. i'm sure of that. such a waste, and a pity as well, but we must move on and explore other horizons. for that is the way to not get stuck in the past, burdened down by broken dreams and abandoned hopes. in reality, life is like a box of chocolates... JOKE! hehe corny na nung analogy na iyon, i have no plans of using it (i don't even like chocolates ;p). kasama na sa overhauling ko iyong pagiging hindi na masyado corny and ma-drama. last na 'to (i can't promise, though hehe ;p). but for sure, i can promise that i will set my priorities straight and first things first. it would be good to let go of all the emotional baggage that simply weigh you down, and keep ahold of those that inspire you and strenghten you.

actually for me, life is like a boat ride. you start out from the shore, sometimes by yourself or sometimes with other people. but the bottomline is, you are in charge of the steering wheel. at times, you find yourself being tossed by the waves or caught in a storm, but at times, you are awed by the vastness of the ocean around you and the clarity of the water beneath you. there will be moments when all that is around you is water, with no land in sight. you may feel alone, but you know that you never are and never will be. peril will always be just around the next wave or so, and you must be ready at all times. during the trip, you may have the need to let go of one of your passengers to ensure the safety of the others, or usually, of yourself. but if you're lucky, you will realize that you got the right people on board and the right gear and equipment to get you across. when you reach your destination, you'd look back and see the path you trod littered with uncertainty, and you will smile because you are proud that despite all the obstacles, you simply rode the waves and never jumped ship :)
