Letting Go

"Because at the end of the day, life is but a fleeting moment, a series of events that come and go, emotions that arise and disappear, feelings that develop and wane, moments that spark and fade.  It is not a never-ending situation, a game without match point or the blowing of a whistle nor a perpetual film without the credit titles.

As such, life could only be about letting go, for in doing so we create the space for new things, new experiences, new people and new emotions to enter into our lives.  Thus we are enriched.  For when we hold on to old things, to stale emotions, to habitual thoughts and ageing beliefs, we allow ourselves to be in a constant state of death, of arrested development and of not living a fulfilled life.

As I grew up, I would enjoy the feeling of going away, leaving home to distant shores and delight in being under different skies and bask in unfamiliar surroundings.  I would take these new experiences and store them as sweet memories, grateful for the opportunity to appreciate them.  And I had long learned not to be sad on the way home, nor feel a sense of loss or regret that the moment has ended.
Instead, I cherish the feeling of wonder and excitement that allow me to develop a sense of anticipation for future journeys and more adventures.  This way, life is not about endings, but about new beginnings.  Death is not to be mourned or feared, but to be embraced as a necessary part of our constant rebirth."

When All Things in Life Are About Loss

Winning any competition is a different matter. Because losing there doesn't mean the end, not to mention we can always register for another tourney and prepare ourselves for the next battle. That way, we have nothing to lose because in fact we keep improving and climbing the hill of achievement. We don't lose by that way, we triumph and we keep gaining the perishable pleasure.

However, I'm talking about another definition of loss. I'm talking about when finally we realize all of those victories over marvelous titles labelled on us becoming meaningless and then we turn from worshiping into hating them. Being cool or popular no longer feels nice, which on the contrary, we regret it. That moment we are aware of what we truly are fond of, is the moment we finally wake up knowing we've always been losing, no win at all. Glory is bullshit.

In this world of uncertainty, I tend to look for fake and delusional joys than to

One by One, Dreams Come True

I wished hard for it, I gave shots in some opportunities, until one day my prayer would be answered. And now that one of the dreams come true, self-pride and gratitude and faith get stronger through. Why is it still I cannot believe in the power of belief? Perhaps someday soon by more life lessons, I will.
