This is My Life







Out with the old and in with the new!

Risks - something I've never even thought about before.
What for? Everyday, you're faced with having to undergo a life where even a small event could change your life, BIG TIME! So for me, it would not matter if risks were there or not, they are part of everyday life!

That was the old me, a person with no care in the world whatsoever. But it changed, eventually.

Today, I started searching for a connection to myself, my own self. A feeling that I never knew before, 'cause I never really cared about life, everybody's going to die anyway. But that's over now.
Someone taught me one important thing about finding yourself. A special friend, someone I never thought I would learn something from because of her childish nature. But that childish nature of her gave me the push to find myself, my long lost self, wanting to be found, waiting for that moment to come out of the darkness.

She is a very childish classmate of mine. I did not adore her before, we were not even close to each other a long time ago. But one time, at school, we needed to go to the other building and it was raining softly, just some raindrops. I have my umbrella, she does have her own too, but it surprised me to see her go out without even opening her umbrella. I came close, offered her my umbrella without even thinking.

Ambon lang yan, gusto ko ang ulan, kasi nadidiligan ang mga halaman.

After hearing her answer, I just couldn't help but to start slowing my pace down with adoration. Walking behind her, seeing her happy movement while looking at the heavens with a smile. Suddenly, I closed my own umbrella and started enjoying the rain for the same reason that she does.


That was when I started to think about what I feel, what I value, what I cherish, and what I want.
It gave me the urge to set up my dreams without having to worry about what other people say or think about me for it. I didn't care about the negative things people might think about me because of how different I am from them.

I have my own life, and I'll live it the way I want to live it.
