Against All Odds, I Will Remain Standing

Who says life is as smooth as sailing in a calm sea? Reality is, it's the opposite. Life is a journey full of adventures, full of thrills, and full of uncertainties - but all these make life challenging!

My life was not an exception. My life the past years has been like a roller-coaster ride. It has its ups and, most of the time, downs. I had been building dreams, but later watched them buckled. I had loved, but turned out broken. I had been into journeys full of crossroads, confused on what paths to take. I had been into adventures full of mishaps.  I say, Its been years of ambiguity for me. But despite all these, I had tried to be positive and hopeful. 'Coz I know, if I will just  learn how to ride with the big waves of my life, I will reach the bounty destination I have been wanting, . Strong winds may blow me away  and  lead me to detours I never expected, but in the end, I would always want to remind myself - like those wind-blown grass - against all odds, I will remain standing.

Picking Up the Pieces of a Shattered Dream

Life is not always a fairy tale. It doesn't always end up into a happy ending, a happily ever after.  We may wish it will end that way.  But sometimes, whether we like it or not,  our dreams turn shattered.  Building dreams and later watched them buckled is one of those inevitable facts in life. We simply can't have all we want. The saddest thing is, no matter how hard we work for something, there are just things that are not meant for us. There are dreams that will always remain a dream. Its painful, yes it is. But pain will make us better. It will make us appreciate more the joy and happiness. The  most important part, in our journey so-called life,  is to never surrender when problems pave the way and to never stop dreaming. Let not our dreams and goals in life be ruined by these problems. Instead, let us make these problems our stepping stones to become a better and a stronger person. That in every sunrise we would be able to say to ourselves, "I am picking up the pieces of a shattered dream, I am picking up the pieces of my life, I am whole again and much stronger, I am ready to face the world and conquer my dreams!"
