dreams, decision, isolation... loneliness

There comes a time in a person's life that he must make a decision for himself. It's a part of maturing that one day, you realized that you are tired of drifting where the tides take you and finally take the courage to swim in a different direction.

Some things are easier said than done. When everything is planned in your mind, thinking that all the steps seems plausible, somehow it gives you a sense of assurance that everything will run smoothly. And as one by one you are taking the steps towards your goal, you discern the things that you have compromised. It's sad when you realize your decision somehow also leads you to isolation.

Looking back at the reasons, I knew without hesitation that I have made the right decision. And I'm aware that there are things that need to be sacrificed for now. But somehow at one point or another they affect me. It's only human to feel alone and question 'why' but faith makes this human stronger and determined enough to refuse retreat.

I'm thankful that somehow, i don't feel alone anymore. It's comforting to know that there's someone i know who is also under the same circumstance. When it feels weary, it's nice to know that you have somebody that you can talk to and exchange notes on how you've been coping up. Somehow, it's easier to look at the brighter side of things. it's easier to tell yourself that what you have now is just ephemeral and time will come that you don't have deny yourself of companionship.

Maraming salamat, Papsi. For making me feel that I'm not alone. Hay, one day the two of us will reap the fruits of our labor. Just as what Barang said in one of her songs:

"There's a place for us/ Somewhere a place for us... There's a time for
us/Someday a time for us... with time to spare /Time to learn, time
to care...Someday, somewhere"

Pero hindi Paps eh.... kulang ang tenk yu... kulang ang i lab yu.... hehehe. naalala ko lang...
