Nothing Stays The Same: Just Live The Way You Wanted To Be

It is indeed true that life is a series of changes. Nothing stays the same no matter how we try so hard to keep the status quo. 

We live life each day as though we are treading a spoon with full of water.  We try to be as careful as we should be, try to take the lightest step we can in order not to spill the water and create a mess along the way; yet, no matter how hard we try, some things just are meant to be messed-up and shattered.

It's funny how the playful situation can change us into someone who we do not want to. We humans, though we claim to be creations  gifted with reason and intellect, can sometimes find ourselves in a funny tangle of emotions and twisted thoughts dictated by situations that are created by people who means a lot to us.  We find ourselves reduced to helpless, hopeless and hapless persons curled up like fetuses deep within our own shell — retreating within ourselves and pretending nothing has affected us even when in reality we have been shattered. 

While we want to hold on to the predictability and the false stability of the status quo we feel and see all around us, changes blowing off from everywhere always catches us off guard in moments when we think everything runs in rhythm with each ticking of the clock.  We sometimes fall to the ground scathed and bruised, but we always manage to crawl somewhere to lick our wounds, hoist ourselves upright from our fallen position and stand upright all over again.

We raised ourselves again and promised that no one could break us again into pieces. Trying to protect and guard our broken selves so no one could see how broken we are. 

When they look at us, we will always be what we have always been meant to be; a winner in our own might, a conqueror, a fighter, a slayer of enemies — because we will not allow ourselves to wallow in despair and defeat.

We all have reasons to live happily the way we wanted to be.
