Blur

The Beggining

- Sadly, not everything in this world is bright and shine. Just like everything and everyone, life has its dark side. And to truly live, we need to learn to coexist with both parts: Light and darkness. Happiness and sadness. Grace and remorse. Ying and Yang. Hate and love. They are different, but one can not exist without the other. It is a rule of life, which certainly is hard, because just when you think you're living the best things; when you feel ecstatic, when you feel that there's nothing that could possibly go wrong, there's when life decides to give you an excruciating kick. The highest you are, the harder you fall. And I got to meet my Yang. My imminent Yang. The worst of it all is the consistent uncertainty. We never know what's ahead. People say we should live the present, but how to know why are you doing the things you do? You must know where you are heading, construct your future. It is the best way to predict it. Live the present to build the future...but letting the past go. Something we must finish as soon as we can.

-But hey, why were we here in the first place?

-Oh right...I wasn't prepared for what was coming, was I? Certainly life's brutal hit caught me by surprise, but the splattered blood reached and brutally stained other people too. I didn't know what to think. The initial hit almost knocked me out; left me on my feet, all dizzy and fuzzy. I couldn't see the consequences, not in me, but in everyone around me. I was blindfolded. But that was just the first hit of many more to come. I still somehow managed to keep myself standing up...At all costs.

-Yeah, I remember.

-Now, what was your initial question again?

-Oh yes...Why don't you try it? I mean, you know we're still blurred, that life changed. But I know you, and you know me too. We know there's something we both want. So, what's the problem?

-You've said it, we're blurred. We can't see further than our noses. We are free of doing what we want, but we're not free from the consequences. You know what we want, but you don't want to hurt someone again, do you? You are afraid...

-Yes, we still need more time...
