“If You don’t like where you are, Change it. You’re not a tree.”
SI JOSEPH
Minsan lumalayo tayo hindi para makalimot kundi para maghilom, Hindi dahil gusto natin mabura yung alaala kundi dahil gusto natin tong baunin at hindi malibing kasama ng kalungkutan. Sadness? it’s not permanent. Sabi nila time heals all wounds, for me hindi lang time ang kailangan para maghilom kasi kailangan gustuhin mo rin yun. Kailangan mong tiiisin yung sakit, Pilitin wag maramdaman yung kirot, isipin na darating yung araw na yung sugat gano man to kahapdi magiging peklat nalang to pagdating ng panahon.. Na magiging bahagi nalang to ng nakaraan.
We are not the civilian in a war because we are the soldiers dress like a normal people. that no matter how hurt, how wounded we are. We still have to fight in order to live. Don’t give up, Don’t be scared, To surrender is not an option.. Keep on firing, move forward, In case you’re running out of bullet, drop yung gun and use your strenght.. Punch, Kick..You may be bleeding but remember you’re not yet dead coz you can still feel the pain. If the tears run down on your face don’t forget to smile coz you can still breathe, Coz You’re still alive. Life is like war.. to live or die is a choice and it will always be a choice.
