"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking."

Before It's Too Late
YOLO. You Only Live Once. We always think that way. We only have one life to live so we have to live it to the fullest. Fullest in a way that we are neglecting are very own purpose of existence-to worship God. We often forget that death does not just mean the end of the life in this world but also an entrance towards another dimension- the Afterlife, where Heaven and Hell exist. Now, what will happen to us if our life in this world is about to end? Where are we to go? In what state of forever are we going to dwell? Forever suffering or forever happiness? Let's reflect before it's too late.Complete
New Normal
I learnt the hard way that wanting to be normal is just wishful thinking. More specifically when I found out who my dad really was. Then again, having a child while I was still a kid myself already sealed the deal on being anything but normal. But I was happy, for a moment. Until I was introduced to an entirely new world or worlds that I wish I wasnt apart of but now its impossible to avoid.
