" in one year from today,
how do you think your life would
be different from now??"
this quote did it.
what i have been dragging my feet and stuffing my arms under my armpits to stop myself from doing this all this while.
make changes.
while i am aware that people do this all the time; the new year somehow propels them to make resolutions to be a better person, change to a "new me", switch hairstyles, etc., and etc., i would like to really turn from a cocoon to a butterfly this time.
or would turning from a worm to a cocoon be more fitting??
from this day onwards, i hope that i can fit each silken string around myself-to bring the far flung but somehow reachable destination that i hope to reach with a satisfied and unregretful heart.
i hope that i can,
ONE, give people more than they expect and give it cheerfully,
TWO, believe in love at first sight,
THREE, find a dream and hold it tight to my heart, for without one i ain't nothing much,
FOUR, don't believe all that i hear, spend all i have, or sleep all i want,
FIVE, smile and say "why do you want to know??" when someone asks me something i don't want to answer,
SIX, remember great love and great achievements involve great risks.
maybe, just maybe,
when i find my lungs collapsing and my heart failing,
i can raise up my head proudly and say,
as someone great once said:
I MAY NOT HAVE GONE WHERE I INTENDED TO GO, BUT I THINK I HAVE ENDED UP WHERE I NEEDED TO BE.
