i learned the truth at 16

October 30, 2008 i was just surfing the net, looking for something to help pass the time. then i stumbled upon my 16-year old cousin's page. her shout-out says:

"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag iisa, kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyun-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka.." (trans: what's hard about being alone is not being lonely or afraid. it's accepting that out of the billions of people in the world, not one fought to be with you..)

hmmmm... it sucks to get in-your-face with something like that. and from a 16 year old at that.

it gets me thinking, just how much am i willing to give up, how much am i willing to do, to be with someone? how will one know when someone is worth fighting for till the end? or when they are not?

or better yet, will anyone ever have the courage to fight all odds to be with me? do i posses that thing that makes someone worth fighting for?

i don't know. i guess i'll just have to wait and see. for now i just have to trust my instincts and keep going forward. i will never know any answers to any of my questions just by sitting still in fear. there are choices you have to make now, no matter how unsure you are of the outcome.

life is like one big labyrinth. Every choice you make, you make a turn. some will lead to dead ends, some to what seems like an endless struggle to find the next turn,, you can never really tell if your making the right turn while you're doing it... or maybe there's just really no wrong or right turn. what matters is you never give up, you never stop picking yourself up, backing up at every dead end or seeing a long scary path through, not until you reach that final turn where everything becomes clear, and you'll know, you're right where you're supposed to be.
