TL's Random Thoughts

Last night, after having a great flow of conversation with Jhen, it made me think a lot. Things that have pondered on me and made me analyze on some of the situations that is currently happening to me and to others.


Sometimes, people come in to your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there... To serve some sort of purpose, teach you lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them.

And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair. But in reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would never realize your potentials, strengths, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothy paved, straight, flat road to nowhere safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet will affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make everyday count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.

Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, breakfree and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself. For if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and LIVE IT!!!!
