blessing in disguise
it's a blessing in disguise. through downfalls, pain, hurts and depression, we grow to become stronger, mightier and tougher. the rainbow bends at the other end after the thunderstorms. scary to know, but somehow we grow - we change after significant tragedies happen in our lives.

somehow i learn more when i hit dead ends. i realise more when i fall hard enough. i don't seem to really bother if the pain isn't that bad. and when crisis comes, it shakes me off my comfort zones and pulls me closer to making difficult decisions and ponder more of life.

and yes, i feel blessed at this moment. i don't really feel that i'm in the best state of happiness, because im facing difficult moments. yet, i rejoice and feel contented to find life's gems. such precious gems are not materialistic treasures, but of friendship, love and companionship. it's to know that someone is always there for you, even though you are in the deepest trenches of life's difficulties.

i don't speak of the pain, because dwelling on the hurts isn't going to free me of it. but not talking about it doesn't necessarily mean the hurts are over. it does mean that i wana hold on to the sweetest things in life and remember the gems that God has placed in my life. not so much the bad and dullest colours of life, but rather be contented with the best things.

so my friend, cheer up too! i know that you might be feeling the same way, but let's turn our eyes upon the beautiful, the great, the joyful and the precious things in our lives.
