The Light

There are days when I feel like complete and utter shit. Then somehow, the universe snaps me out of my bubble and shifts the way I look at my life. Life may not be exactly how I picture it, but it doesn't mean theres no hope.

Life sometimes just forces us to look at life from a different perspective. The thing is, we have trained ourselves to look at what we lack more than appreciating what we have. The society often reminds us of our shortcomings rather than celebrating our uniqueness.

Its hard to see the good when you keep your focus on the bad. We get so blinded by the darkness that we dare not see the light. We have chosen this as our normal. We have chosen to be in a hole and just to keep on digging.

Its hard, believe me. It is hard to just one day shift our focus. It is a constant struggle to fight off the negativities, to not get sinked in the deepest of trenches. Life sometimes seem to be limiting. It is even frustrating to a point. But despite its darkness, it is beautiful; because even then, there is a flicker of light.

As we choose to live in the dark, we are also given the choice to chase the light. It may sometimes even harder than what we've hoped for but it is vital to keep our eye on the flickers that we see. The challenge is constant, sometimes it is relentlessly unforgiving. But despite that we have to give ourselves ourselves a chance. No matter how little of it we see. Life is all about perspective anyway. We have to power through everyday. We have to be able to choose the light. We have to be able to see through the blind spots and keep on going. It is going to be difficult but there is so much more than pitch dark. There is hope, there is life. And even in its difficulties, even in its trials, life is beautiful and we have to choose to see it.

They say that sometimes the smallest step you take could eventually becomes the biggest and most important one you'll ever have to make. I guess this is true.

Earlier today, I did what I wanted to do for quite a while now. It is pretty insane if you think about it. Going into the world of the unknown, of having absolutely no clue of whats going to happen, but you know what, I don't regret even a tiny bit of it. Like what they say, you could only learn when you leave the boundaries of your comfort zone. On the way home, I was laughing at how I ended up here, but I am absolutely looking forward to this.  May great things come from that one small step.
