Things Known and Unknown

There are moments that I think that I am really matured and know everything. And then, there are the moments that I feel extremely naive and clueless about life. Those are the moments that remind me that I am but a teenager. A young soul on her journey through the ups and downs of life. And too often I try to walk too fast and stumble on my own feet. And those are the moments that I realize that I am vulnerable and sensitive despite the brave facade that I put up. But as I pick myself up and stand on my own two feet with a brave face, I realize that I am strong enough to take care of myself. That I can and will get through all of the falls despite everything.

There are also moments that I feel down, like I fell too deep into a hole, and I don't know how to get out again. Those are the moments that I feel extremely grateful for my family and friends, that lend a hand to pull me up, either by their support, words, smiles, or even their mere presence.

There are moments that I feel that I am treated like lower being. Unseen and unappreciated. Just one of the many faces in the billions of people going about their lives. Those are the moments that I realize that life isn't all rainbows and butterflies. That the world doesn't revolve around me. That other people have their own lives and their own set of problems to worry about. Those are also the moments that I realize that I have to learn to stand up for myself, to fend and take care of myself.

Then, there are moments when I am treated like a princess, getting more than I ever need and want. Those are the moments that I realize that I'm loved and appreciated. That there are people that love me unconditionally and would go to the ends of the earth for me.

As depressing as all of this sound, I am not sad. I am content. I have been given the gift of life by God Almighty, and as people say, nothing good comes for free. Life is not easy. Nobody ever said it was going to be a walk in the park. But as hard as life gets, its worth living. For all those that we love and for all those that love us.

That's all for this time. Au revoir and have a nice day =)
