One will only know life when he’s lived the best of it

Since I was a child, I had always been the clumsy one. I was –and still am, the stubborn, care –free soul that everyone knows. As a child, I had always tripped or crashed on to something or someone, wounding myself in the process. At first, it always hurt. I’d cry myself out, say bad things about the ground, or blame others for my bad luck. But as I get used to it, as I stumble time –by –time, I started learning to just stand up and walk away like nothing bad happened every time I fall. Being clumsy started as something as a nuisance for me, but now I’ve learned to accept it as a part of me.

I’ve read somewhere that you’d never reach beyond the mountains if you don’t face the mountain head on first. That there’s no rainbow if there’s not even a drop of rain. And that success is not something given, it’s something earned by tripping and crashing on challenges. No one reaches the top unscathed, everyone has their own scratch hidden away somewhere.

Everyone has their own life. Everyone has their own problems. Each differs on how they cope up, how they live, and how they accept life. Growing up is never easy, heck, living day –by –day was never easy. At a young age, I realized that not everything in this world is what it seems based on what you see. Everyone may see me as someone who grew up enjoying the luxury and lavishing everything that’s just handed to me. When life gives you something hard, you don’t have time to prepare yourself, it just goes crashing straight at you. You may shout all you want, blame anyone you see, cry all day, or wither away in your room but nothing’s going to change anything that’s already there in front of you. Because things happen for a reason.

What I’ve realized is that, no matter how hard life is, no matter how hard it is to stand up, to carry yourself back up, you still should. Because that’s your only choice, it’s the only choice we have as humans. That no matter how hard the fall, you still have the chance to be back on track and continue your life. Things aren’t going to be back, it’s not going to be the same, but what we can have is a better, brighter future full of opportunities. We fall, we crash, we get broken, I know we all do. Because it’s the rule of life. But we should always remember that lessons are learned every time we create mistakes.

Memories are made with every failed plan. Moments are shared with every argument and laugh. Warmth is felt with every bond we complete. Always remember that with darkness comes light, that whatever we start comes with an ending worth fighting for. Life is full of what ifs and what nots, all you have to remember is to be brave. Do things you won’t normally do, enjoy each passing second, time is a precious thing in a life of a person. Don’t wait for the opportunity to come passing by and instead, run for it and reach the horizon while breaking down your own limits.
