"This is your life, and today is all you've got now.
And today is all you ever have..."
And today is all you ever have..."
A friend once told me, memories are something you look at, not something you carry with. And for the longest time, I've been carrying with me a bunch of unnecessary regrets and feelings. For this past year, life certainly hasn't turned out the way i imagined, or hoped, it to. But through all that, I became a stronger person, not exactly invincible, but stronger.
It has indeed taken me a long time, but I am finally starting to pull myself back up, and put the pieces back together, on my own.
I've realized that because the world is so cruel, I need to, no, have to be a dreamer. I had many dreams and fantasies, and I gave them up only because one person disappointed me. That won't happen again. I know now to nourish and joy on my dreams and hopes. I know now that when a certain thing doesn't happen the way you wanted, or dreamed, doesn't mean that everything also won't.
After I was hurt, i thought i would shut myself out - to protect myself from getting hurt again. But i've learned to say "so what?" Granted, if i close myself up, i would be able to save myself from being hurt as badly, but at the same time, doing so would also limit myself from experiencing what it is to love fully and unconditionally. And I will not give that up just because i fear that the next person i'm with will hurt me.
I was born a dreamer, and always will be.
