Strength

Wrote this on 21/07/2009 and since my lazy self has started blogging again, i might as well share!


My strength today lies in resilience and intrepidity.

There was a time when pain was all I could remember: Constant trials and struggles, not enough laughs and too many tears.

There was a time when my heart was dusty, despondent and cold. I guarded my heart and head with grief and fear. Afraid to let anyone too close, I fought all battles on my own. I saw myself running from life, impossible to get away.

Some let me down when I needed them most while some attacked, when my defence was weak. So, out of desperation, I created a second world of serenity where I need no friends, partners or companions; where I face my reality alone and your offers of help are ignored. Nevertheless, what would life be without some of you? Especially those who understand my need to retreat, and wait patiently for my return.

I've learnt to count on nothing beyond today as there are no guarantees for tomorrow.
I've learnt to refrain from expectations from those around me. That way, no promises are broken.
I've learnt Life is simple and not that bad. It's what you make it out to be, and yours to do with as you please.

Now I strive forth happy and confident!! Living and laughing, loving it all!
Replacing darkness with light with hardly a fight. I am empowered by the support of meaningful experience and I transform with silent resilience, cherishing every moment of this new life

I read somewhere that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away...I WILL indulge in these moments and in people that take my breath away!

Judge, appreciate, condemn or applaud me...makes no difference, for I have become indestructible!
