Ups and Downs

There are moments in life when you look around and find that nothing is worth fighting for. Moments where you realise that you've been so tired for having tried so hard for so long, and yet have gotten absolutely nothing in return. So then, you wonder... what is the point? And then, you wonder... you wonder whether all those people were right. You wonder if they were right about the fact that we do always give up our dreams, that there is so much bad out there that nobody will ever be able to do anything about it, that we're all just too scared to change, to try, to dream, to truly love...

We're all just too scared to put our hearts on the line. To be vulnerable.

So we hide. And we expect the worst. Of course that way, we shall never be disapointed.

But really? Does it actually make it better? I was proven right just the other day, when I had horrible expectations. And the truth is... I was still disapointed of the fact that I was right. No matter if you're wrong to be hopeful or right to be skeptical.. it's all the same in the end. You get hurt. You get discouraged.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Nothing to look forward to. Nothing worth fighting for.

And then...

There are moments in life when you can hardly remember any of your problems. Kindness from your friends, your family, your surroundings... comes smashing you right in the face and asks you to wake up. To snap out of bitterness. Here are people who care about you, who love you, who cherish you for who you are. They know you, and will remind you of the kind of person you are whenever times like those make you forget. There are moments where you find yourself in the midst of what we should all be living for. For these laughters, for these feelings...

So we hold our heads up high. And we realise that tomorrow, the sun might not shine as bright. But we also know that it'll all be looking up soon. If only we just made a little effort.

To cry. To learn. To let go.

And to never become a victim of our past...
