With all backstabs each received, I think, we may conclude that 2017 was a time span of tolerating and accepting betrayals to save relationships and friendships. We kept on putting bandages on bullet holes, kept on putting alcohol on deep wounds and kept on thinking this, and this, and this, are all alright, no, they aren’t.
A year of becoming the
antonyms of wiser, stronger and bolder entity that continuously fighting his
inner demons to find his real angels.
A momentum when our
boats were already sinking but bearing in mind everything would be fine. Hands
that were supposedly be there in times of need, but, they weren’t. Hands that
let us drown in spaces of water and managing to put blocks on top of our heads.
Tying ropes to our feet to achieve 100% suffocation. Turns out, they successful
killed you. They did not. Surfacing
the deep depths of oceans no one would even dare to help you out with. But when
you do, they would act like they cared. In the first place, they did not. Getting your revenge and turning
out you were the villain. Surprise. They
were the victims. Inverting meanings the what have been. Twisting the minds of
the cretins to move justice away from your periphery. They won.
This 2018,
everything will fall into places.
With how disastrous
each angle life perceives us, how degrading each thought we dive into, how
insulting each gesture we’ve done for ourselves. Congratulate yourself, you
made it.
This year made me
realized that not everyone is your friend but not everyone matters anyway. With
each striking wave of water flushed down cities of vivid hope, I learned how to
build upgraded infrastructures that could wind stand powerful hits and
bludgeons.
Revolving around
certain nucleus, grasping on ropes of the near broken, climbing to hills of
shattered glasses, putting trusts into the people who do not even deserve them.
With all the
leaches that stick to you when times of success then leave you in darkness.
I expounded something from nothing.
I celebrate
individuals who celebrate their weaknesses, that never hid their flaws in the
medias. That accepted themselves for who are them. I am with you. I have my own too.
With all betrayals
we've received, let yourself accept more for you'll be immune.
Life sticks with
betrayals, whether you like it or not.
This ending embarks
a new journey for all of us to become smarter as days progress. Never repeat
history. Learn from it. Save your future.
Let your heart be
vulnerable but never let it be broken by the same hands twice.
As well, never seek
revenge, it's not all about it, it's about clemency. Learn to forgive but never
forget.
Treat yourself
right.
With all second
versions of volumes of people, there would be who would stay at your
side in regardless of how hard you treated them, how unimportant you viewed them, how twisting the words you uttered to and for them. Thank you for the
gift not everyone could give.
Honestly, I also
grasp the concept of becoming real, people do not even put exclamation marks on
you when you did something good. It's always the bad that gets
highlighted first. So, grab that opportunity to make real statements and
conclusions. No one remembers virtuous deeds anyway.
The people whom you
protected, will kill you afterwards. Always have that in mind.
And it's okay.
Continue living
your life
Continue aspiring
to be your best self
Continue being we
in a world of I's.
When the sun is
setting, city lights are flickering, cars are roaring. There would be only three
things that stick with you, always.
God
Your family
And
Yourself.
Hope this serves as
a reminder!
Happy Holidays!
