Good Lives, Simple Choices

Today, I received some weird news. Potentially it can be a very bad piece of information. Somehow though I am calm. I don't know if I am just numbing myself or I just have faith in my God and in life. I hope it is the second one. I just feel that things are no longer in my control and I have done my best. All I can do is wait in peace and hope against hope that my God will bless me with what I have asked for.


I know that no matter how flawed I am, I am a good person that deserve to be forgiven by life for the mistakes I have made. I believe that no matter how angry, arrogant or messed up I can be, I have also given value in so many people's lives by being who I am and sharing parts of me.


I believe that life does not measure a person by the mistakes she makes but by the effort she makes to make herself better. I believe that at the very core of our existence, we all are good people who just want to believe that life is bad and evil. But life isn't really. Life is what we make out of it. We can choose to believe it is shitty or we can choose to believe it is beautiful. In the end, what life offers us is our own fault.


Oftentimes, the biggest fight we have to face is the war we have created within us. God is good. Life is good. Believe in it.

    I think life is always good.
    It's us who are sometimes bad...
    bad in our actions/reactions towards life.

    with smile,

    Totoo yan, Ekay. Sometimes we tend to complicate the simplest of things. Kaya nasestress tayo. Tapos pag tapos na, mamamangha na lang tayo na, yun lang yun?

    Ingat ka, Ekay!
