Breathe

It is very easy to get sucked up in life's miseries. One day you're happy and feeling as if you can fly and all of a sudden, something shatters, something hits the ground and your soul is but broken into million pieces.

It is amazing how in a split second, the world you know would seize from happening and you are left with nothing but regret, wonder and grief overtakes what you once had and never will have, ever again.

We always assume that whatever state we are in, it will last forever. But the thing is, nothing is permanent, nothing is ours. Everything is nothing but borrowed. Not even your own skin is yours. One day you can see, the other you're blind.

And the weirdest thing is that we get attached to those worldly things and consider them as ours and we fight each other over them, while in fact, someone out there is watching us and laughing their guts out. We get this false perception that we own things but the truth is, we are just borrowing them, changing them and then giving them back.

We need to just realize that we are not but mere visitors on this earth. Our time here is too short to spend it on fighting and trying to possess things we will be forced to leave behind. No one knows what is there on the other side, but one thing is for sure, wherever we are going, we are not to bring anything from this life, we might as well not be able to carry any emotion or feeling where we're heading.

So why bother? why spend our time being greedy and selfish and criminals against each other? why bother getting angry at a lover not returning our love, or a father abusing his son, or a mother not able to protect her girl, or at someone not doing their job perfectly the way we want? Why freaking bother? 

We simply need to breathe, listen to good music and relax. We need to purify our thoughts and simply let go. We are not masters of our own destiny. So we might as well just look at our life as a slide show being presented to us while sitting, having popcorn and sipping coke. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that when the time comes for us making decisions, we sit back and let it simply be. We can choose based on what life had taught us, but we need to prepare ourselves to whatever the outcome is,we can deal with it and just swallow the thought of cursing and blaming and getting frustrated over the reason why our life had taken a turn that we do not like. You can never tell whether the demons the other person is fighting are bigger than yours. So just swallow it. Know that only time and patience can heal whatever damage has been caused to you and do not spill the pain you have on others. It serves no one anything good.

Breathe... just breathe.. and know that everything is gonna be all right. One way or another, it is all going to be all right and all pieces will fall into their preassigned places.
