Never Quitting Life

It's tempting to wish for a perfect parent or a perfect boss. But, sometimes, the best we can do is to hang in there and not to quit... to play the hand we've been dealt with and accesorize the outfit we've got. ~ Sex and the City


When things don't go the way you want it to be, hope is instantly lost but is regained again once you've decided to take a step further and do something about it. Sounds pretty easy? Not.

It takes a lot of courage for a kid to stand up and not cry when he or she gets embarassed in front of friends or classmates. It takes a lot of gut for a guy who have been constantly dumped by the same girl to say hi to her again the next day like nothing happened. It takes enormous willpower for an employee to say his ideas when all the big bosses are there. Men and women take great pains in overcoming obstacles in the personal lives. Whether it be issues with family, friends, work, lovelife, social life, and others.

Each of us have different ways in coping with what life is currently offering us and in every little detail of one's life are choices. You may take it upon yourself to do something about a problem or you can just let it pass and hope that someone will rescue you from it. One thing leads to another with the choices that we make.

Sometimes, being alive is tiring. Sometimes all you want to do is dissapear even for just a minute, to feel nothing, to see nothing, to forget... but that's wishful thinking.Truth is, reality bites and when it does, it leaves a mark right at the back of your head and it reminds you to keep going...to hang in there because when you give up on yourself, you stop living.

I refuse to stop living. I am tired, I am weak but I will keep going....
