Kary sent me a quote the other day which went: "Life is like a roller coaster. Maraming twists and turns, ups and downs. But once you overcome your fear for these obstacles, only then can you enjoy the ride."
And so I thought, "oo nga naman". But all the same, I became afraid of becoming too comfortable with the ups and downs I'm going through lately. And it scares me that once I get used to it, it might turn out to be not a so-good habit after all.
A few nights ago, I got really drunk courtesy of Jagermeister in the spirit of trying to forget a chapter in my life. And the hardest part is that I'm actually trying to forget something which is good. Then why am I trying to forget about it then?
Because I have to.
Life gives us challenges, but never one of those we couldn't get through to. Everything's difficult for us at first, but eventually, we'll all realize that it has been for the better. And then we become grateful.
And so I ask myself again, do I see myself thankful in the future? --Getting over this chapter?
Just like a roller coaster, life goes in a never-ending cycle. What happens now, might eventually happen in the future. But what makes it different are the people you share the ride with. People you encourage to be strong, people who holds your hand when you're too afraid of the fall, people who close their eyes with you, people you shout with, laugh with.
What matters in the end is the experience you had with that person during the short ride. 'Cause frankly, and personally, time isn't really the measure of quality, it's what you do with the given time that counts.
