When we encounter life's bumps here and there, our tendency is to stay away from it, to move away as far as possible so we don't get hurt, we don't suffer the humiliation of failure, or the pain of losing.
When I was young, I always imagined an ideal world where everybody loves each other, and nobody fights, there's abundance, the fairy tale ending. I got through my teenage years with amazingly a stroll in the park. I thought I could rule the world, I thought I could do anything, if I set my mind to it. But then a boy broke my heart. Everything changed. I felt a complete failure, I got scared of the world, and I was insecure. Over time, I learned how to mellow down, and I started to accept that I was no superwoman. With a little bit more time, I was on the top again, with my career and my personal life were in flying colors. I felt invincible again. And then another boy broke my heart. And then another...Strike three!
Time got me through it, not completely out yet, but I was able to snap out of my very depressing and disappointing self. With my strike three, I realized that I need to face my demons, that I need to face the hurdle in front of me because it will not go away unless I vanish it.
Life has its funny ways of playing with our emotions, with how it like a magic wand changes our destiny forever. I've learned that it's pointless to struggle against it, you will just get tired. What we can really do is, enjoy the ride. Enjoy every moment that we have, because we don't know how long we will have it. Even if 'it' means the tougher times, we must learn how to ride the waves. After all, they are the spice that keeps our journey here on earth, the most amazing.
