Life's not about setting boundaries. It's about pushing yourself to the utmost limits to see how well you can handle it, not how you break under the pressure. Most people run away from unfamiliarity, strange things and problems. It's human nature, you say. But I beg to differ. I think the most remarkable humans are the ones that stay on despite the sting of unfamiliarity. Despite the unknown, the instability and the pain of the hurt that is yet to come. Not content with just knowing what they can handle, but pushing themselves to venture into the unknown even if it might just hurt them. All the while knowing the consequences of their actions that might take a toll on their lives. Wrong decisions are made every single day by everyone of us.
We decide to quit when the going gets tough. We decide to run away whenever we get scared. We refuse to give other's a chance when all the while, we've been begging for one. We refuse to see the bigger picture for what it really is simply because we're scared of the truth. We're scared that we might see something we don't want to. We're scared that we might hear what we don't want to. Most of all, we're scared to have to face something that we don't have the answer or solution to.
Those who run along and face the unknown,they're what I would call remarkably brave.
If there's a crisis you don't freeze. You move forward. You get the rest of us to move forward. Because you've seen worse. You've survived worse. And you know, we'll survive too.
Thank you for the wonderful memories. It has been a pleasurable journey (Feb 2006-Mar 2009).
