Sacrifice


Goals...

Rejection...

Confusion...

Ever felt such feelings? Ever felt that you've always wanted to achieve something and that something is just right there waiting for you? Yet, it's a million miles away. Choices are always your obstacles.

Bluo, someone once told me, 'To be the best, you always have to think the best'. Someone I know have been facing some problems. She had this goal to do something different this year. To earn her own life...to not take instructions from others. But then again, obstacles...choices. They'll always stand in the way huh? I guess that's why life is never a bed of roses. You can't just pick up a little fairy and wish for all the things you want. This isn't a fairytale! This is REALITY!!!

Life is all about choices. And some choices you make may take you to the wrong end of the world while others may bring you joy and happiness. Suppose you have a goal to give your every effort into a big company who gives you a good pay and that you have to decide whether to take it or not. What would you do? Would you consider only yourself or the people you love? Would you be so selfish as to neglect the people you love or would you be so useless to give up your goal? Which would you choose then?

Well, my friend chose to be useless. She chose to give up her own goal for the people she love. Whether it is a good or bad decision she made, it's based on different opinions. Every individual has their own thoughts and desire. But her desire in this case was her family. To be with them during her limited time she has over here. To create better memories before she leaves to some other place. And despite her depression of rejecting a good offer to earn big bucks, family comes first. Nothing beats family. They're always our biggest joy and happiness no matter where you are.



They are my home...

Soaring into the World

Helloooo Bluo!!!

It's been so long...Anyways, I heard this song on the radio and I found the lyrics really inspiring. Here it is:



Bluo, you know how it's funny that when I heard this song, I could relate those lyrics with someone's life. Someone I know...someone who's very very...close. She has always been living inside a box. That tiny box cooped up by rules and regulations...not allowing her to break it. It's like they're chains of words that locks her up. Keeps her from the sunshine. And even though she may be living in a comfortable box, it's like a prison of illusions. She used to be a really innocent girl with such innocent mind. But as she grows older, like every other kid out there, she began to feel curious and the need to find who she really is. But how can she do it within her so very small box?

Sometimes, I really wonder if she knows that there's so much more outside her tiny box. That there's a whole bigger life with all kinds of people, both good and bad. And experiences which could make her a wiser person.

Every time she tries to break free, there's just something stopping her. And when I look at her in the mirror, I could just see those sad sad eyes. I could understand how she feels...how she just wish to smell the flowers, to feel the sun upon her skin...to try doing all the impossibles.

In my dreams, she sometimes comes to me, telling me how much she wants to soar. Maybe that's one of the reason why she loves looking out into the sky with birds soaring ever so freely. Perhaps one day, she would be soaring just as those birds were...one day...
