The Word, Best

Sleepless nights, borrowed time, and priceless effort doesn’t give you an “assured remark”, it doesn’t guarantee that you will get paid with a great price. The worth of something you want to achieve isn’t measured by these sacrifices; although sometimes, your critics would give credit to it. Yes, it seemed unfair knowing that you’ve invested so much on something and you will gain nothing, but that’s just it, you don’t get something for free, no matter how much time and money you’ve spent, or even if you put your health at risk.

I’m not complaining, I’m just saying simply because, it’s what my mind has been dwelling on since this morning. And I realize that, it’s a matter of aiming for the best, that maybe, just maybe, it’s what our mentors would always want us to do, though each of them (even us, students), have our own ways of dealing with the idea of “aiming for the best” or even understanding things that has something to do with it. Ways that are oftentimes unfathomable to some people, especially to students who couldn’t seem to relate or understand his/her mentor’s level or way of thinking.

Anyway, as I was saying, aiming for the best isn’t more concerned about the output you can give, but the output’s quality. It isn’t just enough that we comply what is required. What I’m trying to say is that, if someone tells you to make a kite, the task doesn’t end the moment you finish constructing the kite, nor does it mean that you’ve already reach the task’s finish line. Absolutely, no! You have to make the kite fly!

Furthermore, I get the idea that we sometimes tend to settle for what we could only do now for some reasons like we ran out of time or it’s just too hard to make the best out of something. So I came to thinking that, if only we are not overly concerned on the idea of failing as a hindrance to our success and take the bright side of it instead, then we could have done better. The failures would even give room for enhancement and perseverance.

After all, we all have our own ways of understanding things.

Stolen

You epitomize the intimidating beauty of coldness in spite of its warmth all over your expression. You’re the exact personification of confusion since day one but still charming as the snuggling Shih Tzu. You unintentionally paint pictures of simple gestures and unconsciously draw me smiling all by myself. I'm not really sure where this is taking me but I'm willing to leave everything behind and move forward. I don't know what this entails but I'm willing to take risks for as long as you and I deserve it. I'm not so sure of what this means to you but I want you to know that I'm willing to open up if only you'd ask me to. You intimidate and irritate me, Yet you inspire me. - M

Sadly Missed, Lovingly Remembered

There were two persons who came to my life whom I barely know but both touched my life unexpectedly, shared a great secret to me and had left me the moment I needed them most. The only difference they have was that the first person promised to come back while the other one didn't say a word. I've been waiting for the first person to come back for almost half a decade but she never showed up, the only thing she had left me was a small Science Dictionary. I've been searching for her in the internet. I was young then that's why I couldn't remember her exact appearance. I lost her phone number and all I have was the name of the town where she came from, if only I could go there by myself then I would have done it a long time ago. The second one was the person who taught me to be strong, the person who said that there were still good things he found despite of my shortcomings, the person I thought would never leave me, and the person who made me change the ...

Out Of Reach

Moonrise, I gaze at you before me, too far but you seem so close... Twilight, you shine like you're the only one that lights up my world... You fill up the darkness so I could see the beauty around me... Your shadow draws through me like it is intended that way... Yet I know you aren't shining only for me, I'm really dreaming... As you start to go higher, you become too far to reach, worlds apart... And I am left alone in the darkness yearning for you to come back... But even if I could turn back time, still, I can't hold on to you for good... You have a life to live, a mission to fulfill and I am out of the picture... All that I get to do is treasure those times I get near you and keep it... - M
