Is it really worth it?

One of our brethren in church had a skiing accident during the holidays. The first time I saw her with crutches was really a blow in my gut because I never imagined that such an independent person has now become dependent on others.

But despite her condition she continues to manifest that zest for life. She even told me that all the pain was worth it because skiing gives her that sense of freedom. She feels invincible while skiing down those slopes.

Contemplating on her views made me realize that there are some pains and anguish that we go through in life that can fall under the category of being "worth it". I can't help but admire those people who take on big risks regardless of what the outcome may be.

As for me, I still prefer the idea of taking a calculated risk. It gives me a sense of security somehow.

When Enough is Enough

It was 3:30 a.m. in my watch when I woke up from a dream. I couldn’t go back to sleep so I decided to just scribble something down. I guess I wasn’t alone coz after a couple minutes I got a SMS from one of my girlfriends in HK. She’s one of those lonely hearts nowadays but I know she’ll snap out of it when time comes.

I just wanted share this song I heard this morning when I woke up and I guess this is my subtle way of putting my message across.

If the Feeling is Gone
Ella Mai Saison

If the feeling is gone
Please don’t pretend
That you still love me
I can see it in your eyes
And it hurts to admit it
But I can tell that the feeling is gone

All I ask is just a little honesty
Though I know you’re not coming back to me
You know I’ll do everything to make you stay
But I just have to let you go
If the feeling is gone

There’s a sadness in your smile
But you try to conceal it
I can tell that the feeling is gone

All I ask is just a little honesty
Though I know you’re not coming back to me
You know I’ll do everything to make you stay
But I just have to let you go
If the feeling is gone

Touché! Sometimes, we expect to be told that certain things are over. We deserve some honesty because in one way or another we are part of the whole picture. There will never be an easy way to break somebody else’s heart but some things are inevitable. If you know there will not be a substantial thing between you and this person you consider special then maybe it’s time to say enough is enough. Ate Cons, hope you’ll be able to read this.
