Random Thoughts

I can feel the pressure! It has been three weeks since the first day of class and I can already feel the intense pressure of being a Junior Student. Loads of paper works and different tasks to accomplish are given to us daily by our professors. But I am not complaining, okay? I still just can’t believe that I am already at the stage in my life wherein a few years from now, two years to be exact, I’ll be graduating and hopefully will find a good job that will best suits me but that will only happen if I will give all my best in everything that I need to do especially in school and of course with the guidance of God Almighty.

I can still remember when I was just about to enter college, I can’t exactly describe the feeling but I really felt uncomfortable talking about college stuffs back then because a lot of people were telling me that college is really far different from the usual high school setup and others would even say that you have to be more serious in college or else you will not make it. Honestly, all the things that my friends told me are actually true but of course it’s up to you on how you’re going to deal in the world of college. And I am really proud of myself because I was able to make it and the feeling is really great because like what I have mentioned earlier, few years from now I will going to reap the fruit of my labor.

Time really flies too fast. Isn’t it? The sweet little girl they once knew has finally bloomed into a fine young lady. And I really miss the times when I know nothing about the world around me, the times when a lollipop can automatically aid me when I feel bad or even when I am hurt. But now, things suddenly went out of track. It’s been awhile and a lot of changes have been happening constantly in each one of us but we have to accept the fact that the only permanent thing on earth is change. And there are really a lot of things that are happening to test our strength and at the same time to help us learn new things in life. Challenges that will surely help us grow and become better individuals.

REAL LOVE

What does real love mean to me? Many people do not actually know the real meaning and value of love. Some of us simply think of it as having an intimate relationship with someone you like, but I believe that that is not the real meaning of love. For me, Love is more likely intertwined with contentment. If you feel that you are in love or you are being loved, you feel contented and you feel happy. Love can also be about a thing that you have treasured for quite a long time or it may even be about your relatives, significant others or about your craft.

Some of my friends often say that they cannot live without love. Of course all of us can’t! But the funny part about it is when I asked what love means to them, they all basically defined it as a feeling shared by two people who are drawn to each other and are sharing happy memories together. Maybe that is one of the reasons why others won’t believe me every time I say that I am already contented being single, in not having a romantic engagement with someone special to me. Even my friends would often tease me about not having a boyfriend for such a long time. They would even ask me if I am not missing the sweet and fun times of being with someone you love. And one of their questions that really struck me most is when they asked me how I survived in that situation. Every time my friends asked me those questions, I just look at them straight in their faces and give them a smile.

But the truth is I am really happy with what I have right now even if I am not romantically involved with someone I believe I can still be happy in many other ways because love is not always about two strangers that are destined to be together though that’s also a part of it. But I believe that there’s more to it that becomes really special. Love in the presence of my family that has always been there to guide, support and love me unconditionally make me feel really blessed and even the company of my friends that during the darkest moments of my life never left me is enough for me to say that love is within me. And one of the lessons I have learned about love is it’s not just about all the happy memories you shared with those that you love but it’s also about the hardships and sacrifices that you have overcome just to be with them.
