Journey: What Should've Been But Never Have and Never Will

Here goes another facebook note I was so right into during my 2nd day in Singapore, January 19, 2013 at 12:03pm with all the realizations that dawned on me. And it just felt like I needed to go through this again to remind myself and hopefully others as well...

I always have a couple of questions in mind. But I didn't get to rule them out until I finally decided to leave the Philippines. I am pretty sure there are equivalent answers to every question... But sometimes, after every question and after each answer, there would be regrets...

It should have been like this... it should have been like that... it should have been with you, not them... i should have spent more time doing this than wasting even just a single minute with the wrong stuff.

But at the end of the day, you will realize that there are reasons behind the questions, the answers and the regrets... There would always be.

Rainbows show up after every rain. Not all the time but they'll be there.

That, I know... But...

Why didn't it happen the way we wanted it to be?

Sometimes, it would be as simple as 1, 2, 3... As though saying that it's not for you. But not all people may buy that answer. When you just gave too much of your efforts, when you have just spent so much of your time... and yet you ended up as though you lost? That's not easy to accept. It is indeed disappointing.
What to do?

Do it all again. Pray. If it doesn't work out, think of what made things wrong. Do it again. That is if you are really determined to achieve it. Patience they say is a virtue. And oops! Yeah, love what you are doing.

Why have you met the wrong person?


Easy. They are to teach you lessons in life you will NEVER forget. Especially when it comes to trust. Whatever they may have done to you... Had it been betrayal, secrecy... in whatever form... you should have learned your lesson. It ain't the end of the world if your boyfriend/girlfriend broke your heart. It ain't the end of the world if the person you thought was your friend betrayed you. Yeah, call them "hecks", call them "bitches", call them whatever you want... Let it all out in a way that can't damage you.

Don't suppress the feelings. Don't keep the burden. Let it go. But look at the brighter side of things.

You have what it takes if you just look into you. You don't have to let them use you... You don't need people to damage you. Live healthy. Don't poison yourself.
Boys? Girls? There are many of them. It's just about winning a game but getting through a lot of hurdles before you finally reach the finish line.

Time not spent well?

Hmmm. You may not be able to go back to that time anymore but you can make a difference. Be the person you wanted to be not the person way back then who wanted to do more but trudge the wrong path.
Just make a difference. Repent. Do good not just to others but to yourself as well.
Love yourself. Love God.

I've been drenched in the rain long enough to realize what life should be... what life should've been but i went through the other way. I've had too many mistakes. I thought I would never ever have the chance to correct the mistakes of yesterday... But I was wrong. There would always be the chance to correct them. I want to do it the soonest time possible before it's too late.

Let me do this not just for me... but for a chosen few who have always believed in me...
Let's not dwell on What Should've Been But Never Have and Never Will... have faith instead and move on.
Daddy God is good. He has more candies up ahead than these bitter melons... :)
