Self and the World

these days, i had ample time to reflect on things, the lot that i go through right now and that of others too

it dawned on me how lucky i am.

i am fortunate enough to spend quiet time to hear loud lessons i have to instill to my very being.

it is true, ms.min2x told me that this isn’t just a trip to search for a job but this is more of a trip to search within.

as days unfold, i get to know much of myself.

i have not liked the way i have spent my life for the past days here, i am harboring negative feelings for i have been living a life of a full-fledged bum.

a lot of my friends told me that i have to enjoy the “stillness” of my world for busy days might be on its way soon and that i’ll miss the kind of easy-going-no-pressure-life i am into now.

i just forced myself to believe on what they suggest.

but looking at the whole picture, there is truth to it.

i have to enjoy the time when i can acknowledge the blessings i have been bestowed.

i have to appreciate the time when i can be attentive to look and listen to what is really within me.

i have to grab the opportunity which allows the flush of insights and realizations to cross my thoughts and lay me a new angle on how to view life in a better way.

it does not follow that since i just see the four corners of the room everyday, i also think just like one who’s been stagnant in a box for the longest time and does know anything about the grandeur outside of it.

i can attest that it is not always the case; though i have started to realize that the more one wanders, the more she has experiences to share.

the world can actually be seen from the box

but the world is far better if you experience it yourself.

in the case of oneself; it’s more meaningful when one learns the art of introspection…

because the more one knows about what is within her, the more she can appreciate what the world offers.
