seriously now..

for once, after my years of being just an spectator in school, i've finally found myself--living. being the actor that i should be in this drama called life..
for once, after so many complaints and pointing a bad finger at someone else--at times, at my own self, i've finally found myself--breathing. pumping precious oxygen into my 'ideals-filled' air bags.
for once, after so many years of theories, i've finally found myself--acting. doing things i never thought i could do--or would do. but i did.
for once, after so many failures, i've finally found myself achieving..affirmed. recognized. savoring the sweet scent of victory made possible by the pungent smell of losing.
and i realized: living is the only way to survive.u breathe the air of maturity and respond to the call of 'adulthood.' that daring to survive sometimes means going against traditions; preconceived notions; challenging the status quo; but accepting the FACT that u r IN A SOCIETY--you are because u r affirmed to be...and that others may not always see ur point, accept u, may not even know of ur existence. but u r there. and u knw that. that knowledge is ur stepping stone. i am here. i am different. i am. and because i dared to live, i took the risk. as a mother took the risk of dying when she is giving birth. failures. hardships. NORMAL. there r no shortcuts to victory. the only way to survive is to be there. know ur there. cherish the unfolding of life. experience. live. open ur eyes. hear. taste. feel. see. understand.
because there r things u take forgranted but would have given u that BIG BREAK had u taken the chance of giving it a second glance.
