Live each day as if it were your last, but keep all learnings from past mistakes...the sun may set, but as long as the world turns, there will always be a new day ahead.

It Gets Better Everyday

What gets better everyday?!!!

Life.

Waking up to each brand new day, and welcoming the sunshine to touch my skin and warm my heart...these are the things I look forward to everyday. I am reborn every time I wake up even when I die every evening as I sleep.

The weekend that just passed was an eye-opener. After a long, long time, I was able to sit, relax, unwind...and think, just think about my life. Something I haven't done for a long time now, which explains the depression hovering above me for the past few days, and the bleak and vague entries I have been posting here.

You see, I have discerned that I cannot survive without having to spend time by myself, to assess who I've become, and why I dare get out of bed each day. I must be constantly reminded of the purpose of life, of why we breathe in oxygen, of how the heat of the sun can burn our skin, yet make us feel so alive...I thirst for answers, answers which I know mostly possess no absolute truths. I search for meaning amidst the superficiality of worldly existence...

But when this sense of direction falters, I slowly lose all of myself...and blindly live a life full of negativity. However, even in earlier years, I have managed to control this insane condition without having to hit my head with a brick...

And so, I reminded myself to breathe...to look at the sky and wonder at the magnificence of the stars...to find contentment in the simple things, those bountiful blessings we mortals often ignore, but are in fact, more real than what we perceive them to be.

I am ready once more...let all the problems, disappointments and trials rain on me.

Nothing could pull me down...because I know I am fighting the good fight, with God on my side.

We are all lucky to be alive. Be happy. Thank God for it.
