Courage

It is a curious thing, the way beliefs shape our way of thinking and how we act. No no, I am not going back to what I wrote in one of the previous entries. Rather, this has something of a personal value to me and how it greatly affects me.

This week was a sheer torture, to say the least. I never had so much self-doubt, so much fear, so much sadness. When I finally did what my heart had been urging me to, it triggered a chain of carthartic events which really, really changed me internally. At the end of it all, I could finally wipe my eyes and say,"I did it without any regrets."

I don't know what I did was right. I don't know. But my feelings were, and are still as earnest and genuine as before. The only thing that changed was that I needn't hide anymore. Maybe I still need to. But at least, the truth that I painfully hid so long was something I needn't deliberately conceal now.

I struggled with my imperfections and I loathed them. Yet, when I finally decided to use my tears to wash those vulnerabilities away, I felt stronger...

Courage heals pain. Sometimes, all we need to do is to feel our hearts and leap across our perceived obstacles and then we exhilrate in the knowledge that we have done something we once thought we never have the courage to do so. Truths are sometimes lies. Lies are sometimes truths. If we never go beyond those boundaries, we will never discover what is the truth, a sweet truth that brings true happiness.



Be Strong
Delta Goodrem

Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see

'Cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong

Where taking each step one day at a time
You can't loose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone

'Cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong

No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're allowed to cry

'Cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong
