a labyrinth.

"we have to learn how to fall then we'll be strong enough to pick up the pieces." 

After going through some rough patches these past few weeks, I broke down & cried in the dorm. My roommates waited for me to be done & later asked what happened. Unexpectedly I began giving a lecture on how life's not all a fun & smiles. I am never a good speaker in these areas nor have I lived old enough to taste every bittersweet events of life but..."it's the past that teaches us to be prepared for the future."

...is what they normally say & believed but I personally think it's still difficult. 

Life is a series of mazes, you go through ups & downs, twist and turns, dead-ends, probably encounter a Minotaur & such. Eventually you will get out from the maze and do remind yourself not to turn back, but keeping moving forward ; to venture the next maze.

Phases in life. 

Memories stay in our minds for a while, probably a long while, it comes and goes and for some, they will never fade. We forget but when a person or an event became a large part of your life, it will be hard to just forget about it. It's nice to visit memory lane once in a while, but don't stay there long enough. Don't be discouraged, people who you thought you can't live without, can live just fine without you. What does that tell you?

Suck it up. 

Pardon me but it's pointless to stay for something that it's not worth staying. Moving on takes baby steps. It's time to stand up, brush your bruises, or tend them with antiseptics or something, and start taking the first step again....into the next maze.

Life is funny. Being alive, having feelings, the ability to see, to hear, to feel, to touch, to taste, giving love, receiving love, losing love...to me is all amazing. Life is amazing. & yet I said life is funny. Funny in the sense that, everyone's luck differs & we all seem to complain about it. Guilty.

But no one had it easy.

Don't ever sit and stare at a dead end. Find a way out. Don't stay too long in memory lane. Time waits for no man.

People come and go. Things come and go. At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and who else knows you best other than yourself? It's time to let go...and keep moving forward.

& that's what I remind myself every day. 

I have been a reckless wreck these past few weeks but, it's time to move on.

但是,请记得我。
