The night have grown cold but what I feel inside brings chill down to my spine. I don't know whether if it is just my intuition or if it is the truth that I am trying to avoid. I feel so helpless. I feel so weak. I feel so distracted. It feels so strange. I can sense a very solid and high barrier that is blocking my way, trapping me in this cold dark room yet I can hear noises. Yes! They're everywhere! They're telling me everything that is happening on the outside world. But still, I don't want to just listen to their stories. I want to be out there! I want to get out from here and run! Run away from this prison cell. I want to explore the world and see it for myself. Little did I know that my thoughts had been filled with the world outside and the fact that where I am now is never a cold dark room- I made it a cold dark room. This is but an empty room and the world outside are my desires, goals, dreams.
Instead of finding a way to slowly build a staircase to reach my goal, I dreamt too high on finding a shortcut to be on top.
Life is never an easy ride. Life is never a calm sea.
For life is filled with a rough, rocky road. Life is but a wave of challenges.
You can never find the real happiness if you focus your aim to a shortcut, a backdoor success. For happiness is when you look back to your past struggles and tell yourself "I made it!". I choose to go the long way not because I wanted to, but because I needed to. For REAL GLORY can be FELT WHEN YOU WORK YOURSELF UP JUST TO REACH YOUR SO CALLED- Success.
