Changing the World?

Changing the world seems to be a hard way for a student like me. Sometimes I look around and I find people on streets begging for coins of a few changes. They sit there, waiting, as if they are waiting for a miracle. Sometimes some people who have generous heart pass by and toss some coins to them. Some just walk by without even looking. Maybe it`s because many of those beggars are not beggars, and it`s because people believe they can still do more than just begging.
Why are there poor people? I ask myself all the time. And why can't this economy getting better?
The first thing that crossed my mind was the word "Laziness". Maybe they did have a chance to be better, but they wasted it. But who in the world is comfortable living that way? I bet something in their heart knocks them so hard, telling them that this is not they way it is supposed to be.
So the next thing I guessed was the word "Education". In poor countries, although education is necessary, many children choose not to go to school and study. The lack of education will not expand their mind that there is so much more they can be than just beggars. There are so many things they have not seen. I think they are not motivated enough to study. This lack of motivation happens because of the environment. The not-supporting surroundings.
You see, we are so lucky, not having to live the way they do. I can see that there are so many people still trying their best to live a better life. But how about the poor ones? The children who can't even go to school? The adults who can't even read?
So how can we help them? How can we bring the change? How can a student like me help?

L I V E

I have always believed that we are born for some reasons. Not explainable and covered by time, we are living each day, not just to survive, but to find out those purposes. Some people do not have to take a while. They know where they belong already, and easily find out who they were born to be. But for another, who are floating in the middle of uncertainty, hoping that someday they will find a land to anchor, it takes time. And sometimes, it is indeed depressing when you spend each day wondering who you are and why you are here. But that's a life lesson, friends, and believe me, we will all get by. Look and each sunrise and tell yourself, you have to seek a chance and never let it go. Because when you find who you are, you will know all the answers you seek. Some people come to your life, some people stay, and others walk away. There is a reason behind every step people leave in your life. A reason that will later define you who you are. 


So do not worry. You are still alive, and each time you breathe, you have time. Do not waste it. Seek out chances and make them happen. Dream and reach it, and yeah, LIVE.

Fix You

Someway, somehow, I'd like to imagine that I am a machine. A machine with age. A machine with its own functions. When I was young, I learned how to be a good machine. But as time went by, there was a time when something tempted me. Something bad, that influenced me. And one day, that bad thing had forced me to be broken.
God was there. He was my technician. He was my creator. He knew everything about me. And as He took a gaze upon me, He saw how broken I was. I nearly died. I'm sure there was a conversation happening, His thoughts about me: "Should I fix this machine, or should I just throw it away?"
But God is forgiving. He tried to fix me, and He did. It took a while for me to recover, but then, I was healed. I am function again since then. Although I was once broken, God has fixed me. He did not throw me away. He still wanted me. As I am living now, I can't be more grateful for this life. Many machines have broken and died, but He fixed me. I believe He wants me to do something I haven't done. To find my purposes. And although I was broken once, I am going to live as if I had never been broken before. Happiness, is simple. Happiness, is our choice.


Live each day as if you had never been hurt or broken before. :)

Involuntarily

I think it's wonderful how love works involuntarily. Less effort, more happiness...

When, Be

When the night seems too dark,
Be my light against all the fear.

When the day seems too bright,
Be my shade against the sun.

When the wind seems to blow hard,
Be my place to take cover.

When the loneliness screams out loud,
Be my friend to talk to and to share.

When the pain takes a while to cure,
Be my medicine and take it all away.

When I'm standing near the crossroads,
Be my compass, and guide me home.

Seriously Lost

            I've been thinking about my future a lot lately. Not just about who I want to be, but will I still be doing this in the next five years?
            Uh, I've been working as an accountant's assistant in a company. Why? It was all my idea. I thought it would be great to have an idea of how this profession will lead me in the future. But sadly to say, I didn't enjoy it. Not because of the people there, or the surroundings, but the job itself. I can't stand sitting in front of a computer trying to figure out where those people did it wrong. I can't stand numbers. I 'd like to imagine how I will do in the next five years. Accounting is NOT there. I can't see a clear future with it. Okay, I admit it is a safe and promising profession. But to a girl like me, who is still unstable and naive, I can't stand it. I need something adventurous, and that is out of numbers. I hate numbers. 
           Second problem, looks like my parents are starting to agree that I can do well in music. However, because I am working, I don't have enough time to practice. Even if I have a little time, I can't concentrate because I am sooo tired. They would always complain, but they never know how it feels. To do things you can't manage in one day. They definitely do not fit in my shoes.

So what now? Why am I here? :(

Make your life as your best interest, and cherish everything, because things last before your eyes :)

Faux Relationship

A faux relationship is like a child and a toy. The child will always admire the toy from the distance, then finally he gets the toy. For a while, he loves it so much, but after a while, he's getting bored and slowly leaving it, and setting an eye for a new one.

Sparks

Don't try to light up the fire anymore. The sparks have died long time ago and now they refuse to burst.

Own Anything

When you love someone or something, you don't have to own anything. Love can work alone, but if it is alone, it also produces pain...

True Forgiveness

Saying, "I forgive you" is sometimes just a figure of speech. The true forgiveness happens inside your heart.

Haunt of Regrets

Do not hesitate only because of the haunt of regrets. They will someday come, but if you are mature enough, you will consider them as experiences that shape your life.
