Novel & Cerita Life Is About Choices

Claire's Choices. Life is all about the choices we made. Some choices made us who we are today, some made us regret and some made us happy. We become who we are with the choices we made. It is part of our life. At the end of the day, those choices define the life that we live. "It was an impressive move from you, hija," nakangiting papuri ni Don Manuelo. He was talking about the pictures that I posted on my social media account when we went to Palawan together with my crew. It garnered almost a thousand likes and positive comments from the netizens.

Lahat naman talaga may pagpipilan, siguro malas lang natin dahil kadalasan, yung choices na pinili natin ay hindi maganda ang dulot sa buhay natin. Yes, it made us happy and satisfied at first. Pero, sabi nga, ang buhay kagaya lang din ng pagkain, kapag hindi kinain ng ilang araw, pa-panis rin. "But there's uncertainties in life that will leave us no other option to choose but to grab the only choice available." Aniya, which is correct. For sure, may malaki siyang buhat na problema. But because of his fierceness, ay hindi napapansin.

“Sir, wala na akong ibang mapupuntahan. Pinili ko na magtrabaho para sa inyo sa simula pa lang at pananagutan ko ito. Hindi na po ako magdududa.” “Ang mga desisyon mo ay ang nagbibigay daan ng landas ng buhay mo. Magiging mabuti ang buhay mo kapag tama ang mga desisyon mo, at mabibigo ka kapag mali ang mga pinili mo. Nakapag desisyon ka na, kaya tingnan natin kung saan ka nito dadalhin,” Ang sabi ni Wilbur.

“Pero pinipili mong manatili rito.” Tumigil ako sa ginagawa. Binalingan ko siya tingin. “Oo, may choice ako. Pero hindi lahat ng choice, maganda. Yung iba, desperado. At kung nasaan ka ngayon, kung anong ginhawa ang meron ka, hindi mo ‘yon nakuha sa pagpili mo. Sa swerte mo ‘yon. Kami? Wala kaming swerte. Araw-araw kaming lumalaban para mabuhay.”

Nalulungkot ang nanghihina niyang mga mata. "Things happen when you least expect them. You shouldn't be regretting your life choices. Instead, cherish them. Either they were the worst or the best. There's no more point of regretting. Move on from the past and look forward to the future. That's the best you can do to enjoy your remaining days," I said. He then looked at me and smiled. "Seems like you know a lot about life." "I am no expert. I just know how you feel with your situation right now. I knew the feeling of something about to end and you can't just do something about it. All you can do is to live everyday and wait until your last breath comes."

Nakatulala akong naglalakad papunta sa classroom. My mind was still on the clouds and I felt so light like a feather dancing with the wind. Gusto ko nalang matulog nang napakahaba, yung sa sobrang haba, ayoko nang magising pa. Life is full of sacrifices and choices. In every move, you choose and sacrifice the latter. You cannot be successful without sacrificing the one that really has a big part in your heart, that part would just be a burden and hinder.

#MTDC70: Final Chapter Pt. 1 “Life is the most precious gift our Almighty has ever given to us. We should treasure every single minute of our lives for our time only happens once. We should cherish whatever life has to offer us. Not all people can be given a second chance…”

Paulit-ulit na sakit na paulit-ulit ko lang din nginingitian at binabalewala na lang. Kaya lang bilang mas malakas ang pag-ibig kaysa sa taong makasarili kaya siguro mas nanaig ang pagmamahalan namin ni Dylan na naging dahilan para sumuko si Macy at piliing magbagong-buhay. Sa buhay natin, lagi tayong may pagpipilian. Laging may mga bagay na nakalahad sayo para piliin mo. It's either you choose the right or the wrong path for you.

Ang tinutukoy ko ang ay mga taong naghihirap ngayon dahil sa virus. "Sometimes we should be selfish for the sake of others," sagot niya, at tiningnan rin ako. "Not all bad things are really bad, and not all good things are really good," dagdag niya pa. Ibinalik ko naman ang atensiyon ko sa langit. "But what if... what if I am choosing the wrong choice? Madami ang madadamay sa isang maling desisyon," halos pabulong na sambit ko.

Your life is valid. Not all people will be supportive of your decision whether your friends or family, it’s better to keep everything to yourself because there will always be someone that won’t agree with you. If you want it go for it! Stop listening to other people's decisions and follow their opinions. Your life is your decision, you are the driver of your own life. Choose whoever you want to love after all it’s you and your heart who’s in love. We all have a different perspective. Protect your sanity. Protect your life. Protect your dream. Protect your plans. Protect yourself.
