Novel & Cerita Life Is Struggle

How I wish you were still by my side during those times I needed someone like you the most. It's hard to live life the way we want to, especially when it's not what's meant for us. We can't rewrite our story just because we wish to. If this is what God has written for us, then we must learn to embrace it. We may not be able to change it, but we can grow through it. Because beyond every pain and struggle, there are far greater things waiting for us, things that will make all the suffering worth it. "Mama!" a small voice called from behind me.

And once we are able to overcome it we could have the right weapon and power to use in our everyday lives to continue fighting, striving, and moving. Life really is like a stage. But one thing we should always realize is always to do our best, to give our 100 percent so that we are able to triumph over any kind of challenges that stand our way. Moreover, standing up where I am now was not easy, I get to have a lot of failures and rejections.

But it all boils down to one thought, ordinary is sucks and reality is a jerk. Some people believe that your destiny is already written, that it was already designed by the creator, and that suffering is inevitable part of life to give some spice. What I can say is that life is a struggle for survival. If you’re weak, you will lose, and if you are too strong, well, you will also lose, because being too strong is simply known as "self-destructing people". That’s why I chose to be in the middle, to be clever.

It's a messed-up existence, a constant struggle My life ain't a stroll in the park. It's a journey through the shadows of a family tangled in secrets, a tale written in the dark, bloody ink of the underworld. Living as a member of Foedus, a mafia organization, is no walk in the park. There's no mercy in this world, just survival in the brutal dance of power and alliances.

He shifted on his position so our face would level. "Baby.. you are not dirty. You were harassed but that doesn't make you dirty. You maybe broke but that's because people keep on breaking you. But look at you, everyday you make a choice to live, everyday you try to conquer your darkness." "Nakalimutan mo naba? I wanted to die. I might have struggled to live but the truth is I just want to end my life. Nothing's good coming from me, I am nothing but darkness, I am the darkness I am trying to conquer."

Bahala na. I would just act like nothing really happened between us. And besides, knowing that man, hindi lang naman siguro ako ang nakahalikan no'n. Of course, there are plenty of bitches in the sea. So, why would I be bothered so much, right? I would just treat it as another 'struggle' that I have to face in my life. Yes. A struggle. A struggle of being dry for years. Pagkatapos kong maligo at magbihis ay agad na akong bumaba. Nasa hagdanan pa lamang ako ay agad nang nag-angat ng tingin sa akin si Luke habang nanonood ito ng palabas sa TV.

I'm not used to it so I have to shift my attention to something else. "It is," he answered. "I don't think there's an easy course. We all go through different kinds of struggles. I guess it just really depends on how you manage your time and how courageous you are. Hindi pwede ang mahihina sa Med. You can't last if you're too weak," he added.

Kompanyang pinahirapan ko. "Alam mo Irene, sa lahat ng mga paghihirap na pinagdaanan ko noon sa buhay narealize ko na, wala naman talagang secret o formula para umangat sa buhay. Kailangan lang talaga determinasyon at pagpupursige. Kasi in between, marami kang ma-e-encounter na ups and downs. There are so many struggles, rough roads, hindrances. There are so many failures that lies ahead. But all of that are part of the process."

Namuhay ako na puro paglaban lang ang ginagawa ko sa buhay. Hindi uso sakin ang panay pagbawi dahil wala naman akong choice kundi ang lumaban. Ganyan ata talaga ang buhay ng mga mahihirap na tao. Ang buhay nating mga ordinaryong tao.

If I can only be like them, having freedom and doesn't have any problems, ang tanging problema lang ay saan kukuha nang pagkain at saan lalapag. I wish I could spread my wings freely yung wala kang pake sa sinasabi ng iba, para lang sa kaligayahan mo. But we were born in a world that is like a labyrinth, it has many puzzles and mazes to be solved before you get to the top. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. "Why is life so hard?" tanong ko at napalingon naman sya sakin. "It is not life if it's easy." Napatahimik nalang ako. May sense din naman palang kausap ang goon nato.
