Thoughts About Life Novels & Stories

Hindi na kasi katulad ng sa mga bata na halos sa laro at saya lang umiikot ang buhay. I realized that life is not just about being happy; it's not just about getting what you want. It is about striving each day, even though it is tough. It is about learning things not only from your own perspective but more from His'. Each new day is a challenge, but knowing that tomorrow is uncertain is much harder than any other battle that we have to face. Yes, there is no guarantee in this world. Maaaring makasakit tayo o tayo ang masaktan. Magtagumpay tayo o mabigo.

"Don't overthink things. Your career is worth more than fighting for someone who is not fighting for you." Ayokong makipagtalo sa kanya, at hindi ko rin gustong pag-isipan iyon ng malalim. Gusto ko lang ilayo ang sarili ko sa lahat ng kaguluhang gumugulo sa buhay ko. Hindi ako sigurado kung paano ko napunta ang sarili ko sa gulo na ito noong una.

— Habang nakapikit si Lea, naisip niya ang araw. Wala siyang babaguhin. Wala siyang gustong idagdag. Sapat na iyon. Sa kabilang lungsod, si Miguel ay nakatingin sa kisame bago pumikit. At sa isip niya, dumaan ang parehong thought. Sapat na. — At minsan, iyon na ang pinakamahalagang realization sa lahat— na ang buhay ay hindi kailangang maging puno ng extraordinary moments para maging meaningful.

sambit nito sa akin, saka mainam na pinagmamasdan ang mga nagliliparang paruparo sa himpapawid. “You just need to hurdle to make it through the end. Life is just like a wheel, sometimes youʼre in the top, but sometimes, youʼre in the bottom,” pagpapaliwanag ko. “Unfortunately, I donʼt typically believe on that quote. All my life, I didnʼt felt that I had been in the top. For me, I can definitely define that life is survival. You have to do something to survive in this complicated world. Even you have to do something bad that can harm a personʼs feeling,” pangangatuwiran nito sa akin, saka bumuga ng hangin. “I wish I didnʼt exist on this world. Even if I exist, I wish I have died back then. I

“In my world, everything is fast. Decisions are made in seconds, results are expected immediately, and if something is delayed, it’s a failure. But tonight, waiting for the rice to cook, watching you handle a simple mistake with a laugh... it makes me realize that some of the best things in life require you to just slow down and wait.” Napatitig ako sa kaniya, naramdaman ang malalim na kahulugan ng kaniyang mga salita. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa pagkain. Tungkol ito sa amin, sa kung paano kami nagsimula, at sa kung paano namin dahan-dahang binuo ang kung anong mayroon kami ngayon sa kabila ng magkaiba naming mundo.

Ramdam ko na. Sa kabila ng lahat, pilit kong kinakalma ang sarili ko. Kung sarili ko lang ang iisipin ko, sana ay hindi na ako humarap pa sa babaeng minsan ay naging bahagi ng buhay ko. Pero hindi ito tungkol sa akin. Hindi ito tungkol sa nakaraan namin.

At sa totoo lang, marami ring tao ang sarado ang pag-iisip kahit anong paliwanag mo, may masasabi at masasabi pa rin sila. Kaya binalewala ko na lang. Mas marami akong dapat ipag-alala kaysa sa tingin ng mga taong hindi naman kasama sa buhay namin. Mas kailangan kong ihanda ang sarili ko sa mas malaking bagyong paparating.

"Hindi kita makalimutan, alam mo ba iyon? Hanggang sa pagtulog ko ay ikaw ang iniisip ko. Napapanaginipan pa kita. You know there are times where I think everything is meaningless. But you'd always cross my mind as if you are giving me the courage to understand the true meaning of life and what true living is." Gusto ata akong mastroke ng lalaking ito. Sa sobrang lakas ng kabog ng puso ko at sa sobrang bilis nito ay para na akong mahihimatay. He's just giving me too much euphoria. "Isang araw ay nagising na lang akong maraming plano sa buhay. You are part of it. Marami akong gustong gawin kasama ka."

We're reminding ourselves, and them, of the profound impact they have on our lives. Dahil siya pinili niyang pahalagan ang mga tao sa paligid niya ngayon. Dahil hindi niya alam na ano mang oras kayang bawiin ang buhay na mayroon sila. Life, in its unpredictability, teaches us one undeniable truth: time is fleeting. Every shared laugh, every whispered secret, and every comforting touch from those we love is a gift, a fragment of time we'll never get back.

Signs and lessons to be improved. I closed my eyes tightly, as if those words were repeated in my hearing until my heart and mind reached. Does this mean, my life is meaningless? I have no problem in living as normal and ordinary as others are given a solution. For me, there is no solution to my problem. What is my problem? It's big, so big. First, I have no obligation because I have nothing else to do. Just eat, sleep and wake up. Work? Yes, it's just right for my day-to-day expenses.
