the dots behind the people we meet

Ever so often, we chance upon someone new, or perhaps someone from the past. A friend or foe, the truth will unfold, but until then, we will never know. Some people are blessings from above - they shine their lights onto our paths, guiding us, pushing us and encouraging us, ever so gentle, ever so firm. And yet others we meet are pure vermin. They pollute our minds, rip our dreams apart and never stop draining us down. These are the people we have to watch out for, these are the people we have to rid ourselves off.

I can only thank heavens for bringing so many positive people into my life.

I’ve decided to start living for myself again. To start planning my goals, to start working on how to get there and to start fueling my rocket with explosive amounts of energy to get there. All I can say to these people is thanks for kicking my ass, thanks for waking me up. I’d still be dreaming on and on if not for you!

My dad told me this recently. “Life doesn’t always go the way you plan it to be. But that doesn’t mean that you just toss in the towel and give up.”

That’s true I guess. You hang in there and fight. You fight till you see the light again. You fight not only because of survival but you fight also for those you care about. Rejoice that you survive today, because it means that you have another chance to live on fighting.

Thanks Dad. Thanks to all of you who’ve gave me strength. Thanks.
