having enough..

you wish you have more..but hey, don’t you have just enough..

a friend used to remind me every now and then that contentment is the only way to happiness..when you’re content with what you have and who you have, there’s hardly any room for lonely frustrating mood-sucking cravings..

to be happy is to be content..then again it is a state of mind..just as you can always choose to be happy..right, you can..then might as well start choosing to be content..

contentment is never complicated to begin with..it all starts and ends with a humble knowing that what you have is all you’ve got (at least, for the time being..) and being so, might as well make the dire most of what best you can maketh out of what’s in the palm of your hands..

and should you have more or less..what difference would there be..all the same, you will be glad about whatever is there..some or none, you’ll get by..

after a while..

after a while, you do learn and unlearn..and you do learn to unlearn..

you learn the lessons every stride of your journey is sending your way..
it does pay to listen..
you unlearn the ways that maketh you an inch lesser a human being..
well, at least you try..

the intricacies of things, you need not bother..
some are just there to distract you..
or make out the least and the worst in you..
mind you, it never really is worth the ear..

and you do learn to unlearn a fall, a pain, an ache..
sure it does take a while..sometimes a long while..
but the rewards of it are indeed worth a while..
sure you can learn to unlearn..

if it has been for a while now..
take a grip and start making that tiny step forward..
keep moving on and on and on..
til you’ve learned to unlearn..

somehow you’ll be surprised..amazed even..
by how hard you’ve been holding on..
by how much you’ve grown..
by that silent strength amidst it all..

the hate campaign..

there’s no point living in bitterness and hatred and madness and resentment..and i’ll never ever understand why it’s how most humans choose to live..

there’s not one or two or ten persons i’ve known who, in most instances, choose to live otherwise..

some walk with heads up high..deny their ‘loser attitude’ tendencies..desperately sporting the look that should stand by the façade ..they’d go day by day with the coolness and spunk and charms of an airhead..they’d say one thing and act another..they’d shout it out how in no way they’re bitter lasses and lads..yet a gesture or two, they turn out to be walking hypocrites on the face..

some do less talk..but actions do reveal more..then again, i’ve known and learned since kindergarten that actions speak louder than words..

and so where fiduciary relations are knitted with monetary value, i plead my case..my trust for others i’ve revoked a million times or so..

while everything around us practically comes with a price, i shouldn’t be trusting any more than i ever could..

pardon the cynic in me again..but i do not spare myself from the madness in my midst at all..even if i find it hard to swallow other’s disgusting behavior, i should try to curtail this hate campaign..before whatever more or less a havoc it can stir..

and desperately crave for justice all the more..

the stretch worth-stretching..

it's enough that you took the challenge head-on..it sure musn't have been that swift and easy..at least, you surfed it through or perhaps crawled your way through it..however you did it..with grace or an unkempt rowdy hair..would it still matter..you've been braver i am sure..

it's more than enough that you took every step of it with faith..sometimes, the efforts, when right and sincere are compensated fairly..they do..that i would take a bet on..

then i wouldn't be able to put squarely what it takes to ace the game..but i sure do know understand the power of hardwork..you only do reap the things you cared to sow..don't be such a nut not to get it..

and i can hear them all blabbing..it's really no sweat..just nosebleed!:>
