Just A Thought

Dear Oblivion,

This is a battle between the mind and the heart.

As the minutes passed on to hours, the hours turn into days, and days rolled down to weeks I have found in my heart that there are things needed to be resolved inside rather than on the outside. I heard a man tell me just days ago that, "an experience never reflected on is such a wasted experience."

It's amazing how you can let yourself go in that maze of sadness, longing, and regret for the longest time. As I've found out through the days it is when the heart sinks at the bottom end of the ocean that it finally chooses to seek light from the sun.

We get buried in our emotions, feelings, thoughts, and everyday activities that we never take the time to just pause and be quiet. We always assume that there are far better things to do outside than take the time to talk to ourselves and look deeply within.

When have you ever done that? Where you just sat on a chair and took the time to do three long and well inhaled-exhaled breaths? It's such a wonderful experience. All the noise suddenly turn into buzzing sounds ringing in your ear and the vibrations of positive energy sit there with you.

Life is clever sometimes. In the busiest moments, silence is there to touch our hearts. It is truly in the deepest desires of the heart to find happiness in the crappiest of days and the mind is just a dog attached to a leash.

As the days have gone by, I've come to realize that the heart would always find a way to speak louder than a noisy mind does. It is only up to us to listen --- to finally listen and adhere to what it says.

Three things happen when we finally learn to listen and the realizations start to pour in:


The mind is clever when you mix it with the illusion of time. We think we know too well how it works but it can be the biggest con of all time. The heart on the other hand, would then tell you that it's time to decide and take action for your mishaps.

You think you are in loved with someone for the longest time but your heart will fight for you and tell you that you are just in loved with that thought of loving someone.

When silence comes and we listen to our hearts, the biggest realization of it all is that, time heals. In that healing we realize that time is indeed reality and not an illusion.

We are now awake.
And when we are awake...

Every path is a straight direction but sooner or later that path we're going through might change its course. We wouldn't know when but we will be the ones to decide on how fast or how slow our pace will be to get to our destination.

We learn lessons from the most painful experiences, it is up to us which lessons we must take to decide to be the better version of ourselves in everything we do. It is also up to us to decide whether we got something from the process of being hurt or we're just walking dummies on this planet ready and willing to be tested on for trauma.

It is up to us...
It's totally up to us,..

In every situation we have the best guns that the Universe can offer---free will and choice. In the case of failed relationships in life we can always choose to be the victim or the heroes of our own stories.

Moving on together with letting go are probably the most difficult tasks we will ever undertake in our existence. I've come to realize as the days passed, we make choices for ourselves 24/7. No one else in this world will ever do this for us to be better. And for me, ultimate decisions/choices in life are only limited to two:
     
      A. To be happy
      B. To be sad and lonely

No matter the successes or the failures these two choices might give us the ultimate satisfaction or the worst kind of depression. I'd rather choose A than go with B. Which would you want for the rest of your life? I'd like to think you chose A because I strongly believe that no one in this world would deliberately choose to be sad and lonely forever.

I personally think, that the mind is not something that we should always hear because it is never silent, it yearns for more understanding, and the yearning never stops. The heart on the other hand, is the seat of all our feelings, it is the most quiet place in the world and when we hear it sing we must finally choose to listen.

Life is too meaningful to spend time with people who make you feel less happy about yourself and about the choices you make. We are wonderful beings made not to feel lonely forever. We are filled with so much light in our hearts that even in the shadows we can move mountains and part seas.

Then everything is finally possible.
