After visiting a bookstore yesterday, I realized how many books there are for people who are in their so called ‘ mid-life crisis.’ Fortunately or unfortunately in my case, I couldn’t find a single book or a help forum for someone that’s suffering from a quarter-life crisis.
Yes, that victim is me, myself, and I, it makes me wonder if my crisis is even valid but then again, which crisis is not? Just like some people, I don’t know what to do in many situations, I can’t breathe when I think about it, I’m always trying to figure out a solution to a certain problem to the point that I almost forgot to remind myself to go with the flow.
Maybe it’s a good thing that I don’t know what I want to do, what I want in life, what I should do in certain situations because at the end of the day, I’ll learn and I’ll know what to do. Go with the flow, flow with the flow, and make today the best day because you never know if you’ll have tomorrow. Love life even when it’s at the rock bottom because it’s better than not having one at all.
‘Finding Nemo,’ is one of my all time favorite movies, not only can I relate to his side kick, ‘Dory,’ but because the under water world is as beautiful as I imagined it to be.
I have always wondered what it would be like to dive with the Barracuda and be one of them. I’m stunned to know that it takes an hour plane ride, 20 minutes car ride, and another 45 minutes ride on a speed boat to Sail Rock Island, where the friends of Nemo lives.
If I could I would dive under the sea all weekend long! I don’t know if it’s the sea, the fact that I met the coolest people on the boat, or if it’s just because ‘love is in the air,’ but this trip an enlightening getaway. You know what they say, good things comes when you least expected it to
Pictures? I can’t wait to upload them on my blog! Barrucada Bina!
What is about us humans that make us take things and even other humans for granted? Is it because we’re so sure that the grass is greener on the other side? Maybe it’s human nature, we subconsciously take things for granted and often times we find ourselves missing the good old days back when he, she, and it was yours.
We don’t miss the water until it runs dry, we stepped on plants, cut the trees, and even built so many buildings because we thought that the trees are going to there forever. The world is your oyster, that’s a fact, only if you appreciate it’s good, it’s bad, and it’s imperfections.
Perfectly Imperfect
The grass maybe greener on the other side but until or unless you’re happily settled on that side, appreciate what you have for now.
Here’s the thing about love, it gives you that feeling you have when you’re on a roller coaster, like when you’re about to bungee jump, like when you’re about to meet Johnny Depp in person. I’m sure you know how love makes you feel, it’s unexplainable and as much as I love to lust, the most annoying thing about lust is it’s ability to mimic ‘love.’
Life's a Journey not a Destination
I was an amateur in the game of lust, often mistaken it to be love, and constantly dreaming about the happily ever after kind of ending. Maybe it’s the never ending life experience, the non-stop encounters with random men and women, or hearing my co-workers bitch about love and lust that teaches me to distinguish the two. Either way, if you’re in the boat of love or lust, one good advice is to just go with the flow. Who cares if it’s going anywhere, if it’s going to be a happy ending, or if it’s going to get you laid. Truth is, it’s not really the destination that makes the lust and love ride enjoyable, more like the journey.
“Time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived.”
Taken from ‘Forrest Gump,’ I would like to quote that ‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.’ Three months and three days has gone by since I last blogged.
I’m now 25 years, 22 hours and 16 seconds old; I recently made a life-changing decision involving my future career. I dived in Maldives, stayed in the nicest resort, and I might be a student (again) soon. Quarter Centuranian, I call it with too many things to do in life and very little time to do it.
I decided that in order to celebrate my first blog after my long vacation, I would list down 25 things that I did before I turned 25 years old. Continue reading →
