Wow, so it's been quite a while since I wrote my last blog entry!
While listening my ipod the other day, I came across one particular song that I thought was extremely profound. That song being Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.
The lyrics struck a cord with me, particularly, ".....And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the lord of song, With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah......"
I think those are words to live by. As humans we go through alot, making it through another day can be the most exhausting thing ever. We make friends, we lose friends, we try and sometimes don't succeed, we love only to sometimes end up broken hearted, we put trust in people to sometimes end up disappointed and we learn, sometimes realizing we learnt nothing at all.
Sometimes we face disappointment after disappointment, but the important thing is that we get back up everytime we fall.
Life is so fleeting - what's the use of going through life being timid and consuming yourself with worry all the time?
I guess the bottom line is ....LIVE!!...love living!!
Despite all the negatives that may come your way, there are many positives although they may not be as obvious. We are lucky... we are living and breathing, getting to experience this journey we call life.
Surround yourself with persons who have a positive effect on your life - those who love you and would be there for you, no questions asked. But more importantly, embrace who you are as a person. Love yourself. Celebrate your existence. And while you're at it, have fun! =]
