To all those who believed

This may seem so absurd that I am slowly and gradually appreciating the events that transpired and led me to where I am today, and the people behind me that kept on pushing me forward as if I am as so important not to be lost. For whatever reason they have had during my journey to the darkest of paths, I still am eternally grateful that they were willing to be a part of my story. Some stayed, some left, but everyone is not utterly forgotten.

Sadly, there are no such stories with happy endings, for happy endings were only a precedent of the true dark bitter end. Happy endings are just for the stories that have not ended yet.

Sure, things changed for the better. Wars have won so far, but the bruises and scars are just getting deeper and deeper, hiding the gnawing pain inside that no prescription can heal. Without question, everyone will break either from the unhealed wounds or the unending pain deep within their battle scars. Either way, it will just result to an inevitable painful end.

Life is a flawed system, but not a lost cause.

As I traveled this journey so far, I have come to realize the only paradox in life is love. Maybe there are others, but the journey I have been through made me susceptible of love, in so much more ways that I ever have imagined. It made a light that shone through my painful darkness with a mere innocent smile. Sure, there is no exact definition of love, but its what it makes it fleeting. It saves you from your pain and darkness and just disappear, leaving you searching for love again in any form you can imagine. And then you will realize that what hurts underneath those deep scars of yours are the traces of love that once illuminated the path for you, which will make you proudly wear your healing wounds.

After that realization, could you say that life is a lost cause? I do not. But it is truly a flawed system. We humans just hope not to get lost in the darkness for long.
