Hi Life ….
Recently, you’ve brought me surprises. You’ve touched me so deep that I almost forgot I’m alive. Through simple things, through unexpectable events, you’ve again amazed me with your wisdom. Yes, I know it’s 1.59AM at night and yes I know I still haven’t finished my "drink" but I can’t help to tell you how much I love you, life … through the ups and downs … you’ve never failed to show me a purpose to all the twists and turns in life.
I learned something from the show "L-Word" (Season 2 Episode 06 - "Lagrimas de Oro" or Gold Tears)… a remarkable question that got me thinking at the moment …. the full quote was as follow:
"You’ve begged, pleaded, plotted, screamed and flailed! And yet, you’ve still not got that thing. That one thing that you most want, that you can’t live without! But! Have you taken the ultimate risk: Have you made yourself vulnerable? Say to yourself, What is the most vulnerable position for me? How can I put myself at risk to lose everything that I have to lose? Because, when you risk losing everything, you invariably stand to gain everything."
I’ve been in the vulnerable position …. it was indeed scary but the experience was worth it. You don’t only gain wisdom but satisfaction. You’ll feel that you’ve been really alive for only that moment.
Never give up on life especially when you think you are going to lose everything, because that’s the moment you may have just gained everything. Thank you, Life. Thank you, Love. And thank you, Kiky … I’ve never forgotten you. Thanks for giving so much joy to my family and made all of us so "vulnerable" when you went away. But afterwards, you showed us what life really means. You are indeed an angel in disguise. Love ya, my lil sister… Nothing has been as wonderful as you …
