It has rather been an emotional journey for me. I am in my first week of office and everything seems ok. I just hope that I can adjust normally and get along really well with my work and my colleagues. Time flies fast indeed! I now face the real thing, with almost everything down to zero once again. I am going forward to new beginnings. I am a fan of beginnings.
Beginnings. Indeed, I am looking at things with new eyes once again, hoping that the future holds all my heart's desires. The wonder of it all captures itself in the serene smile of a child, innocent amid the complex realities of the world. The candor of a soldier is belittled by the sweet laughter that finds itself dancing with the cadence of the wind as the soft breeze beckons me to sleep. As I dream of worlds forlorn, over and above the castles of yesteryears; as the fantasies of worlds beyond our imagination build into the smoky air, there seems to be a light, dim as it is, calling for my soul to jump into the vastness of the mystery of life. It is a leap of faith, a leap I have to make yet again as I journey into a world, unknown, unchartered yet full of promise. In that leap, I raise my voice with all the might I can master, and declare to the universe and all there was, there is and there will ever be, that I am who I am. I am the creator of my destiny, the captain of my ship. As I tread the waters and dive into the uncertainty of it all, in my heart springs joy, an eternal joy from within only comparable to that sweet laughter.
If in my heart, I find emptiness, it is only because I do not have someone to share my life with. If in my heart, there is longing, it is only because I do not have someone to share my love with. If in my heart, there is a yearning desire, it is only because I do not have someone to share my journey with. The road may seem long and arduous, as countless have tried to climb the mountain of their destiny, but I shall soar above the sky and view the mountains as my home for eternity.
I look toward the horizon, emboldened by the realization that I am loved, that I am blessed, and that all I ever need is within my grasp. I am strengthened by the joy I feel, by the gratitude that springs from my heart for the wonderful years that have gone by. It is indeed a wonderful journey. It is just beginning.
Today, I declare it to the universe, I shall conquer my heart. I shall conquer the world.
Bliss, sweet bliss!
