“The Real Me”

by Denden A. Andang

People sometimes judge me for being so irresponsible. They say that I carry out things without thinking what it may bring me. Maybe they call it foolishness as they have understood it. I say “Life is a matter of choice. It is you who decide for yourself and not other people. If you let them dictate you, then you will never get the happiness you deserve”

I believe not all people live a happy life. Primarily because they let other people interfere on whatever decisions they make. If you really want to get what you really wish to have for yourself you better decide on your own. You understand your situation well enough, than they do. So if you got mislead by them, never throw the blame to anybody because in the first place you let yourself be blinded by their sugary words. I know that it’s not wrong to listen but you should always know how wrong is different from right. As much as possible if I got to picked the wrong choice I do not want to blame anybody. I want that despite of being judged and ridiculed for what I did people will simply remember me as someone who takes the risk and courageously faced the consequences of his mistake.

People believed everything that happen in their lives have purposes. When in reality, what exactly happened to them  whether good or bad were the results of their decisions.  For me even if I got the wrong choice I would never regret it because I know I will definitely learn from it and I  can still put it right in the future. Do not get discourage if you fail to choose the right one just as long as you do not do it again. Anyway your happiness always almost depends on you and not with other people. Don’t be afraid to decide on your own because that is a proof that you choose to be yourself.

Life is indeed wonderful. And as for me I want to taste all it has to offer. It may sound ridiculous but what I’m chasing for is the experience that most people deprived their selves from. The sweetness and the bitterness of life are its natural pieces and no one could ever escape from these. I believe that you can never stay with the happiness of life without being stranded to its hostility. So if you ever get to encounter any of these, be thankful and grateful because God has always something that will surprise us.
