Introspection

Written by Mike Gallego

In our time, people have always been focused on their different works and stuff that can make their lives easier and more comfortable. They always think about getting the hassles of existing daily. They mull over too much on the things they are set to do that they do not have enough time to stop and contemplate where they are, what they have achieved, and where they are going.

Thankfully this summer, I was given a time off. And in that span of time, I had the chance to make some reflections and realizations. I realized that a lot of things had occurred, a lot of words had been spoken and a lot of people had been hurt and taken for granted. There were a lot of concerned conversations that I did not take seriously, words of wisdom I refused to heed, aspirations I had left behind, and closeness that I almost had let go and a friendship I had given up... sacrificed.

I realized that I have become almost wholly unresponsive to others – to a lot of things. I have discovered that great pride had devoured and swallowed up the serene, perceptive, earnest, and flexible side of me. I had been overpowered by excitement and irritation sooner than I realized.

It is now great to note that before everything is late, I was reinstated to my good sense. I was able to recognize my shortcomings and mistakes. I could have been living now a life filled with bile. All I could say now is: MAKE the RIGHT ACTIONS, FOCUS on the RIGHT THINGS and SPEAK the RIGHT WORDS before the going gets too serious… before the problem becomes irresolvable… before someone leaves… BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Just always take things easy, get a time to pause and ponder… because LIFE IS SHORT.

You were not able to connect your title with it's content. I did not see the forte of your entry; moreover, you were not able to give an elaborate introduction and a hearty conclusion. However, I acknowledge the fact that there were realizations within such writings.

i know and it's a reality that is difficult to accept. in every situation, even if everything goes unfair for you, you should always choose to do what is good/right.

Use your summer to reflect, Kuya. :]

So that you can be able to fully let go of the friendship you sacrificed.
