Just be yourself

Save me from this cruel bit of humanity left it me! Make me what I was meant to be not what I wanted nor what I am. Accept who I am for I can never be who I was. The world may change but you can never change me.

Case Closed:
"You can't hide the truth from me!"

$(o^_^o)$

What is it about this show/series I love so much? The thrill? The action? The mysteries? Ohh... I really really want this anime!

If only... *daydreams* *sighs* I wish I had an original copy of its complete episodes... *mind wanders off: eyes looking far-away, a small smile forming on the lips... hopeful*

-->to all promoters and fans of the anime, Detective Conan: Hey There! thanks for the all the pics and stuff! hehe.. just greeting you all!

We SHOULD LIVE To Die To "Live On" Even AFTER We're DEAD

An additional note to what was written previously:

We have control of how we get around to what it is God has in store for us. We can choose the easy way or the hard way to reaching the plans God already made (for us). Remember, we can never choose our beginning and end but we can at least choose HOW we get to the end. It is a cold, hard fact: we begin by living and we end by dying. We live to die. Face it. It's the truth. It's reality.

But though our final actions are our last breath, last movement, last beating of the heart, we can at least choose to linger on or die together with our body.

The challenges and trials we face in our life were part of the paths we choose. TRUE, God already knew what will happen to us if we chose a certain path but prior to these, we were laid out paths we could take. Paths we, ourselves, have to make decisions if we will take it or not. We were shown these paths as a map would show roads, bridges and streets. When you reach a certain destination, everything is there, everything is laid out... and all we have to do is "CHOOSE" .

Like a map, God gave us directions, God gave us paths to take and God laid out everything there to happen to us if we have "chosen" to take a certain path. Like a map, God guides and shows the way and in fact, gave us the blueprints of what will happen to our lives. He (note: I'm not sure if I believe God has a gender. But I'm going to use He as "he" is commonly used to refer to both gender - or at least I think so- and I lack writing skills as I can't think of another pronoun to use.) gave us both our brains and hearts to think and feel respectively. We have the FREE WILL because God, just like a map, ONLY SHOWS us the paths but does NOT really PUSH us to take any certain path.

So, knowing you can make choices and you that all your decisions are valuable, live your lives not only to die but to live on even after your dead. I hope you all understand. It isn't easy. Never was. Never is. But it is Possible.

May God bless you all!

***additonal note: I have no real intention of comparing God to a map but a "map" just seems to be the only "perfect" thing that came to mind to compare God to as of the moment. If I think of something else, I will write it down***

contemplating substantiality

Thought about life. I just thought about it... Also, of the propensity of what people do in order to survive. Some change for the good, some stay moral... and yet some others...

Can't people see the meaning of life?

Life is... life is naught but an exaggeration of the word "borrowed".

It isn't ours. Never was. Never will be. For if it was, being "selfish" would never be a sin. I wouldn't let the dirty hands of death claw over my existence. I'd keep on living, breathing and moving under the sun along with all existing creatures of God.

Yes, I believe in a God. I believe in God. I cannot NOT believe Him... for if it wasn't for Him... if it wasn't for His saving grace, His blessing soul, His wondrous presence and His ability to lend with never-ending trust, death would have been smilling smugly now. Death, whose fingernails scraped me and left physical wounds, would have been rejoicing now but... God held my body and soul as tight as He could without squishing and suffocating me, never letting go until Death turned its back and gave up. Life was almost returned to it's owner by the messenger, but the owner, kind and understanding, shook His head and gave back what He lent saying: "You can have it for a bit longer... just remember, I'll come back and get it. Though I want to give it to you, I can't and I can't tell you why for you won't be able to understand... not as long as you have it... but when you return it to me, all your questions shall be given answers." Everything was like a dream, the next day came and looking around, I knew it was. Despite that knowledge though, my faith deepened and grew stronger. I believe in God, the owner of my existence. Why? Because I got to open my eyes, I got to feel... I survived.

Life... Life may not be ours but we have FULL control of it. We can keep it in good condition or give it back ruined. We can choose to throw it together with all our other things, losing it on this big pile of mess, or place it on a simple shelf where it stays clean and dirt-free. We can return it anytime or keep it longer... it's all up to us. We have the power to do what we want with it. But...

There's just one thing we need to understand... what we borrowed is PRECIOUS! It is something we want and something we enjoy having. It cannot be replaced but when damaged, it can be repaired. It's ordinary but it's a necessity. Many people take it for granted but those who lose it, want it back. It's simple, it's free and it's personalized... but we have to accept one thing, that one day we have to return it. That's why... can't we at least... while we still have it, can't we make sure that we guard it... guard it with ALL... with all that we have?!



*Life is but a miracle... understand one fact, though it can be unfair... life is wonderful, beautiful, honest... and real!*
