There is No Take Two in Life

Twentytwelve has been a roller coaster ride and I secretly pray for a calmer sea ahead. It was a thought and a decision made. Then I went on my 27 days Europe trip. I didn't get any inspiration nor become any wiser after the whole journey. But the people that I met widen my horizon telling me there is more out there in the world than what we are often bound to do - to take the traditional and safe route in life. Somehow, for no reason, I have also learned to go with the flow and be less stubborn with what I have always yearned for. The saying also goes by when one door closes, another always opens. I didn't end up to be extremely happy nor extravagantly satisfied with life. It would be an exaggeration if I said I did. But I did become less worrisome about what my future holds.

I came back safe and sound.
I didn't drop a tear.
I wasn't put in any danger.

It was a very smooth journey indeed.

I just need to keep on believing that the person up there is always watching me. The 'downs' are meant to let me grow, to become stronger and tougher, to tell me to try something new once in a while and break the limit. The rainbow only appears after the rain. I am thankful to have those around me and for being who I am today.

Laugh at your own mistakes and remember them wholeheartedly to not repeat.
