MEMOIR: And sometimes, life is crazy..

“Because sometimes things happen to people and they’re not equipped to deal with them.”

Life is a roller coaster ride. It has its ups and down, its twists and turns.

Life is a journey. You may go through a bulky road or a smooth runway.

And sometimes, LIFE IS CRAZY.

Allow me to share this to you. I have a very good friend of mine who, at the age of six, had an accident. She was on her first grade when she was unable to walk for a week after falling off a vehicle. It was then when her life started to get less happy for this accident left her with a scar which whoever doctor knows might remain forever and make her remember what happened to her at her young age. The scar which made her wore long pants when going outside the house just to be free from kids who would bully her if they see the big scar they might think of as a serious illness. This was the scar who made her ill-confident with herself and everything she does.

After a long time, this same person went through another test. Her father happened to have an affair with a married woman. He started drinking and going home late. He started ditching his job. He started neglecting his family. He started to forget. He started to change. And he started to hurt his children and wife.

After some time, my friend’s mother finally decided to abscond to somewhere far. Somewhere far from the husband he once knew. And for some reason, my friend was left behind. She was forced to live alone (with her mother’s siblings) for a year. She was unhappy and upset and has no one to talk to but her few friends, who, after some time, for again, some stupid reason, abandoned her. That was the time she learned to depend to no one but on herself. She learned how to be independent (but still lives with the family though). It was then when she learned to fight for herself and to talk to God when no one was there to hear her cries and sobs in her room.

And now, after all the crazy things my friend gone through, she’s still here living her life which she thought will never be happy again. She had learned a lot of life lessons from the hardships she was able to overcome. She had learned a lot from life itself.

The scar I was telling you about is now one of the things that makes her more determined to make a change in her life. That scar, according to her mom, should become one of the sources of her inspiration to succeed in life. Her family should be her number one drive to choose the right man for her and not have to experience what has been experienced by her family before. My friend is a strong person.

Reflecting to this, I can still call myself blessed. I am even more than blessed that I didn't have to go through the same things. I also realized that what I usually cry over is nothing compared to other people’s battle.

It is true that..
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
and that
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER.

It may screw you up mentally and create a damage of you but it still makes you stronger at later part. Life also is not unfair. We may not like the things that go on around us and think we are being played. But have you forgotten that God will not give us something we cannot carry? If He gives us a problem that is something BIG that it consumes us, let us not forget that He just wants us to come to Him and ask for help.

Life’s trials and hardships are what make us tough and if you're able to overcome these, nothing will scare you anymore.
