A note from the past

Last night I was flipping through an old journal of mine and I stumbled upon something I wrote back then that I had completely forgotten about. I'm not very sure if I still believe what I believed then with such certainty. But I just wanted to post it here as a keepsake.

Everything's well

Life has its way of telling you

Everything's well..

Umpteen battles you fight within yourself

Make you grow weary and tired

And just when you feel nothing is in it for you

Life gradually dawns a light you thought had been wiped out

By the suffocating darkness and gloom where you'd lost yourself

That's when you realize you've walked a step ahead

To discover what God intended you to become

Guess that's His way of molding you

Into that complete being you aspire to be

Roots that are bitter still give sweet fruit

Amidst the numerous outbursts and complaints

The multiplying complaints about life

He patiently listens to you never short of time

You expect a response... wait long and hard

And just when you decide you aren't being heard after all

Just when you feel nothing is in it for you

You sense a subtle force that seems to be reminding you

That the response you so desperately seek is in fact within you:

Experience and grow... life's an adventure!

And everything's well if you want it to be

And self pity is not the answer!

Everything's well 'cause I want it to be

Hardships and misery don't end my world

They come and they go... and there's so much life beyond

Everything's well eventually..
