This is a letter I wrote years ago. I was scheming through the pages of my old rotten diary when this struck me so much. It has been quite some time now, you see. But I am still clinging to it. I live. I love. I am me.
"Species do not change overnight, or even in the course of one lifetime. Rather, evolutionary change usually occurs in tiny, almost imperceptible increments over the course of thousands of generations—periods that range from decades to millions of years.
To study the evolutionary relationships among organisms, scientists must perform complex detective work, deriving indirect clues from the fossil record, patterns of animal distribution, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and finally, direct observation in laboratories and the natural environment.
Like me, it might take a lifetime for me to totally change all the things I want changed. It may cost a lot for me to do as such but in the end, I know, eventually, it will be worth it.
Life is a constant world that has its never-ending changes - we have to face each circumstance with no BUTS, no WHAT IFS, no HOWS nor WHYS. We have to live life each day to the fullest and accept things as they come. Rushing things would just make all those confusions worse.
Our lives are entirely different . We came from different worlds. There may be things that I may not understand but that's sheer reality. We have nothing to do but live by it.
I am having all those wishful thinkings that fate would be good to me years from now. After all that had happened, I really don't know what and where and who to hang on to.
After all, my life doesn't have its sense of value to others anymore.
People would come and go then destroy your naiveness.
But i just cant blame them.
I wanted it all somehow."
My mom used to tell me that one has a miserable life because he chose to trudge on that path. It ends up to one's stubborness and one begins to hide and would prefer the things that are wrong.
It came to my realization that I too am a very miserable and frustrated person - because I chose to be one. Everybody has his own free will, you see. With whatever decisions you made, making or are about to make, listen from within, from the people around you.
It won't do you any harm. Just let your heart and ears be open to all the changes life and fate to has offer.

wow, nice piece... yeah ryt, we become what we want to become... we make our own destiny.
trials in life should lead to greater mission, not stagnation.
no matter what, value starts from within. our value should not be determined by other people but by ourselves. if we chose then to have it at low, maybe it's because of sadness, or longing. but it's always good to hope that a time will come that your esteem will be back, and you will be a happy man.
free will is a tricky thing. i agree, mico, we must learn to listen from within us.
we are defined by the choices we make.
nice piece huh. galing!
"After all, my life doesn't have its sense of value to others anymore."
You must have felt very helpless when you wrote this piece.
"I am having all those wishful thinkings that fate would be good to me years from now. After all that had happened, I really don't know what and where and who to hang on to."
With your courage and optimism to move forward, I guess they haven't remained as wishful thinking anymore. I am deeply hoping kapatid that life now is treating you well or much better. :)
reminds me of dr. suresh ng heroes tv series.
tama ka. dapat makinig ka rin sa mga opinyon ng iba at i-compare mo sa iyong sariling desisyon.
we are rational beings. of course, our choices are also influenced by forces around us. ;)
I had an uncontrollable fit of epistaxis reading this piece! Hehehe.
Reading it loudly, I sounded like a narrator in the opening scene of that Ewan McGregor starrer "Fish".
You have a penchant for writing good emotional pieces, Mico. Keep it up.
@roland: true! trials should lead to greater mission. or something more than that. pero we have to listen to others too.
@prinsesamusang: i just feel there's something missing. something my soul really yearns for. i dunno. i am still hopeful though. i am. though i dont know until when.
