I THOUGHT

I thought...i can live alone...not when i realized that there are my close friends to hang out with, lean on, laugh with, weep to, shares ideas with and have fun with..



I thought...i can fly so high...not when i finally knew i have not even gifted with the wings of the dove..



I thought..i can solve problem on my own..not when I realized that my friends are more than present to share a load of it and help solve my probs..



I thought..I can reach my dreams alone..not when I found out that its hard to step on if you knew you got someone to consult regarding decision making and changes I must take..



I thought..I can be a professional swimmer..not when I found out that the casting/try-outs during my college days has been withdrawn due to failure of my school to submit to the requirements it needed.. but then I am a good swimmer though..no doubt about it since I do it on a regular basis.



I thought..all of my friends would stay..not when i realized they got their own lives to fulfill, they got their own dreams to achieve, they got their own path to follow and they got their own reason to leave..huhuhuh...goodluck..for those who would stay a million thanks to you guys..



I thought..I can be a good son always..not when I realized that I am putting my life on risk taking bumpy roads and crooked paths as I struggle to live..



I thought.. life is simple..but not when I realized that it is full of ups and downs..that makes us endure during the journey we took..that reminds us to stay grounded and humble..



I thought..I can be an accomplished creative writer someday..not when I realized that time may be running out to fulfill this dream of mine..



I thought.. I can be an excellent documentary maker..not when i realized I haven't gotten enough time to explore the beauty of the world..and see and meet with different people and learn the culture of the world



I thought.. I can easily make myself a photojournalist..but not when I realized that time is so short to accomplished this daunting and time-demanding sort of luxury I am willing to explore
