road less traveled

Two of my bestest friends are in a love dilemma right now. And both of them, in different occasion, asked me how I manage to face my own demons and walk out of it with a successful big grin.

Come to think of it, I never really knew how I did it. It just sorta came to its own mind and suddenly all the pieces of my broken life was put in its proper perspective. As they say, destiny suddenly made my life turned up the notch.

I lived a crazy life back then, looking back, I never regret any single one of it, for it made me to where I am now. I had depressed stages and ice queen season where in all I have in my heart was pure bitterness, revenge and grudges. Until one day, it hit me like a big meteor shower, that my life was a big freaking mess. I had to choose whether to follow the path down and burn in hell or walk my path up and be in blissful serenity.

“Masarap ang maging single no! Puro ka lang date tska walang commitment.”

It wasn’t easy to choose. I loved the single arena. You have your independence. Date who ever you want and splurge into temporary happiness and pleasure. The excitement of complex set ups always was a big adrenaline rush. But in the end, it was a tiring saga of failed hopeless relationships. I was in my mid 20’s but with a mind and heart of a toddler, always wanting to get everything at hand and doesn’t know the word “NO”.

Girl, are you kidding me, magkaka jowa ka na seryoso?! Oh it’ll be boring, you’re missing out a lot and giving up your single-blessedness!”

It came to a point, where I had a big knockout from up above, I was in a situation wherein I had to choose between the life I was currently loving and living back then and a life unsure of it certainty and might be boring due to its simplicity. Only then to realize that the kind of life whom I thought would be another fruitless encounter would be the right one for me. It is without a doubt, the best life I have right now.

I took the courage to face all my demons and battled my fights fairly. I was in a crossroad and took the risk to the less road traveled. I lived my life with experiences worthwhile because in the end God gave me this life I have right now --- and I could not ask for more!!!

Hubby: “Uy, pare. MIsis ko!” (wow, nde lng sarap pakinggan sarap pa ng feeling)
Friend ni hubby: “Naks, pare, finally… congrats sa inyo ha… buti pa kyo!”
Hubby: “Kaya nga eh sobrang saya.Salamat!” (sabay kiss sa akin at squeezed my hand tightly)
Wifey: sighs with unending gratitude

So, would you choose the road less traveled?! Just a thought, perhaps…

Laters…
