#StoriesFromTheCloud

It’s 3am and my mind feels like it’s time to let go 🌬

I went through a silent ❤️ battle.. I may not be sure if it was my best, but I fought hard.

I’ve been arguing with my feelings since the day I felt that something’s “more” towards this person. Well, he’s a typical guy everyone would like to hangout with. But a superb friend, rarest of his kind, who everyone would love to keep.

Fast forward, we somehow got stuck with each other for a little number of years. Whew, I also didn’t imagine it will last for some time because we were like from different planets, timeframes and peers. We were great companions and party magnets. Haha and we lived that long without a label. Neither his friends nor mine could determine the real score between us. Perhaps, neither could either of us (?) Heh.

So here’s the thing. He tried to pursue on several ladies during those times, and I was one of his peers who supported him. We go out randomly just to talk about anything under the sun, his happy days and struggles. We were both unplugging from stress. We were like free individuals living with less pressure. But little did we know, we became different persons after a span of days, weeks, and months.

We are very open to each other. Hmm. But there’s one topic that we never discussed — us. Every time I try to open it up, it’s just not the right time. He slips and disappears. I can also feel like we’re building gaps whenever I attempt to ask about us. We tend to have lesser communications. But why do things had to happen like this? 🙃

Well..that’s about it! The rest, as they say, is history. Guess what silent battle did I fight for?

It’s fighting for the remaining relationship I have with this person. I accepted defeat even if there’s no visible and direct enemy. And it’s way harder because I never tried to pursue on him. Perhaps, I wanted to keep our friendship and consider all things platonic.

I fought hard only to realize that we’re not going to be something beyond each other’s ideal romantic relationship.

Never Miss, Take A Risk

Through voices, inks and paper, many have tried to put into definite words what risk is and what it means to them. Slowly exploring its essence, I must say that it is an absolute eureka moment once discovered. Silly but true – you must not miss to take a great risk! But... how? And why?

Breathe in. Breathe Out. One should note in his jottings that life is inherently risky. We are the star players in our own life’s competition and to dodge from the wicked streak risk of doing nothing is the first goal. Just try to blend with this flow, if you fail fast, don’t let it last; make ways to adjust and you’ll learn how to surpass.

Recently, I have encountered the great winds of dilemma and challenge. It’s very odd yet I felt that it will give a big hint that will fill up my puzzle in life. It’s like a part of the picture formed in zigzag-cut puzzle pieces that may bring me to a life-long conclusion. And guess what? In the dimmest of nights and on the shimmering sun of days, my thoughts were never wrong. I’ve decided to risk the unusual. I’ve concluded to grow. I’ve chosen to love.

No matter how the mind spins and feelings diverge, risk and love are never far from each other. Love and achievement always involve great risks. Though I may not be able to combine and put all of these ideas into words everyone can understand, I may assure that I can let my actions do the speaking. It simply does. It simply goes.

“Most important thing is this: to be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become,” with the thought of American author W. E. B. Du Bois that struck me most, I can say that life is a beautiful mess slowly unyielding the hidden sparks and shadows of the soul. Truly, risk is an essential part of determining life’s worth. So why not pursue not to hit a miss or never miss a hit? Take your weapon and risk; seek how far you can go along with the strange tides of sorrow and bliss.

PS: Risk for what is right. Great decisions always contain great risks. It always takes a witty mind and courageous heart to make this kind of decisions. But yeah, keep calm! No pressure, take this risk: Smile. J

Wish that Byes were as easy as Hi's and vice versa
