THE FRUIT

THE FRUIT

To be honest, these fingers had been longing for so long to kiss these words on the keyboard. I had quite a long time thinking about writing again. It felt so good to be here and do the same thing all over again. In this life, excluding me, there are so many others who had been into so many problems and encountered various kinds of obstacles in their journey to reach their goal.

In this one, I will be peeling off the skins of a fruit called Life. It will be peeled piece by piece and stay if you wish to taste the mix taste of the fruit. To be precise, life had thought us so many things up until now and is still teaching. Do not lie to me that you had never been sad, feel sorrow, gloomy or even agonized by the things you see, fear, hear, touched and understood. After all, apple itself has many tastes, depending on its type so do as people themselves. All of us have different way of living and our way might be slightly different or even a bigger margin from others. We will never know until we share with one another.  For example, mine will never be the same as yours, I will encounter few things that some of you will never understand and keep judging why I decided to do so. I will keep practicing the things that I believe and put faith with but it will not be the same to all of you. Might be equal to some, but not all. It is the same as peeling this fruit, some of you might peel it using a faster way, some will slowly digest what it takes and how to peel it nicely and quietly.

Believe me folks, you have your own way of living. Let me ask you people, have you ever been in the situation where you are stranded and alone, left nothing with you except for money, sitting in a car, under the beauty of the blanket of stars and a moon, tired, lost and almost gave up. Have you? I bet some had and some might have been into a more unprescribed moments than what I told you earlier. What will you do at the moment? Have any idea. Your internet was lost and your phone had problem with breathing. It will not light up as it used to be and puts your head in haywire. Everyone has their own way to put it sort it out. Life has its own sweetness also as in every difficulty, there is always an opportunity. You might see what you do not even want to understand before this, answered right before your eyes. You will see why the moon shines at night and the stars accompany it to make you see the sky brighter than ever.

Throughout this life, I met one person in life where the light and the dark merge together in a dark room and I was under that light, seeking the truth, of what is it I wanted in life, I was quite lost at some moment and he narrated a storyline. Each time I saw him, I knew, he has something valuable to share and important life reminders that I can take note of. I remembered he said about this one thing about his life. A person told him that he likes to leave his wallet unsupervised. When he stood up and spoke, he said, “I really want my wallet to be fat and show to everyone that I can be rich.” It sounds really bragging and unworthy to be spoken about is it not? Well everyone, the gist is about a motivation. He said such things is to be encouraging these future thinkers, people, politicians, engineers, business people, accountants and etc. to be excited to reach their life goal. Do you see the resemblance? And he, the person I wrote about succeed did he not? People saw how thick his wallet was and he accomplished one of his life missions. You can change yours too. You just need a bowl of trust and a universe of faith to yourself that you can do it better than anyone else.

By coming this far, I believe you had tasted many parts of the fruit is it not? Were they all sweet? No. bitter all the way? No. Absolutely not. You can still put on a mask of fake faces, smiles but your eyes will never lie. I tell you what, by looking into someone’s eyes, you can even feel the sadness within yours. You can even fall for the sadness you dug into. You can even see why that person’s tip of their lips, right and left, fall to the ground. Understanding people makes you a great person and you know you are worthy of something. Ever wondered why someone fell hard yesterday and today is your part? Had you? If yes than you can even know how it feels to be in their shoes, walking, rushing and stepping with it. If you have not, then you must try now. This life in indeed once but make it worthy and make yourself worthy of something.

Now, you had peeled off every edge of the fruit but guess what, that is what my fruit tasted like. How my life is. You can define yours. Yours will be something much more colorful than mine, tasted better than mine. Might be, it came from a greater place than what you had tasted before. It could be bred in a more conducive environment and lived a past life better, much better than mine. Its process of growing might be one of the smoothest. The ingredients or the fertilizers used might be better on even the origin itself which is the tree. I will never know and perhaps never had any slight idea how it was.

Its your time to redefine life. Regret none of the things you did before. It will come and go to your head but you can control it. You are in charge. Blend yourself with faith and believe that you can do better and that my dear readers, you can.
