Eyes on the upcoming.

 Hola and Hello.

My dearest readers,

Here I am---back in my glory---trying to type something for you that might actually be worth your while. When I write this with that sentence, I'm obviously anticipating your thoughts, feelings and engagement to this blog post. Exactly---that is exactly what I meant with "Eyes on the upcoming"

I would like to share one of my personal philosophies with you;

"The past and the future makes the present"

Yet we're so lost in the moment as we think of what our future holds with what our past holds. 

That is such a senseless sentence the first few times you read it. I fancy that most of mine are indeed like that.

Our past weighs us down no matter how hard we try to make ourselves believe that the past is exactly where it belongs or yesterday is just in yesterday but frankly---what has happened has happened and it will keep happening---only we get change the way it happens.

I'd like to think of it like the ocean. The past is the water and we will obviously drown if we don't keep swimming in this endless ocean. So where does the future come in? Funny thing---I don't know. But as I keep swimming, I realize that the water keeps increasing and it gets harder to swim for a while. As a marvel fan I have got to quote RDJ's Iron man; "If your life just got harder, that means you just leveled up"

Things change or grows or adapts eventually.

I was looking at few of the scholarship/competitive exams that I could possibly pursue after my high school and I started feeling how it was a bit unfair and weighing down besides the opportunistic and competitive energy it creates. That is when I thought of writing this. While I should be looking at the facts, I should not forget the truth.

Sometimes we keep our eyes on the upcoming while our present slips away and our past remains like an untreated wound. I know it's hard to keep your priorities straight, remain focused and find yourself in between all of it. But you're not in between of any of it. You're at home---wherever that place is for you. For me, my home seems to be in myself. I feel at home whenever I let myself hope.

Let yourself respect yourself a lot, trust a little bit more and hope good. 

"Love is a holy trinity of respect, trust and hope" (Words from my debut novel)

And you'll find home in love. 

You have to remain responsible to no one but you. 

You can throw your eyes away to the future or maybe you've already planted them somewhere in the past BUT dearest reader, it's time to hold onto your eyes and let them look at the upcoming, feel what has already come and exist where they should.

Thank you for bearing this with me.

With all my love,
