walking on

there are certainly times when carrying on with life is tough.

when things are weighed on you and your steps seemingly falter at every turn. no longer daring to make a choice about anything. when things you do seems all wrong and nothing is going your way. times when everything you want is so far away and things that hurt you are always on your mind even when they are not around.

when pain is your familiar companion.

friends are occupied with themselves and leave no time to stand by you. when family are not around, away on their chores and 'need-to's'. you are all alone in the crowd when you want to break down. you are with people you don't want to be with. the few that you trust are away somewhere.

misery likes company.

life have a way of putting the harshest lesson to you when you are lowest.

for me, i tell myself one things, 'ken, walk on. you will survive. you always do.'

and i always did.

failure and pain are great teachers if we know how to 'listen' to them. to be able to retrospectively analyse what happened and then improve upon yourself have got to be our greatest gift. we are not perfect. not even close. we need to do, fail and learn, to get better.

Failure is not the worst thing in the world, the very worst is not to try.

and so, my friends.

my dear friends. be strong. walk on.

for dreams of better tomorrows.
