Life is not as simple as pronouncing it nor a thought from a kid after receiving a lollipop or a penny. Life has its ups and downs, hellos and goodbyes, thickness and thinness, brightness and darkness, tears and laughters. But then, the way we approach life is the way we get it. As said by many: "Life is what we make it."

I have come to realize that not all things will happen in the way we planned it. But still, we need to live, not only for ourselves, but indeed for everyone. Pains, problems, trials in life are normal. Maybe we could see these as curses or burdens, but in the end, we could even thank these challenges for coming into our lives because the courage and the strength we have right now, we do owe all of these to the challenges we had. Sometimes we cannot understand why all of these are happening after realizing the fact that all we want to achieve is the fullness of life. But, would we really be happy if the fullness of life we achieved was just like a snap from our fingers? I believe, no. For the real sweet taste of victory is felt after seeing yourself happy as your sweat is drying.

Instead of thinking about the toughness of life as we go through a storm, why not enjoy the idea that this was given by the Lord because He believes that we are strong enough to surpass this storm and this can also be a way to mold us to become better individuals? We need not to be sorry nor be cynical about the idea of life because we can never nor nobody can tell what life has to offer for each and everyone of us, but of course, except the Lord.

When we are hanging with lost hopes and you see yourself in the abyss of emptiness, just look around. You can see a million of reasons to smile and still manage to love life. Fight challenges in life for victory awaits. Even in your coldest nights there would still be a bright and sunshiny day ahead. Love. Fight. Live. As my favorite line in the song says, "...there's a rainbow always after the rain."

***and to be exact, this was written to reflect about a song titled Rainbow by the Southborder. I don't know why our professor loved that song. Haha. anyway, i enjoyed this. It seems i'm talking a lot but didn't understand what was what. haha. spooky mind!
