Perhaps many of you did ask that, the first time you thought about becoming a parent. It was a long time ago, a full school year since I wrote a piece about "Understanding Your Parents." It was a full school year full of new experiences, new found joy, new realizations and new trials and triumphs. For the first time in my life I was able to finally stand at the forefront and support my kids. It was a self victory for me and a fulfillment of a dream I long sought for.
"I struggled for nine years but all the while I give a smile to inspire others."
Nine years ago, I am separated from my 3 kids. I had to endure the loneliness and sorrow of being away from the very people that I love the most. For nine years, I dream of being with them once again. For nine long years I dream of that one day where we will all be together once again.
When you are ready to feel hate... when you are ready to be sad ... then all of a sudden that person will do something and it will just replace everything with the feeling that was before. Life is really good to me. Thank God for all the good things and the learning I have. I share this song which I received today...
One Friday morning I was supposed to meet a friend and have a good time but eventually that friend decided not to go because there are more important things than me. I felt so bored that day and so alone. When I woke up I took some photos and reflect about the things in my life, the decisions I make and the priorities I have set. Eventually the photos I took reflects what I felt and who I am.
People have the courage to say many things when they are drunk and their other side surfaces out. Some uses this to reveal someone and use it against him. For me whenever that happens, I do not care because I am what I am... take it or leave it.
Things go wrong. Some people don't meet our expectations. We become frustrated at the person we love. We become insecure of the one we love for we think that we are not right for her. We became angry. We become hateful. In the end we are consumed by our own self and we damaged ourselves.
What would you do for your children and the people you love? How far will you go? These past two weeks I began to deeply understand the meaning of self sacrifice. Day to day I have to ask myself how will I love tomorrow or the next day? How will my kids be okay? Before, I used to let other people do that for me and never really had the courage to face these problems because I believe that I did not cause it in the first place.
Thirteen years ago I became a father to a young baby boy. It was a day full of joy and anticipation and also full of fear because I never really know how to be a father. Three years after that I became a father to a total of three brilliant and beautiful children, only to be separated to them two years after. It was the saddest moment of my life and also the moment where I almost lose hope.
The power to change and choose your destiny is always a choice that you will take alone. No matter what others say in the end you will be the one responsible for it. Since October 2011, lots of things had changed in my life. I have realized lots of things and then as the song "Defying Gravity" begins its song... "Something has changed within me... something is not the same."
