silver lining

June 10, 2010

The clouds yesterday looked as gloomy as I was.

At times, there are moments in our lives when we just let ourselves be succumbed by despair. When a cheer from a friend or words of consolation aren’t enough. When colorful lights, wedding cake toppers, and funny jokes are as dull as a dried leaf.  We cannot always put up a brave face, a courageous eyes, or a fake smile. Sometimes, everything is just too much to handle, and we almost reach a point of giving up. Almost. We must never do. (For some people, all battles need to be won.)

But it is alright to be sad, to allow ourselves to delve into darkness. Our minds would be filled with dark clouds and insensible thoughts, at times verging on the brink of madness.

So the clouds yesterday let out a heavy sigh and drops of rain. And as we stand to see the horizon, the silver lining looks more beautiful than ever. And I am still waiting for mine to appear.
