have faith. restart. just hold on.
I was gonna have the title of this post as
"some people say that football is life and death, I assure them that it is much more than that"
A quote from Bill shankly(although I do think I've gotten a couple of parts here and there wrong, but the essence is there I guess).
In any case, I thought the current title would probably suit the entire post better so here we go.
In life, I believe everyone's endured times when you begin to question the decisions that you make, especially on an impulse.
Then there are also the times when people question you for making the choices you made.
like going for that guy/girl, that you know is... not your type and stuff.
like going into a jc, screwing up your results, then wondering if you should have made the smart decision and fucked off to a poly earlier instead.
like getting chided by your friends for like trying to go for this guy/girl who's of a different religion to you and questioning if you've fully thought through the consequences, or even just teling you it would never work out cause of these differences.
like watching a club you support go through this reallyterribly hard to believe period where they get raped (yes raped, up down left right centre) on the pitch by their arch rivals, and lose their subsequent matches. The only thing that tops that feeling, is the triumphant messages you get from supporters of the opposite team. Ido solemnly believe that's how my phone ended up with a dent somewhere.
like going into army, and getting confined for 2 weeks, and not being able to come out and see your girl. (i've been told its very painful)
like going to school so often its almost like you retained, and makes you feel.. 'extra' or for lack of a better phrase 'act can jia'
like hearing people ask you.. "you mean the 2 of them are really together!?"
like crying for that guy who really doesn't deserve your tears (the person who makes you cry doesnt deserve your tears, and the person who does won't make you cry)
like... listing down too many examples such that you know that you're going off-course terribly, and your post would lose its meaning.
ok gimme a sec while i check everything again to see if there's anything feckless (new word learnt today from dictionary.com!) inside
ok, I confess, I couldnt be bothered to check lol.
at least the first 2 "like..." should be right (i hope). What I'm saying is that in life, people are going to question you all the time. and you're going to question yourself all the time too.
I have. (yes one of those sentences was a personal experience)
Sometimes we all need to take a stepback and think with a clear head, what the hell is going on around us. My recommendation is after some alcoholic drinks. Serious-fucking-ly
After the "high-ness" kicks in, after you stop thinking about doing all the stupid things, just before you fall off to asleep. You get this moment of... clarity. Where everything just appears to be so simple and straightforward.
and what I realised (after a couple of tries), was that the answer was simple. That you were probably right anyway, that everything that happened happened, and couldnt have happened any other way. And that going back, you'd probably have made the same decision anyway.
which is why you'd probably be better off sticking to your guns, have(ing) faith (in yourself). Maybe restart yur engines, step out of whatever hole you've fallen into...
and hold on for your dear life,
cause the journey's only just began.
That's life's biggest lesson, how to stand up, after we fall, and walk on better than before.
"why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up"
P.S: ok i confess, I lost track of what this post was supposed to be about. So if you don't get anything, its alright cause I don't either. wthawk.
