(TODAY IS) NOT ONE OF THOSE DAYS

There are days when nothing's going right --- when everything I do is a mess, and no matter how hard I keep up, things will find its own way to be wrong. As if it's alive. At least for that day.

But today, it's not one of those days.

There are days when I'm self-absorbed. --- when I'm firm that no one else's needs will ever be more important than mine. Days when I think my dreams are bigger than anybody else's.

But today, it's not one of those days.

There are days when I want to give up --- when I realize my own targets were unrealistically set and despair eats me up. I spend the rest of that day in my lonely little corner where neither music nor sunlight can make me feel better.

But today, it's not one of those days.

Because I chose this day to not be any of those days.

I chose to believe that there's always a Sunday at the end of the week.

I chose to accept that I am one with the world and I am not an island.

I chose to go on, to cut hopelessness and appreciate the little things I have.

I chose to trust. To love. To laugh. To live.

And there's not a simpler (or better) indicator to go on living than the fact that I was blessed to have woken up to another morning of this life. 

Every single day. Until it all ends. #
