Humility.

I was just thinking about last night. It's really irony how one thing matters that changes your whole point of view. How could something from a happy conversation lead to such a 180 degree flipover? I wasn't feeling really good because I know that sometimes we all might have blindspots that actually got the better of us.

It really hurts to feel hurt, and it's even more hurtful to feel someone that actually meant a lot to me being hurt. I was holding back tears, with some cracky voices during a conversation. I know that we all need a venting outlet to pour out all our feelings to, but I also know that we have to be sensitive in which spaces we pen our thoughts down. In my life, I didn't once force, manipulate anyone into thinking the same values that I hold. Because I believe that possessiveness does not equates to happiness.

I didn't know that perhaps sometimes some snacks don't taste as tasty as others, I didn't know that there were some things we do don't seem as salient as it seems.. But what I know is, the time invested, the effort I've made are all within my capabilities, and they are genuine and sincere.

The situations I've experience , the stories I've listened, and the observations I've seen. I can see the people around me trying so hard to find the chemistry of their life but to no avail, they just keep failing. Hence, I should feel fortunate, I should cherish what I have and I know I should express myself better in many other ways.

We might fail at times, feel heart broken at the same time. But in order to be a better person in the future, we all need to have the humility in us.

To accept, to learn, and most importantly, to forgive.

Philippians 2:5-8 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
