BE STRONG (Draft 2)

After a long while, I’m here sitting down and writing about me, writing about life, writing about what it is about and what would it be.

There are many things that happen in life, many events, many episodes in life that make you weak, tired, unhappy, sad, you feel like you don’t want the world to see you, because you’re saying I don’t think they will understand.

There are some days in life, when you feel like the light will never come back to you, when all you see is darkness and you’re about to quit from everything.

There are some times when all you want is going back to a “normal life”, just having peace, just living for the day, just pretending to be happy.

Once you feel like you are there, just being around, just pretending that a “normal life” will be good enough, just pretending that your thoughts, your reasons, your arguments will be enough; is when you realize that nothing has changed, and nothing will change by trying to live a “normal life”

Because a “normal life” is doesn’t have any difference from just not living at all. Because “normal life” is just a fairy tale; and is not even that, because fairy tales have happy endings. Because a “normal life” is doesn't make sense in itself and I won’t make sense and finally because a “normal life” doesn’t exist.

And then, one day, one hour, one minute, one second, one instant in life can change the perspective and the way of living, the way of thinking, the way of being!
And then, one person, or two or three or more can show you that there’s always something else, that all that you have built in your mind isn’t even a wall of a building, that all the general picture you have in mind isn’t even a small part of a bigger picture, that the way you were thinking isn’t even a small thought comparing to what is over this world.

Then the question comes: How?

God, yes God is what can give what this world can’t. All the things that come from heaven are like Him: REAL. One of those things, a powerful one is: Friends, real friends.

They are here with a purpose in life, they are here with a reason to be, and they are here with a word to say, with a hug to give, with a smile to share, with an answer to give, with a moment to live with you.

Because believe it or not, there’s always an answer, you can all the way in life just to find that, “yes, there will be always an answer”. Indeed, even when you don’t have the answer, there is one. The reason you don’t have it, doesn't mean there’s not one!

And then another question comes: What about sad moments?

Life will knock us down, but we can choose whether or not to stand back up. You have to believe it, think of it, feel it and know that is true. You have to prove that you will fight till end and that you won’t surrender until your last breath.

There are many “struggles in life that God put us trough is what makes us stronger as a person and have a stronger faith”. Powerful faith, that no one in this world, is capable to take away from you. God with you is the perfect combination to achieve everything, to win all the battles, to succeed in life and to tell the world that there’s something better with Jesus.

And don’t worry because “you’ll get there”. These words make me believe that there’s something better, there’s always something better. That every day is a challenge and a blessing at the same time, because you have the opportunity to keep learning, to keep growing and to realize the REAL meaning of REAL things and REAL people.

So what about me?

Well, that’s what I have learned, that’s what I think now, that’s what happened to me, that’s what is happening to me, and I can’t say everything is perfect, I can’t say that I’m living a beautiful life, I can’t say that all things are going in an correctly way to go; BUT, what I can say is that I’m not living a “normal life” anymore. And I know, believe, feel, think and have faith that I have happiness, not any kind of happiness but REAL happiness.
