Into The Zenith: Dive In Anyway Part 2: Dance

there are the good days, and then there are the bad days. what came with perhaps a slight overdose of caffeine was a high sense of alertness and a complete clarity of mind, but it struck me when i least expected it to, and my whole world started crumbling, albeit gradually, over the span of a few days. it's as if the weather report in my head sensed a storm coming, and there's no way to evade. there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. every corner in my little head i keep bumping into 'it'.

but life goes on no matter how hard the storm strikes out; there are still people out there dying of hunger, people dying for the country in Afghanistan, facebook threads keep rolling, i go to work and come home just like any other day etc. nothing really changes, and the earth keeps spinning. but a friend gave sound advice the other day: you can't change how things turn out, but you can change the way you react to them. i could brood all week long, shut myself out from the world, feel sorry for myself and omit myself from real physical human contacts. sure i could. but that's not gonna help at all. then i came across this blog post from one of the first followers i mentioned in the previous post, and there i saw 2 videos that seemed to speak to me out-rightly. one brings home a simple yet profound message, that when you get a chance to sit it out or dance, i hope you dance.

and so i will. some things are better left unsaid; raw emotions may come out as seeking for pity, and misunderstandings are aplenty around us (and sometimes one too many that i can or want to handle). but whatever it is, i will remember that message, and i will dance:

and of course, things may not be as bad as it seems. other people may have it worse that i do. but there's always the bright side to look at, and even if it's quite bad, this too shall pass. i won't let it weigh me down. if you're feeling as blue as i was, i hope it doesn't get you down.
