One of the things that

One of the things that

COULD make life miserable is having expectations. Expectations just keep pushing you high up into the air, further away off the ground, floating in a bubble, that you start to lose touch with the reality. They set your guard down that you become neglectful of minding your step. You need to remember that bubbles pop and feet stumble. As much as this sounds so pessimistic, try not to expect so much in people. Because when you hit rock bottom, it hurts so bad.

One of the things that

COULD make life miserable is having a clear view of the past. Walking down through the memory lane is not always a pretty picture. You are tied down to images of regrets and disillusionment that you are forever stuck in your own maze. You just cannot move forward although you try so hard to leave behind the traces of your own doings. The least you could do is put on a smiling facade, concealing the frown inside you because some memories just don’t go away. Some just stay, trailing along your steps, all the time.

One of the things that

COULD make life miserable is the inability to forgive yourself. Being haunted by all the ‘what-if’ questions. Looking in the mirror and seeing a sad reflection looking back at you, in tears, asking you why countless times. Walking around with a heavy baggage on your back that no one could lift it off you. Seeing and hearing anything that reminds you of what you wish you did not do. Knowing the path on which you should tread but you are held back by your own guilt. Seeing some light ahead trying to cast its glow on you but you turn your back on it and remain in the dark. With all the smiles and laughs permeating your life, at the end of the day, you just cannot stop yourself from crying. 

I know this post sounds so gloomy and depressing. But we do have some dark moments lurking inside us and at times they seem so impossible to ignore.

With all the miseries mounting on our shoulder, please remember that we have Him by our side. 

And that is what matters the most.
