One fine day, the flowers are blooming
the bees are hurriedly coming
the trees are sweetly swaying
with the birds joyfully chirping
You just can’t keep them apart
if you do, it will be like a broken art
Everything was in place, all at peace
but this thing came, making ’em all race
Winds are blowing fast
thunderous roars heard from above
And with the blink of an eye,
chaos came, creeping behind
The next sunshine came,
the flowers , the trees
were no longer the same
the things they hold dearly were no longer seen
–same with my feelings, to the one that got away
-Juliet C. Araneta
Author’s note:

Most of the time when we share our achievements and disappointments to our parents, my father would always tell us to “Charge to experience”. What he meant by that is to always charge those experiences to our lives. It molds us to become someone who we really want. But the thing about life? its unpredictable. We thought that everything is in the right place already. Then suddenly, there are happenings that made us question ourselves and shocked us to the point of breaking down. If we let that happen, we lose.
This is a friendly reminder, that we may break, fall or tripped but we should always do our best to stand up and get back on track. To be able to do that, let go of all those lingering feelings first so that you can continue living the life you desire. Every experience is a lesson charged to our lives.
