Seize the Night!!!

It’s been a while since I last updated. Been suffering from another case of writer’s block lately. But it’s not that bad anyway. I just didn’t feel like anything important is worth telling.

Right now is a different thing though. It seems that ever since that I hoisted up my sails and left port, I felt more alive. I just feel so happy, especially with the people around me (as mentioned in earlier posts).

I just returned from a 2-day retreat in Tagaytay and I had the most wonderful time. I’m not really a religious person or anything, but the place was just so conducive for contemplation and inspiration. And best of all, I got to spend those days of learning with people that I really love.

Upon my return from Tagaytay, I’ve realized so many things. So many changes have happened to me ever since I got rid of my apprehension in taking risks and finally setting sail. I’m more mature in dealing with problems, learned to take responsibilty and realized my accountability in my own life. Taking the helm of my little sailboat helped me learn that "If everything we wanted out of life was given to us in a silver platter, what’s the point of living?"

Yes, I do experience a lot more storms in life’s treacherous seas than back at port. But it’s so much better than being stuck back at port, doing nothing but think about what-could-be’s. At least I know that by going on this journey, I am going to get somewhere; probably even find my own heaven.

I know I’m just rambling incessantly like a drunk-out sailor, but it is exactly how I feel. I’ve never felt so alive, so happy, and so strong. I feel like I can take on the world! And nobody is saying that I can’t.
