The Bright Side
“Semoga apa-apa yang menjadi kelemahan dan kesulitan, di sisi lain bisa dijadikan kekuatan untuk selalu bertahan. Insya Allah”
It’s not an easy thing to be able to look at the bright side of something that becomes a distraction inside your mind. Sometimes (or most of the time?) someone else is needed to lighten up those other side. To make you realize that behind any difficulties, there is always something you could always learn from.
Thank you for the words. Feeling much much better right now.
Though, I am sure that it would never be easy, and I am sure that it would somehow comes up again in the later time, I am also sure that realizing that this is something worthy to be fighted for, would make it all easier. …
After the storm
Firmly believe now that the strength of a ship will be proven after a storm hits. It may sink, or it may keep intact and even becoming stronger afterward.
The proof that we have the second kind of ship is what I am really grateful of. Holes and damages might appear over here and there, but I believe, together, we can fix them, and even use them as lessons and guidance for stepping forward to the future. Together.
— the keys are communication, honesty and trust –
it is going to be tough …
The fact is that it HAPPENED … and whatever one’s do, it can not be erased or changed.
The fact is that it HURTS … and the hardest part is the possibility that it might dramatically change my point of view, for good (though I am fully aware that this would not be what my conscience wants)
The only things that could be done are:
…ACCEPTING that it happened.
…UNDERSTANDING and FORGIVING (* but no, forgetting, as if in “running away” is not the best option here *) so that the pain would — hopefully — eventually fade away.
…TAKING LESSONS so that the same mistakes can be avoided in the future.
Still, it is going to be TOUGH. VERY TOUGH. Even tougher, considering this is not — in any circumstances — something to be shared with others.
But may the final outcome be the best for all of us.
* searching for helps and guidance from the Almighty, and from the one who I fully put my trust into *
— In the midst of the dusk. For the first time in years that I failed to shut out my mind.
— Thank you for letting me know. As painful as that is, I still believe that honesty and trust is what should be put over anything else.
