Letter from a friend: Prisoner of Own Captivity

A friend of mine sharing a letter which has never been sent out. 

How do you mend a broken heart? How do you tell your heart to stop beating for someone you're not suppose to love? How could you tell if it's really love or it's just a mere admiration or attraction maybe. 

Been thinking crazy for the past few weeks. Trying to do soul searching but still questions are unanswered. Will confrontation work? Should I tell what I feel to make this feeling go away? But what if I'm wrong? What if there's really nothing?

This is insane. It's been haunting me. I listen to radio, I hear THAT song. I watch movies, I hear THAT song or thy name. Am I too desperate to know the answers? Are you thinking of me? What's the point of knowing the answers? Will it make any difference? It won't change a damn thing. What it is… I really don't know. When will I find out? That am not even sure.

Sigh.

Or maybe I'm just thinking too much. Maybe because I seek for answers, it made me think I feel something special. Maybe I just over analyzed things. I should think that this is not worth it. I shouldn't waste my time thinking and seeking for answers. I guess, I'm a prisoner of my own captivity… There's no point of thinking… no point at all. Maybe then, this will soon fade away.

Reminisce

Dark, quiet night.

Suddenly it all echoed

Sweet sound of laughter

How amazing it made me smile...

Something to hold on to

Call it faith! 

Trust maybe...

That maybe someday

Destiny will lead me back to where it all started

New place, yet a common ground!

Out of comfy

On my way to town yesterday, there were so many things running through my head. I asked myself, did I make the right decision of leaving the company. Technically, I'm not yet resigned. It will be effective 2 weeks from now. But I was really wondering where will this lead me? Few decisions I made in the past practically made me regret at some point. Decisions that were decided due to the spur of the moment reaction. This time it's different. I'm physically, emotionally and morally affected. See, I was given a task to manage a startup account. It's really a long story. To cut to the chase, I did, and it went well except for the past month when we had a major setback.

Leaving the company wasn't an easy decision. I love what I do, I love the people I work with, I simply love my team. I recruited them, trained them, gave them confidence so they can be the best of what they can be. Maybe I got tired of all the stress and pressure. Managing an account with 3 LOBs isn't an easy job. I wasn't just a manager. They weren't just my team - They're family. At times, I was rough to my so-called kids. I usually get hot tempered. I was too disappointed... I felt... empty.

I believe things happened for a reason. This decision I made of leaving my comfort zone, my fortress wasn't easy but it's worth it...

Expectations, expectations, expectations!

If things go wrong. How do you take it? Will you accept things as it is or try to get away with it?

There are things better left unspoken. It may never be perfect as it seem yet we just need to look how can we use it on our own advantage. I can't be direct to the point on this blog post. I'm trying to protect the people involve... I'm trying to protect myself from any danger this may cause me.

Nothing more hurtful than a smooth attack of deceit. So, how would you take it? Will you retaliate back or look at the brighter side of it.

I've always been pessimistic about things. What i realized is that the reason i usually got affected is because i expect so much from people. I value the people i work with, i treat them as friends. And if something uninviting comes, i usually react and got hurt. You may ask, what the hell am i trying to point out?! Just read between the lines. If you're smart enough to delve down, you may find the reason behind...

"Beware Of Slowing Down"

This poem's about a lesson,

while training for your crown.

To always steady grow,

to beware of slowing down.

Learn something every day,

while on the battle-ground.

Get stronger every trial,

must beware of slowing down.

Must press ahead each day,

don't turn or look around.

Don't rest or think to quit,

just beware of slowing down.

For if you start to slow,

it'll make you fret and frown.

Watch greatness pass you by,

so beware of slowing down.

I learned my Holy lesson,

it's subtle yet profound.

A lesson of moving ahead,

it's beware of slowing down.

For when I rule in heaven,

I'll wear my golden crown.

Swiftly Bless my citizens,

I'll beware of slowing down.

I'll briskly fill their joy,

keep them safe and sound.

Serve with steady pace,

but beware of slowing down.

I'll serve them speedy fast,

so quick it will astound.

I'll lead them through eternity,

will beware of slowing down.

I'll think about my citizens,

my love for them abound.

I'll love with Holy zeal,

I'll beware of slowing down.

A love that's so compelling, to do the things He do.
A love that's deeply moving, the love He has for you.

The love He has for you, a love to Him as pleasure.
A love to Him as joy, a love to Him as treasure.

The love He has for you, a love with all His might.
A strong and power love, a love that's glowing bright.

A love no one can measure, dimensions without clue.
No boundary or a wall, the love He has for you.

A love to keep Him close, to stick to you like glue.
A love to give His all, the love He has for you.

A love that's always willing, alert without miscue.
A love that's eager ready, the love He has for you.

Gift to show His love, the love He has for you.

So now you know His love, a love that's ready due.
A love to cherish now, the love He has for you.

So now you know His love, a love you must pursue.
Pursue throughout eternity, the love He has for you.

So now you know His love, a love to crown you too.
A love to rule beside Him, the love He has for you.

So now you know His love, a love that grew and grew.
A love forever growing, the love He has for YOU!

"Beware Of Thinking You!"

This poem's about a lesson,
it's something you must do.
Stay focused on your citizens,
to beware of thinking you!

Stay focused on your love,
your bride that's Holy true.
Must love with full attention,
so beware of thinking you.

Thoughts of you yourself,
must conquer and subdue.
Must focus on your citizens,
and beware of thinking you.

Must think about your citizens,
to rule and lead them through.
Lead them through eternity,
just beware of thinking you.

For if you lose your focus,
and self is what you view.
You're blind to Holy greatness,
must beware of thinking you.

For greatness is to serve,
a goal you must pursue.
A king disguised as servant,
should beware of thinking you.

A king who loves to serve,
your bride you'll love and woo.
The treasure of your heart,
so beware of thinking you.

Treat them as dear family,
must stick to them like glue.
Serve them every chance,
but beware of thinking you.

Must be at beck and call,
to answer upon cue.
To overflow their joy,
to beware of thinking you.

No secret wish of gain,
no feel of something due.
Just give without receive,
and beware of thinking you.

When all your love is given,
and love for self is slew.
You've met your Holy purpose,
now beware of thinking you.

The reason you were made,
wise king you'll grow into.
Made only for your citizens,
so beware of thinking you.

Made only for their love,
their joy you will renew.
Their king who gave his all,
just beware of thinking you.

For when their joy is full,
it'll touch and Bless you too.
It'll quickly Bless my Father,
must beware of thinking you.

I learned my Holy lesson,
it taught me something new.
A lesson about myself,
it's beware of thinking you.

For when I rule in heaven,
it's greatness I'll pursue.
I'll give myself away,
will beware of thinking you.

I'll quickly freely give,
my best I will outdo.
I'll always seek to serve,
and beware of thinking you.

I'll think about my citizens,
I'll love and Bless them too.
I'll keep them on my mind,
I'll beware of thinking you!
