It's going to be all right.

I bet everyone of us hits a rough patch in life, now and then. Cuts and stabs to the heart, some minor and some major ones. The minor ones takes a long time to heal and the major ones takes an even longer time to heal or sometimes does not heal and when it does heal, often leaves a scar. Well, everyone has a scarred heart, other then a 1 day old baby, maybe.

When we are in that state of 'hurt' and 'pain' we are often driven to do things that hurt others that ends up hurting ourselves even more. Not true? Try to think back the times you got hurt, it might be a break up, study problem, a fight, a family problem, a financial problem....the list goes on...

When a person is hurt, they will dwell in that hurt. I've come across many people who live in self denial when they are hurt. Remember times you tell yourself or your friends/family members :

"I'm Ok" OR "It's going to be OK"
"I can live without that guy/girl, I'm better off single"
"F*** everyone, I'm better off alone"

Let me tell you this, IT'S NOT OK.
You are in hurt and you need somebody to talk to.
Find someone that you really know and trust and just lay your heart out, it will feel much better!
Cry and just let go of that hurt! Who says guys should not cry?!
If you can't find a friend or it's a huge secret, call a local help line, example : BEFRIENDERS 03-79568144 or 03-79568145 (Open 24 hours!)

If it is a really major hurt that feels like it has cut your heart in two, where you feel that :

you have no reason to live
you can't go on living
your problem have eaten you up so much that you just wish it all would end?

Trust me, it's not the end.

It may seam like everything is bleak and grey where no colours exist anymore.

It's NOT..

Want to know something? The sky is always blue, it's only when the dark clouds covers it where it seams all dark and grey, but beyond those dark and grey clouds, is still a very blue sky!

Life is like that! When we let hurt, rejections, failures, disappointments and stress cloud up our blue blue sky all we see are just grey skies and dark clouds we tend to forget that blue blue sky beyond those dark clouds.

Start breaking up those dark clouds, make them pour by sharing that burden with someone, shrink those dark clouds to let your blue sky peak through!

Another way is by pushing the dark clouds aside to let a bit of that blue sky beyond shine through. How? Look in to your memory of pass blue skies, how blue the sky was before it became all cloudy with those dark and grey clouds. Those dark and grey clouds that you are able to get rid off and have those blue skies once again.

Or it might be simple as starting to appreciate the things you have in life, a family, a roof over your head, the food that you get to eat, and your very own life.

My own recipe for my own blue sky is finding a patch of blue each day. For me is sunshine, my stinky pillow, a yummy bowl of curry mee or warm nasi lemak, my besties, Him, a nice cup of Green Tea Frap from Starbucks...the list goes on...

I also try to share my patch of blue sky with some one each day, a simple smile and thank you goes a long way. Smile and say thank you to the person that makes your coffee, the person that serves you food, the person that holds the lift for you, the postman......!! A smile costs nothing you know? =)

Life is like the sky, not everyday is a sunny day with blue skies, there are times where it will be dark and cloudy but after it has pass, blue sunny sky is here again once more. The choice is in your hands.

Do you want to let your sky be cloud up with those dark and grey clouds?
OR
Do you want to step up and start getting rid of those dark and grey clouds, to have your own piece of blue blue sky once more?


Think about it!
