Ever Since Then...

If there’s one thing 2016 has made me realize, it’s that life is INDEED full of unexpected twists and turns… and beautiful amazing surprises as well!

My life has always been the predictable one. The one which parents are proud of, friends are always happy about and one’s self is contented with.

I am always sure about everything in my life before. Decisions were made confidently. Never did I question or doubt about anything I decide for myself. I have always known what I wanted and I always work hard to get them. Always.

Until one day…

Something came up. Life never warned me about this. I was never prepared. Suddenly my life turned upside down. Everything that used to be in order just went out of hand.

Someone was hurt. Terribly hurt.

Friends questioned. Friends judged. They couldn’t and wouldn’t understand. Some did, though.

Family was disappointed, I think, at some point. But they always accept the decision made. They trust me. I know. But I can tell I saddened them a bit.

Some strangers wouldn’t agree. I don’t know how could they ever matter but they think they do. They have opinions which they want to count. I just don’t understand why their opinions should count. They don’t matter anyway. I’ve had enough in my plate already.

And then there’s him. Along with all the chaos and the judgment and the confusions, there’s him. He came without warning. He is life’s greatest surprise – my most beautiful surprise. Along with all the heart-breaking things that came tumbling down my way, he firmly held my hand and never let it go.

And ever since then, he never let me go…
