The here and now
Dear Ian,
Here is your horoscope
for Wednesday, July 4:
Give your allegiance to the present, not to the past. As you move forward, you have to know what you can leave behind. The truth is, almost none of it is so necessary that you have to carry it on your back.
This is what my horoscope says. Shet... parang si Mr. Linderman in Heroes. You can't have both. You have to choose between a life of happiness or a life of meaning. A life of meaning requires you to always remember the past and worry about the future. A life of happiness means you have to live in the here and now.
My horoscope is waxing poignant. Is this really what my life has become? I've been replaying the past in my head (events, people, places - both good and bad) and to tell you honestly, a lot of them are under the "cringe worthy" category. Though they're funny now (the formula for comedy is tragedy plus time), I can't help but still feel hurt/humiliation/regret/pain (choose your adjective). How true all this is. I have to let go of the past to be happy.
***
I want to thank Ruby and Pamstr (not Pastor, I wish though....hay... dakilang fan...) for reading and giving me comments on "You will be".
I don't usually let the entire world read my stuff. Even if I'm partial to exhibitionism, I still feel so vulnerable when I let someone else read my stories. Parang di ko kaya pag sinabi nilang panget ang sinulat ko. R & P's comments made my year. This is validation that I don't offend the entire world with my writings.
Tenks mehn! This gives me the right to write some more and post some more. Hehehe....
Brewster - thanks din. You read it and said it was good first. Mishyu and pakyu (wala lang...) Hehehe...
