MOVING ON
Arianne

Brokenhearted?


      To fly or not to fly – that is the question
      Because in this life, nothing is permanent
      What I once held dear will just vanish
      And the sad reality, everything is fake
      Happy ever after doesn't exist



It's time to let go!

For a long time, I've been at the top of my lungs
Screaming and asking for help
I've lost my voice but it's still not enough
Oh, how I wish I could just fly way and forget
Break the chains of misery that enslaves me
Been set free! :)

          To fly is to set free of myself
          Away from thousands of pain and hatred
          To finally let go of what's already gone
           It is really difficult, they say to me
          But through God, I'll soon make it through





            


                     "Ang LOVE parang SIPON...
                 Why do you keep on pulling it back, 
             when it’s better to let it go." :)

Trials: Triumphs in Disguise
Arianne
         Sometimes, we can’t help but say, LIFE AIN’T FAIR! But if we take a look again, we could understand that it actually happens for a reason. Sadly, it’s difficult to see yourself suffering while the others are enjoying. But the truth is that enjoyment would soon come to its end and it would be time for you to experience that.
      
   In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, the Knight’s tale captured my attention the most. Aside from being the one that I understand the most, it became my favorite because of its message. Like in the Knight’s tale, one best example of life being unfair is about LOVE. I don’t really understand it. All I know is you never know what awaits you. It could delight you and hurt you as well. It hurts a lot especially when you know deep down yourself that you’re jealous.Since we can’t always get what we want, jealousy is just so hard to avoid as to take at a glance at your crush. Sometimes, you just need to wait and wait.
          
   Palamon, one of the characters in the Knight’s tale, once felt the unfair treatment of destiny. He was alone behind the bars while his cousin Arcite had been set free. Thus, Arcite could make his move to Emelye, the girl who made his and Palamon’s world go crazy. He felt so much miserable, but still it looked like it was a blessing in disguise. Because of being prisoned, he could always see the love light of his.
       
     Another instance is when he was defeated against Palamon. But then again, it seemed that destiny was on his side. It was Arcite who won but an earthquake came and ended his life. So in the end, it was Palamon who became Emelye’s husband. After so much troubles that came, their love story ended like those in the fairytales which goes, “ And they lived happily ever after.”
          
    See? Life isn’t really always unfair. If you’d come and see, chances come when you feel like it is the end of everything. Yes,  sometimes we do fall, but it’s up to us if we choose to stay on the ground or make a way to stand up again. Indeed, LOVE CONQUERS ALL. So if you really love a person, don’t give up on him and wait for him, just in case. That’s all you need to win over the person you desire.

My Mama, My Own Superhero
Arianne
      My perceptions of a hero are someone who fights off to save the day,  someone who sacrifices everything even his own very life just for the sake of others and someone who is willing to help without expecting any prize in exchange. He could also be invisible but rest assured that if you need him he will always find ways to help you, no matter what it takes. For me, a hero needs not to wear a cape and some skimpy costume, he just needs a big heart to love and help others.

      If there is someone in my life upholding those descriptions, it would definitely be my very own MAMA. She is a hero not just because of the fact that she is an OFW, but it's because of how much she loves us so much that she even forgets about herself.
   
     I can still clearly remember the day she first left to work abroad. I celebrated my 9th birthday full of tears. It was too difficult for me to accept. I tried very hard to understand but I could still not get it why she needed to leave us. At first, I thought that maybe she was too tired of taking care of me. But , eventually after all the painstaking efforts she has done, I realized that going abroad is her act of love for us.

   My mom is my superhero because she is the one who listens and understands me when there is no one who would like to hear out my problems. 

    My mom is my superhero because her hugs and gentle words are the things in this world that give the best comfort. I would not trade anything for a cuddle with her.

      My mom is my superhero because she always think of only what is best for me. She always considers and put aside herself just to give almost everything to me.

      My mom is my superhero because she is inspiring. Her love, hard work and life always serve as my sole reason to excel in every single thing I do.
  
       My mom is my superhero because of her undying love for me and our family. I never met someone too selfless and generous as her. 

       If I can, I would want my superhero to be just one call away and she will be right here. But that is not the case. My superhero is incapable of that and yes, it is very lonely without her, but like what she often says to me, "SACRIFICE IS THE TRUE MEASURE OF LOVE". That made me realize that she is doing all of the hard work for me and our family.

      Because of those countless times she showered me so much care, love and protection, I am forever grateful to her. Truly, a big thank you is not enough. But I think if there are some ways that I could thank her for everything: it is by doing well in school.


     I am so happy and blessed to have her as my mother,and my own superhero. I know I am sometimes I am not worthy of her big sacrifices. I am sometimes too stubborn but, she still saves me in any way she could.  Right now, my superhero may be miles away and invisible. But her love for us, it will be always around. And it tells me loud and clear that she would always be there for me.

              
          I love you, Ma! ❤️
