I live like there is no tomorrow, love as if I do not know heartache, dream as if i have not known failure, embraced the world as if it embraced me back, and I write as if I will die without words.
I am Ayien.

-Choices-

Every day we strive to make our lives better - for altruistic or selfish reasons. We strive to achieve a certain kind of balance hoping that for what ever choices that we make it shall be for the better. However, life is not always in equilibrium. We hardly or even never strike a balance. Always, there are trade offs. We have to choose between or among options. And when we make our choice, we drop the other options. Options that could be better than what we have chosen or worse.
We often trust our reason for our options or sometimes we let our emotions lead our way when we make our choices. But most of the time we base our decision on what is right or wrong. And always we choose what is right. There is nothing bad about that. However, choices need not always to be good. And bad choices are not necessarily detrimental. Because in the end, what matters most is not about making the right choices but if the choices that we made made us happier and better individuals. Because in the end, when all of the other faces are gone, we only ourselves. Our decisions are not solely for the betterment of other but because we are happy that we made their lives better.
And so far as I look back I am glad for the choices that I have made. They might have made me lose some, but I definitely gained more from them. And yes, I am definitely happy.
