Courage, dear heart

In moments when we feel lost, weak, doubtful, or scared, a powerful whisper can arise from within: "Courage, dear heart." This phrase, inspired by C.S. Lewis, is more than just words. It's a lifeline, a gentle reminder that even in unfamiliar territories, we've faced similar challenges before and triumphed.

"Courage, dear heart"

-C.S. Lewis, Voyage of the dawn threader

The journey of life is punctuated with peaks and valleys, light and shadow. There might be times when we stand at crossroads, unsure of which direction to take. Or moments when the weight of the world seems unbearably heavy on our shoulders. Yet, if we pause and listen closely, the whisper returns, "Courage, dear heart."

Remember, this isn't our first rodeo. We've navigated choppy waters before and have always found our way back to shore. It's this resilience, this inherent strength within, that propels us forward.

So the next time doubt clouds your path, or fear tries to hold you back, summon that voice from within. Remind yourself of past victories, of challenges surmounted, and whisper: "Courage, dear heart." Because we've been here before, and we've always emerged stronger. We can, and will, do it again.

A psychologist once said, 'Relationships are transactions of value.' The transaction remains invisible when functioning well. However, no matter how strong the relationship is, if individuals are in different phases of life, one must let go while the other accepts it's end. Saying goodbye may be bittersweet, yet it involves hoping for someone's best interests and trusting that they will live their best life until their paths cross again. .....

Mt. TAPULAO

"The danger of an adventure is worth a thousand days of ease and comfort." —Paulo Coelho Since I don't have work on Monday and Tuesday, I decided to take a hike to clear my mind and evaluate where I am in life. I chose to hike Mt. Tapulao, located in Palauig and part of the Zambales mountain range. The hike started at 4:00 AM, with a beautiful sky in the background. The first 3 kilometers of the 18-kilometer hike to the summit (36 kilometers in total, since this is a back trail ) are on an asphalt road that was previously a dirt road. During these first 3 kilometers, I was faster than my co-hikers, but I couldn't keep up with the first guide and the leading hiker. I found myself walking alone on a dark road, reflecting on many things while being wary of cars that could hit me. After 3 kilometers, the end of the asphalt road revealed the West Philippine Sea in the background, where I could spot Chinese ships. This made me think about how close the disputed territorie...

It has been a while since I tried to write something, after being carried by the waves and trying to control the flow in which life is trying to lead me. I didn't even know if I am an adult now because I still think I am not yet mature enough to face the future as I was being carried away by the present maybe it is because of the pandemic or perhaps because I was just the go with the flow guy til now? or maybe I was just playing safely inside my comfort zone in the past years. Being 25 I always remind myself to take it slowly but it is hard to take it slow when the world revolves too fast even though I have some achievements under my belt it is still the feeling that I still didn't achieve much or maybe I was just aiming high when I don't have the perseverance and the mindset to get what I want at this age. Being 25 means a lot of choices maybe it was the crossroads that determine where will life will lead you? or maybe it was just another age year waiting to pass in this b...
