the twins

I've been blessed to have, for the most part, only met good strangers in this world. I made wonderful friends, have nice colleagues, and have harnessed a general belief that there is good in all people.


And I've learnt my life's toughest lessons from my family. But the most important one will be forgiveness. In a world full of imperfections and mistakes, it takes so much to accept what is. The idealist pushes on for perfection, and changes, and revolutions. He is scared of imperfections and relentlessly strives for a better world and better people - refusing to ever give up. And the realist pushes to accept, to adapt, and to learn when to stop pushing for something that may not be my battle to fight at all. He is scared of changes that may not be needed, and strives to move onwards with stability, peace, and the natural good in us. There isn't one resolve. There are many, and change each day with each incident. But at the end of the day, despite all that brings me down, my heart and mind come together to seek only one solution - one that will help me move on and be a better person and be happy. The balance of my two characters will forever be changing with situations, and the answer I find today may not be the answer for tomorrow. It's a different lesson - one I'll be forever only learning.

I struggle to find something to hold on to. Something that will never ever change. Maybe the most important thing that I know will never change is my courage - my belief in myself - it's what I will hold on to and believe to pull me through tough times.
