quiet musings

sometimes we do really have to make sacrifices or we compromise if we believe in that which we value the most. and oftentimes, it comes almost naturally, like second nature. but there are moments, like when the paranoia that isn't even yours to begin with, creeps in on you and you are made to think, whether or not this is really what you want for yourself. because always, one has a choice.

reaffirmation of personal choices is part of our everyday. and like the sacrifices we make, the reaffirmations can become almost second nature, like something we don't need to consciously make. except of course, when the everyday is visited by the out-of-the-ordinary. like a distraction of sort. an unwelcome gesture.

hence, the need to look inside one's innermost longings and desires. is this what i really want? what i'm willing to put up with?

at times, too, there's endless rationalization. or qualifications--a barrage of thoughts that floods one's already intricate and complicated mind.

yeah...the everyday... the minor jolts we get when we become too comfortable with where we stand...

one can only be thankful to know that regardless of all the distractions and jolts made obvious, the choices made are still the ones that give him happiness.

and in that case, the reaffirmations are not hard to make.
