Because this is a daily journal, there will be daily entries about new discoveries, lessons I was able to learn and all that jazz every day. (Now, that is redundant)..

I got this from Casey, my first buddy. She would always ask us every midnight what we learned for that day. I simply refuse to answer because of the limited space and the fact that I did not really learn anything because I was asleep the entire day and my "day" is just starting.


FORGET that. It makes no such sense anyway. So, here is what I learned today.

I learned something I have learned before and yet completely forgotten because of the fun I had these past few years.


YOU CAN RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING IS THAT IT WILL CATCH UP ON YOU SOONER OR LATER AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FACE IT.


Yep,. I have been running away from all my problems. Escaping reality and creating a world of my own. For a whole month, I shut myself from the entire world (well, not really the entire world, just half of it) and filled myself with long nights watching movies, delayed episodes of my favorite TV series and similar things...


I was putting all the work and the stress aside... forgetting that they actually exist and convincing myself that they will fix themselves on their own. And now, all the work, the stress and problems are piling up and I have to face them. I am going ga-ga already, figuring out which one should come first and which should be left alone.... for sometime..

Here is my justification. You spent the entire six months high on stress, pressures and what-nots. It seemed then that when God showered the world with problems, You were there holding a basin over your head. So why is it very wrong that you savor this limited time that you have and make up for all those days when happiness and peace of mind were strange words in your vocabulary right?

Wrong.

Because when you do not deal with your problems as soon as possible, they will pile up. And then, it becomes impossible for you to try and fix them. You will be encouraged to run away from them every chance you get. Will that help you?

NO.

You can run from your problems but heck, they will still haunt you in the future. And by that time, it becomes worst.



So there fudgy mudgy.. that is what I learned today.


May God have mercy on me..again.. and help me fix my problems.

Next time, I hope that this lesson learned will not leave my mind.


Ciao!
