Life in Orange-Tinted Glasses

the unbearable lightness of wengky

October 29, 2009

In “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”, Milan Kundera says that we’ll never know if we really made the right decisions unless we repeat our lives and try different kinds of paths. Hence, we feel an “unbearable lightness”, because we only live once, as if our lives are devoid of meaning.

(Oh my, I talk about the book as if I’m through with it. Still a hundred pages away, LOL.)

Well I guess, I’ll never know if I made the right decision, I won’t have another life to test another path, but all I know now is, and I want to believe, that I’m right where I’m supposed to be… destiny, if I may call it.

And I’m happy and I’m grateful for everyday. I just swallow it all in, the good, the bad, the tough, the easy… and it gives me peace. There is no such thing as a perfect place, and knowing that makes me appreciate more where I am. To live everyday and live with my heart’s desire is one of the greatest gifts God has given me. To be able to go home every night and smile a big smile to my Mu and Pu. I want return that blessing by working hard (and smart, I hope). Maybe I wouldn’t really need another life to figure things out, if I did it right or wrong. I wouldn’t need another life to know that I can and I will fulfill my purpose.

The path of life is no red carpet, but I’ll keep walking (but of course I’ll rest for a while sometimes, we all need to!) until I reach the stage of my dreams. :)

 

 

P.S. Be still, my heart, be still, please.

And mind, stop being such a weakling.

 

P.S. 2 Recently I created my first “Favorites” playlist in my iTunes. (How delayed of me, as always. LOL) Just wanna share the tracks in it:

  

These are the songs that I can listen to on constant loop and I won’t ever get tired. Woohoo. I’ll be adding more sometime soon, surely I would! There’s a lot of good stuff out there! \m/
