a need for change

he said that life was like a box of chocolates, and that you'll never know what you get inside. indeed, you will never know what you will get inside. but before getting that box of chocolates, don't tell me you bought hershey's bittersweet chocolate expecting something else like white chocolate inside.

i always believed that all of us are in control of our lives. we control our destiny and we make our own choices. we may be swayed by those around us, but ultimately, it is the choices we make that sets us on the path of our own lives.

it is indeed another rainy day, and i'm loving it.

my life hasn't always been perfect in a normal sense. how good can life be when you endure failures and suffering? people always choose to see the darker side of life, and only choose to embrace the darkness. but what i'm trying to bring across here is that darkness should be embraced, and you should hold steady in your hands, a lit candle that will help you see through the darkness.

when i was young, i mixed with the wrong company and went on a rebellion rampage. as i grew older, i got worse and began to stray from my ideals. it took me some time to get my act together. it took a threat from my dad to wake me up from my carefree slumber. it took several scarring from my mum to get properly educated. that is my life.

today, as i look around, i see my past in alot of people. carefree and reckless. youths spending their parents money on rubbish just to satisfy their basic needs and the need for acceptance into their "community" which would one day screw them over. i see helpless people, who lack that personal drive in doing something and let their emotions get the better of them. i see failure turned into more failure because giving up seems like the best option.

indeed there is a need for change. i want to be the change.
