Words and I

A stranger sent me an email today. I usually delete emails from strangers even before I read them. Today was unusual. Here is the content:

"Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!" William Hazlitt

The words just stopped me for a moment. How true it is! was a comment I shouted inside.

I am sure God has His hands on this. He always does.

I have always been thinking about how our happiness sometimes affect others and the other way around. So does our sadness. Then it should be difficult to live reflected on others’ life. But that’s exactly what most of us do. We live according to what others view on what a life should be. It’s not wrong, but not right either.

I think we should be happy in our own way, from the heart, and hope it will affect others. Besides, happiness is inside, not outside.

January has always been so special to me. It’s the month of my birth and it’s the most quickly-passed-month of the year, I think. Everyone has been so wrapped up in December, with lots of holiday and traveling, that they forget January and are anticipating for February to come. Lol. That’s what I have always thought.

January is the month when I think a lot. Not that I don’t think a lot in other months. Mm… come to think of it, have I ever really thought so much? Sometimes too much, sometimes I don’t ever think at all. But in January, I have to think, whether I like it or not. I like to think about my existence. Whoa!

Yes, I’m the one who loves being invisible, and that by having a birthday I would practically be getting lots more attention than usual, it really scares me sometimes. I always think somebody else should get more attention, such as… a street child…er… or a lost dog?? (I can really feel how a celebrity feels. LOL)

Well, the thing is, there are lots of things we must think about, all crucial things which affect the life of millions of people. We shouldn’t be so selfish. Think outside the box, do the action! (I’m trying….)

So, this month I made a pledge. I’m part of this world and I should contribute more than editing comics (which, honestly, after reading some, I don’t find an ‘aha’ moment, something which uplifts you, something like you can feel your spirit soars, something you get after reading The Road, for example.). 

What and how shall I contribute? I think I’ll think of it when I’ll be hiding soon on my birthday.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, all Earthians!
