Turning Points


I’m not sure what change we went through first. But 1 thing I’m so very sure of - that we have gone through a looot of changes before coming up with every inch of the “us” now. Some of w/c are very crucial changes; the make or break at some level of our lives.. The so called ‘turning points’..

Each of us has his/her own turning points that we consider. People comes in variety, and so does change. As for me, counting how many turning points i already had?? Well, that probably needs a deeper thinking.. But ‘m sure i had my fair share..

Fortunately &/or unfortunately, I’m on the most serious one so far. The feeling? Can’t put into words. One of the grown up stuffs that is really complicated. Crucial decisions to make; the better and bitter part is that ‘I’ have to make it, weigh things from what I learned from my soon-to-be 25 years of living. Literally,decision making is now an obligation w/ a lot of responsibilities and strong commitment to consider. The most excruciating truth about it is that it is much much easier said than done. If it’s already hard just putting into words how it feels like, what it feels like…- imagine putting it into action.. how it’s done, what to do.. It’s like a blank canvas you are obliged to face, have to make your master piece in it without yet the necessary tools and everything. A lot of thinking, a lot of strategies..guts,risks to take and rules to break. And whatever the outcome, it’s yours to explain, to defend, to bear..- for a long period, if not for the rest of your lifetime.

In one way or another, we all will have to go through life’s turning points. We may vary in many aspects - beliefs, reasoning, strategies, doubts.. We may differ at many things - environment, lifestyle, economic status, religion, raise, educational level.. etc.. But the fact that we all go through changes every now and then remains. I bet all of us at some points of our lives, gone/go through the crazy adventure of failures and success, contentment and regrets, laughters and tears, smiles and sighs, profits and debts, heavenly peace and sleepless nights, sweet and sour memories, and so on..

The point is- life’s road has a lot of twist and turns, highs and lows, ups and downs.. and that we all have to deal with in the best way we know and the best way we can.. Whatever we have to do, we can only do it NOW!

All of us are afraid of losing something/someone, little do we know that losing that something/someone will be our turning point to change for the betterment of our lives.

magka edad pala tayo halos... parang nag eemo ka ah...sabi kasi nila pag nalalapit na ang 25th year mong nabubuhay, may feeling na nag eemo daw talaga...this is the time na i-a-access natin ung buhay natin and think if we are really growing up and not just growing old.

those life twitches you have mentioned are the ones that defines our whole being...those are the things that makes/breaks us... whats important is that we take everything as they come, see every positive sides of it and think of how to surpass and see it as a new learning experience. life alone is a learning process... the humps/bumps/twitches that comes our way.. it helps to keep us strong..

congrats sa bagong domain...

turning point... hmmm... i know yan ang pinaghalong freezing point at boiling point. either state, gusto nating umalis sa temp. level na un. we have to turn somewhere... para marating ang equilibrium.

at kung tama ang dinaanan mo palayo sa extremes na pinaggalingan mo, perfect ang TURNING POINT!

basta ang mahalaga, ang lessons... bitbitin mo, wag mong iiwanan....

see you around kosa...

Turning points or yung tinatawag ko na IT moments... yung maaalala ko yung life before IT, and what happened after IT...

dami ako niyan... and lahat yun, may natutunan ako.. nice post kosa!!!

Sa simula nitong Turning Point pakiramdam ko parang namumrublema ka. [Ano ba ang dapat mong gawin bago o kapag 25 years old ka na? Pag-aasawa? Ito ang mahirap kapag generalized ang usapan, hindi ako nakaka-relate kaagad. Whew!]

Pero good. Hindi pala ito post ng miseries at failures, ito pala ay punung-puno ng mga positive thoughts at insights (magkaiba ba 'yon?) sa dulo. Akala ko kasi kailangan kong mag-advice pagkatapos kong magbasa kaya muntik na akong maglipat ng channel.

Ang nangyari, ako pala ang binigyan ng payo.

Salamat! U

Carpe diem (seize the day)! sabi nga sa isang wento na nabasa ko sa Chicken Soup 4 the soul...

For what we only have is today. and we will never know what will happen tomorrow. Mahirap yung magpadala lang tayo sa agos ng buhay. Growing old is not a "big deal" kundi yung pagkakaroon mo ng mas malaking obligasyon, matured issues to deal with at kung anik2 pang kalokohan ng seryosong buhay yung mahirap timbangin.

May kanya-kanyang turning points ang bawat isang tao,(gaya nga ng sabi mo). Basta eto lang...

"God will never permit anything to happen if it is not meant to be."
-hindi usaping puso yan ah, its in general...Ayun, just think think think 10 times before deciding on that serious matter.

May Godbless you always!:)

here's my two-cents'-worth:

life's a bitch and you have to be a bitchier, fuck-me-Freddy bastard to live.

minor correction:
it's "people come (without S)" on the 2nd paragraph.

now, i really am seriously contemplating on going back to my nosebleed, English-speaking Lio Loco persona.

Nebz said...

I totally agree.

Life is never a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice.

Naiinggit ako sa yo. 25 k p lang pero alam mo nang mag-analyze ng buhay mo. When I was 25, I never cared where I'm going or what will be the consequences of my choices are. Basta larga lang.

Pansinin mo, life has its ways of correcting our errors. Pero sabi mo nga depende sa tao.

Agree ako kay Oracle at Jen: Yesterday was too late...tomorrow is too early...NOW is the time. So seize it.

taena..nasa bahay mo ba ako kosa? nanibago ako dito...dot com ka na, english na rin ang entrada...lufet....lolz...

abe mulong caracas said...

turning 25 ka dyan!

anyway, there are matters in life that we tend to consider differently from the norms that we have.

at times, dealing with them makes us stronger but it is in the same way that it could lead us in the direction of no return.

in this time of uncertainty, when would we consider an experience as a turning point? can you give me an overview your honor?

Lawstude said...

a agree, truning points or major decisions in life can either make or break you. just be strong and stand by the choices you have made and never regret anything you have done. GOD helps.

Ohgod! Dumugo ilong ko. Ano nakain mo at biglang umiba ang tono mo? Heartbroken? Gutom? suffering from middle life crisis? o wala lang gusto mo lang magpa-impress ng kadakilaan mo sa englisan?
