ladder ups and downs

u know sometimes when we fall, thinking that once we hit constant velocity nothing will accelerate anymore, anything including the hurt, the sadness, the negativities...

and how naive we all are.. didnt we learn in physics that when sth is free-falling and hits constant velocity, although accelaration is zero, the speed is great..

maybe we cant feel it. maybe we're numb to how fast we're slipping that we are unaware of what's happening..that's when we need a wake up call. a wake up call from heaven..

that's when we "think" the gd things start. they get us going, make our day. but in actual fact, we past by so many other "better things" yet we didnt notice them coz we're busy tending to our wounds and pains, our problems and troubles.. it might not be a fantastic thing, situation or person. it can be juz a sudden awareness of nature, of the little angel talking on our shoulder, a little voice inside you communicating.. it can be sth an actor said, sth u noticed on ur way home, sth that caught ur eyes in school.. it can be anything. and it can also be nothing. that's when we just snap out of "lala land.."

when the happy things lift us up, we climb up the happiness ladder. there's only 2 way u can go on the ladder. up or down. u can choose to climb (up or down), and u can also choose to jump off. that's when u give up, free fall until u decided to grab one of the lower steps of the ladder. once in a blue moon, sth gives u a lift up the ladder, saving ur energy from climbing yet brings u to a better view.. that is when u muz take note never to be complacent and wave to the person below. coz when u do that, u'll lose ur balance and fall. when u're in a better position, it's the best time to lend the person below u a helping hand so that he or she can enjoy the gd view with you.

however, not all gd things stay. when u're enjoying the fresher air on top, taking in the beautiful scenery and enjoying the cool breeze, someone overtakes you, and maybe gives u a push down the ladder. other case maybe such that the same thing that brings u up makes u fall. and when that happens, coz u hav more potential energy, u'll fall faster.

life... up and down and up again. there is no way u can stay in one spot forever. sometimes, u have to learn to let go in order to start anew.. sometimes u hav to hold tight and stop urself frm falling, even if that means u'll be hurt badly.. we learn as we go. we learn as we grow. frm mistakes, frm regrets, frm gd and also from the bad. and if sth greater and bigger topples the whole ladder, accept that it's beyond our control. dun blame urself, others or the world. when that happens, be glad that for once, everyone can start at the same point. from square 1.. =)
