Becoming Heroes

saving the world...

it's all in our hands...

such a Catholic doctrine.

the world is not for God to save. it's for us to. why lament at how bad things go if we don't do something about it?

life is shitty sometimes. no one doubts that. and i always remember 10 years ago, a friend who's 20 years older than me told me that if a person ever says they have no regrets in life, they have not lived enough. i didn't believe it then... but i half believe it now. it's not about carrying regrets but only one who has tasted real regret, in saying goodbye, or letting go but wishing there wasn't a need to, for example, who can claim they have lived?

i'm not too sure. it's open to debate!

but yes, life is shitty sometimes. sometimes oftentimes too. how do we handle these shitty moments... and above that, continue to be resilient in being good people, undaunted by sways of the world to conform to its demands, to keep that sparkle in our eyes, the bubbly laugh erupting from within, that quiet smile of true appreciation and to dare to live and love no matter how many times we fall?

how do we be heroes in our own lives?
