light at the end of the tunnel

you hit the lowest points in life sometimes.

when those points come along, you wish you had someoone to talk to. someone who understood you like no one else did. someone who gave you the comfort which you couldn't give yourself.

when times like this arrive, we usually hope that either a friend of family stops by to help. more often than not, there is someone who stops to help.

one person who says that even though the doors are closed, the windows are open. that even though you're going through a tunnel of darkness, there's always light at the end of it. that even though you've hit rock bottom, you can use it to help you climb higher.

these are the people that help through rough times. these are the people who care about you. these are the people that'll look out for you when you don't wanna look out for yourself.

when that person comes along in life, remember, you haven't hit rock bottom.

they are the windows. they are the light. they are the rocks which help you climb higher.

breaking down walls

when you grow up, you start building walls around you. you put one brick at a time, until you've built walls high enough and thick enough for you to protect yourself.

you hope that one day a person will come and tear down those walls so that you're living happily ever after. but that's not true.

one day someone will come along. they try to break down those walls. and one day someone succeeds. they break you're walls leaving you vulnerable. and then they leave.

they don't try to build it back for you. they don't help you put the walls back one by one. they just break it and leave. then anything can get to you. they don't realize that one by one you're the one that has to build your walls back up. this time though, you'll add an extra brick. an extra wall. just so that the same person can't break through.

you keep on hoping that the person who breaks your wall will be the one. more often than not, he's not the one. but you still do it. you still allow your walls to be broken down. you still hope that he is the one.

all you can do is wait. and rebuild. one brick at a time.
