Seasons of life:

I can't really remember who said this quote but I know I got it from the states by one of my mentors . Probably the one who passed away early last year.
It is true that when your alone and fending for yourself away from the country you known almost for your whole life, the familiar way of life, away from close friends and family; that is when we face trials untold that will test limits of our tanure. Testing our limits of integrity, strength, emotion,
sanity, logic, loyalty, patience, maturity, trust, will-power and constitution. Many times I have faced countless trials/challenges alone or with close confidents. Depression ,frustration, hopelessness , anguish, anger ,hatred are all too common during this time.
At times it will seem bleak and the whole world is being undo. But I'm always reminded this is but a
war of the last wolves . At least in my mind only. A mental battle of our limits tested above. To shape and modify us, to create and refine and
define who we are for the coming future. In a way also a transition from the care-free teen years and pre-adult hood to actual adulthood. Whether you call it young-adult/early-adult is still adulthood and believe me it's not a walk in the park as many can testify.
Trying times indeed. I myself felt that the biggest challenge was always the challenge of the heart and emotions, something which I lack control at times. After all I have my flaws and I'm only human. For others it may be other limitations but that is of another story.
Like a farmer living a
quiet life listening to the sound of the first snow falling. One can only treasure the simple things of life, and they are wonderful in deed, like sunrise and sunsets, glazing at the constelation at night on a blue grass KY field, Waves beating on the shores gently by the beachside; only through experiencing trials of difficulty and hardship can one seem pass the simplistic nature of these events and become aware of its actual beauty and richness. It is for me.
Shades of a Revolution: Character building and personality alignment is all part of life and also part and parcel of the transition of adulthood. Challenges above are just its course load.

In Memories): I always believe everything happens for a reason. Whether we can see the logic/reason for it happening now,3 months later, a year,or a decade later is beyond our control. What I do know however the future is what we make it to be.
"The future is on a blank ticket of a train, Where the destination is what we write on it"
