faith alone wont sustain us anymore
i said goodbye to a good friend of mine today. he is going back to his homeland, a part of his life which he has been missing for some time now. we had a discussion before he departed about life in general. he gave me some good advice that i must not forget. we spoke about understanding people, and understanding yourself. it's very important to believe what comes out of your own mouth, otherwise why speak it. if you do not believe in yourself then no one else will. i told him about how i wished to change my life for so long, that it has seemed like i have been stuck in an unchanging world, and i know it is up to myself to alter it. i told him about the sadness which dwells inside me, how overwhelming it is at times though i suppress it, and he told me how it's alright to cry, and it requires strength to do so, lol, but you have to be able to laugh at yourself. and that whatever mistakes are made in the past, do not dwell on them for we are only human, and what is important is that you learn from your mistakes. my friend is very wise, i hope he writes that book so that more people can learn from his knowledge. i told him how i did not know what i desired out of life, he told me that i must search within myself until i find that answer, and when i do, shoot an arrow toward it. you need to search for answers inside of you, not in others. i will miss my friend greatly, but i will see him again come a few months. come that time we will both be better people
