When we meet the right person to love, when we’re at the right place at the right time,

That’s chance.

When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice.

That’s chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice.

That’s also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards.

When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level?

That’s when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with her faults, that’s not a chance.  That’s choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that’s choice.

Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, That’s choice.

Infatuation, crushes, and attraction come to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.

Regarding soul mates, there’s a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this:

"Fate brings you together, but it’s still up to you to make it happen."

I believe that soul mates do exist, that there is truly someone made for you.  But it’s still up to you to make the choice if you’re going to do something about it or not.

We may meet our soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with our soul mate is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love,

BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly.

Manusia bahagia bila dia dapat membuka mata. Untuk menyedari bahawa dia
memiliki banyak perkara yang bererti.

Manusia dapat bahagia bila dia mahu membuka mata hati. Untuk menyedari,
betapa dia dicintai.

Manusia dapat bahagia, bila dia mahu membuka diri. Agar orang lain dapat
mencintainya dengan tulus.

Manusia tidak bahagia kerana tidak mahu membuka hati, berusaha meraih
yang tidak dapat diraih, memaksa untuk mendapatkan segala yang
diinginkan, tidak mahu menerima dan mensyukuri yang ada.

Manusia buta kerana ego dan hanya memikirkan diri, tidak sedar bahawa dia
begitu dicintai, tidak sedar bahawa saat ini, apa yang ada adalah baik, selalu
berusaha meraih lebih, dan tidak mahu sedar kerana serakah.

Ada teman yang begitu mencintai, namun tidak diindahkan, kerana memilih,
menilai dan menghakimi sendiri. Memilih teman dan mencari-cari, padahal
didepan mata ada teman yang sejati. Telah memiliki segala yang terbaik,
namun serakah, ingin dirinya yang paling diperhatikan, paling disayang, selalu
menjadi pusat perhatian, selalu dinomborsatukan.

Padahal, semua manusia memiliki peranan, hebat dan nombor satu dalam
satu perkara, belum tentu dalam perkara lain, dicintai oleh satu orang belum
tentu oleh orang lain.

Kebahagiaan bersumber dari dalam diri kita sendiri. Jikalau berharap dari
orang lain, maka bersiaplah untuk ditinggalkan, bersiaplah untuk dikhianati.

Kita akan bahagia bila kita dapat menerima diri apa adanya, mencintai dan
menghargai diri sendiri, mahu mencintai orang lain, dan mahu menerima orang
lain.

Percayalah kepada Tuhan, dan bersyukurlah kepadaNya, bahawa kita selalu
diberikan yang terbaik sesuai usaha kita, tidak perlu berkeras hati. DIA akan
memberi kita di saat yang tepat apa yang kita perlukan, meskipun bukan hari
ini, masih ada esok hari. Berusaha dan bebahagialah kerana kita dicintai
begitu ramai orang.

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded
By the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me?
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound
But no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto
A time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me?
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

I’ve made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?
