Living Under My Own Shadows

 


I am caught in a web of ambiguity and existential torment, while some people confidently set their courses. The idea of committing to a certain vocation or life path appears ludicrous, comparable to practicing self-delusion. The gnawing sense of emptiness inside is made worse by the anxiety of not having a clear vision for the future, which clings to me like a shadow.

I struggle with the depressing idea that life lacks meaning or purpose fundamentally amid this huge sea of uncertainty. When we realize how pointless our existence is, pursuing our own aspirations and objectives becomes pointless. It seems as though we are unimportant beings lost in an uncaring universe, doomed to vanish into oblivion without leaving a permanent mark.

When faced with this gap of the existential, I take comfort in the idea that the voyage itself has a certain charm. I can choose my own course in the midst of the confusion and absurdity, led by ephemeral passions and joyous moments. I choose to view life as a blank canvas on which I can create my own abstract masterpiece—a mosaic of events that may not have an overarching meaning but nevertheless have personal significance—instead of giving in to the weight of nihilism.

I'm resolved to navigate the abyss with a sense of dark fascination and rebellious acceptance, despite the fact that the future is still unclear and devoid of intrinsic purpose. Knowing that my existence is simply a momentary flicker in the vastness of the cosmos, I shall accept the uncertainty. In this nihilistic dance, I might also find meaning-fragments, however fleeting, as I make my way across the mysterious void of the unknown.

Giving is Not Only for a Season

     Christmas is something celebrated every 25th of December. In the month of September, the rising of Ber Months, and the month where the Christmas countdown kick off. November, the month before the Christmas Season, people starts to buy Christmas decorations and gifts. Parties and Programs are also planned during this time. As we approach the month of December, people starts to sing Christmas carols and decorate houses including streets, as a symbol of the beginning of  Festive Season; The Season of Giving.      A lot of people celebrated Christmas, but not myself and my family. We are members of the Church of Christ and it is against the teachings of our Lord God. However, there is one thing we celebrate during that day, the day of my birth. We may not celebrate Christmas, but we celebrate the day that god decided to bring me into this world. Large feasts and receiving gifts is a part of celebrating it. Out of town trips as well as shopping is also...

Handing Wisdom

Dear Ma'am Evelyn Vera Cruz,                Teaching is not only about discussing about how Internet works, it's about how you give impact and change your student's lives. Before I begin this simple letter for you, I would like to greet you a Wonderful and Joyful Teacher's Day!                Information Communications Technology is one of the subjects that I am not interested. Over the past few years, my grades in ICT is low and that's why I don't really like the subject that much. In the first week of class, you showed me the bright side of the subject you are teaching. Formerly, I usually don't review if there are upcoming quizzes but you fueled me to strive harder and be diligent with my studies. I was then possessed with laziness but because of you constantly reminding us that we should focus and exert more effort for our future, I decided to dismiss my previous actions, behavior, and attitude. I will f...

Voyager 1: Another Journey

     Starting another year, beginning another quest in life, that's my own definition of a new year. The past year has been better than 2020, a lot of challenges come on my way but I have paved the way to where I am now. The year 2022 has officially ended, but like the old saying says "He who does not look before him will never reach his destination", at the beginning of this year I will look back at my flaws and achievements. By just looking back at it, you will not reach the destination you want, effort and perseverance to improve day by day will keep you moving. But the real question for improving is, do you have the guts to do it?      For the past few years, I have always wanted change, not only for myself but also for others. Everyone is hungry for change and improvement, but not everyone is willing and possesses the courage to take a step toward it. Last year, I am a coward, one of the people that didn't take a step, but my resolution this year is to...
