Dear journal,
I cried bucket of tears this morning while I was watching the season finale of the series Brothers and Sisters. At the end of the episode, this line was mentioned:

"It is never too late to be what you might have been..."
I have this conviction from a long time ago that everyone is destined to be great. In my mind, when the world was created, the Divine Painter did not create anything mediocre, for everybody was made in His likeness and He knows that equality should reign among all His creations. I bet there was even a time when the ants, the elephant, and the dinosaurs, no matter how different they were in their sizes, were all equal. But somewhere along the history of mankind, some people doubted their own abiliy, stopped in the middle, and just ceased dreaming. Though their fate was already written for them, they weren't able to fulfill the master plan; they were like an incomplete song with missing notes and melody in the end.
And then the story continues...
I have known people in the past who have ended their journey early, for fear of the requisites of the world. Though they wanted to pursue something bigger than what they already have, hindrances come and block them, which leave them crippled. Some quit because the english exam was tough and unforgiving, while others were worn out of the never-ending requirements for this and that. Some have failed and did not try again, while some didn't even bother trying. Yes, they have big dreams, but the problem is, they feel so small to reach them.
Just recently, I decided to pursue a bigger plan. There's nothing concrete and solid about it. There's no assurance, too. But I know, and I can feel it, that it's meant for me. I may be jumping out of a ship into the sea of uncertainty, but there's no backing out now. I just don't want any regrets if ever I don't heed the call. Might-have-beens are the worst nightmare anyone can have.
This is not an easy world to live in, even some fish has to travel from one ocean to another just to survive harsh winters. This is indeed a demanding world. But in the words of Lady Gaga, we are all born superstars, so we just have to prove our worth. We have to believe in what we can do, and trust that we can do more. If there are opportunities, we grab them; if there are none, we make them happen. At the end of the day, we will go back to the line that was uttered by Nora Walker: It is really never too late to be what you might have been.
Remember, lightning could strike anytime...
