A Dream Turned Reality

The past few days went great and I never felt any happier in my entire life. What marks the smile on my face at the moment is the memories worth reminiscing; those that either strengthen my emotional or intellectual capability or even both. I am happy to have established something far better than the best of the failed relationships I had before.

The mere thought that the relationship doesn't just involve mere love is something that is not common in every relationship. The way I see it, the relationship gives the two of us the opportunity to grow emotionally, intellectually and even spiritually. Arguments normally arise in every relationship and I do not discount the fact that we have our own fair share at times but what makes ours different is the fact that we argue to make each other better persons. I feel thankful that we haven't and hopefully will not reach the point of hurting each other enough yet and I believe it has something to do with our relationship's security.

The sense of security lessens the chances of jealousy and conflicts about third parties and I am happy to have met a person whom I can trust so much. The assurance that the our love will remain as radiant as the morning sun every time we wake up is a first in my case. The constant awakening to reality is sometimes painfully done but I acknowledge the fact that it is thrown at each other constructively; something I find ironically romantic.

Romance became another word the moment I met my new love. The word became more significant and it's impact to me became a tad higher. Every kiss, hug and moment spent together seemed as if we were isolated somewhere far from the world's complicated side. It is funny and considerably corny to say that it feels like being in cloud nine. Being certain that more happy moments are yet to come, I no longer worry much about keeping the fire in our relationship burning. It is something that makes me undeniably proud.

I've never been so proud of my significant other as much as I do now. Perhaps it may not sound humble to say this but the thought that we belong to the same boat with the same cup of tea gives me the feeling that we have the right to be proud of achievements we have attained. I have never said this before and you shouldn't be surprised why. Years back, I was "nobody" in the society but, even though I may still be in that state, this time I am assured that I have a lot of things that common people are not gifted with. I recently realized that life shouldn't stop the moment you have fulfilled your dreams because as long as we exist, we are OUGHT to keep dreaming. But it is not just enough to dream, I suppose, because we do not dream just for the sake of it. I believe it is there for a purpose and that sole purpose is to motivate us to make that dream a realization.

I once dreamed of being in a relationship that I can surely be proud of but never did I expect it to come. Now, without any hesitation, I am glad to say that I

have finally fulfilled that dream.

Dissecting O.B.T.

What motivated me to start this blog was the need for an avenue for self-expression. Since then, writing has become one of the many ways to vent out my feelings and emotions. One Big Turn can be interpreted in many ways but it's primarily an assessment of my life's major turning points that aim to illustrate the changes I encounter in my day to day life. It doesn't just stop there, O.B.T. is an adventurous ride I'm engaged with; a ride that may bring about numerous life-changing scenarios that can either take me to a bright or dark path. O.B.T. shall be my online journal of just about anything that comes in mind.

The thrill of not knowing what's next in my journey is something that reflects this site's personality—unpredictability. Oftentimes I love being mysterious

and I feel delight especially when people get to think real hard just to come up with satisfactory conclusions about me. O.B.T. is no different, I see a great possibility of mystery in the hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of posts that lie ahead.

Life's a long, complicated trip. If you know how to ride, come with me and join me as I explore the complex world we're in. Let's then see what happens next...

Incomplete

I sat near my window taking a glance at the pale moon light

Staring ’till I forgot about the flight

I ended up seeing myself teary-eyed

Reminiscing the times when you were by my side

I never thought things would go this way

Our destiny sets both of us away

As I counted the remaining days

I ended up out of pace

I don’t know whom to blame

But i guess it’s all the same

Soon a part of me will be missing

And i’ll just end up reminiscing

Soon my life will no longer be the same again

I’ll no longer have a reason to smile by then

I know it will soon be goodbye

And all I can do is sigh

I’ll soon be obsolete

Because without you I’m incomplete

My Simple Fairy Tale

After years of hoping, wishing and waiting comes this moment I’m finally certain with. A chapter that will, finally, serve as an avenue for me to prove my worth and prove that I’m no longer taking the wrong path again. I do not expect to be the best of who I can be in a snap of a finger but what I can say at this point is I’m on my way there. I’m betting so much on this; so much that I’d do everything to keep this running smooth, unlike what I had in my past. It’s the first time for me to feel this good. Perhaps, also the first time for me to feel so secured and at the same time assured that the right person has come. I remember telling myself not to search for love and just let it knock on my door whenever the right time comes. I did, kept my patience and yes, my entire waiting paid off. It came to me in a shock that the two of us share a lot in common, from skills to interest, from personality to maturity and more that we are yet to decipher.

Realizing things about me that I’ve never noticed before was fun. I like the part when I was told that I talk a lot, because it never came into me before or maybe I was just so passive about it. Our past days spent together only meant a thing: that we meet at a common point. This relationship, I believe, is unlike any of my past relationships. We usually talk about matters that I later found as sensible ones, find joy in each other’s arms, and get contented with who we are in general. Trusting each other this much also added an assurance that we’re building a foundation strong enough to survive even the worst earthquake that the world may not have encountered yet.

If my past encounters didn’t turn out well, I’ll see to it that it will be the exact opposite this time. Now, I can safely say I’m in love; so safe that I’m not even bothered about a single thing yet. This doesn’t mean that ours is a perfect relationship because there isn’t anything like it at all, but we’d like to settle with the fact that this is far more ideal than our past encounters and because of that, we are so grateful to have found each other.

I may have lost a lot of material possessions but something greater than any of those possessions suddenly came into the scene and took center stage. I may have opted to turn down some of the very tempting opportunities but this time I cannot afford to turn down the rare opportunity to feel the happiness and the genuineness that I have long been deprived of. I just found a crying shoulder, constant supporter and a romantic lover; someone part of the minority who possess such qualities and somebody I’d be really proud of. I do not mind the constant slap of reality on my face because I know it’s exactly the field I’m often feeble in.

Because I have it now, I won’t let a day pass unhappy, unsettled and uncounted. I’ll love the best way I can, the way I know and the way I feel inside.
