Blank Spaces

There are some moments in one's life that she feels that the whole world is against her. All the negative forces seem to surround her entire being...pitch dark hole swallowing her whole. Desperation is actually trying to engulf her. When this happens, empty spaces fill in the whole scenario that might somehow worsen things and blow everything out of proportion.
Yet no matter how absurd life is; there is always a power of choice as to whether one chooses to be defeated by one's own battle within herself or try to channel out and turn things to positive outlook. Just like the blank spaces in one's life, it is a choice whatever you want to put on it.
Sometimes, an emptiness can be filled with good memories you share with special people. Why choose to be sad when there are so many reasons to be happy? Why choose to feel unblessed when in fact when you just open your eyes, there are so many things that you should thank for? Why choose to be a victim when you know that this too shall pass and there is always a chance to get back and rise from all the troubles you have?
When one only tries to look around and take a deep breath, there are never blank nor empty spaces to look at. When one does commit mistakes, she or he can take it as a chance to make things right. Things happen because there are deep-set purpose that lie within. One has to look harder and understand deeper.
Think about that the choices we make no matter how they turned to be in the end have been defining ourselves to be be better or worse. We may feel alone at times but we do some times need it to reflect and find out where we are at best...or worst. We just cannot let negativity pin us down. Blank spaces may be taken as a chance for us to paint whatever color we want to paint it. Each one of us experience the saddest and the happiest point in our lives. When we are at the state of happiness, we look at the world in the most positive perspective but when we are at our lowest, we easily forget how life has been good to us because we choose to see the dark side of life instead of the brighter ones. We feel so blinded by stress, desperation, frustration and the feeling of unappreciated. We feel numb all over...blank spaces try to fill in the shallow part of what is supposed to be a challenge for turning the tables around. Why choose black or white when we can certainly paint a rainbow of colors into it?
Yes, there are also things beyond our control, things we cannot change because there are what we call human limitations over everything. However, our choice to change the way we see things is boundless! It only takes time to realize this but this is worth waiting to be seen.

A really inspirational and beautiful post.
Yeah. No matter what circumstances or people bring to you, you do have a choice to react either positively or negatively. Reacting positively and taking everything towards brighter side will help you to lead a much hapoier,peaceful and contented life. But reacting negatively will take you into a tunnel of never ending depression.
We have a choice to feel the way we want to.
