聞くは一時の恥聞かぬは一生




(kiku wa ittoki no haji, kikanu wa isshou no haji)

Shikata ga nai

 

 

Leviticus 19:28

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁸ You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.

Honesty.

And so. I haven't been the most conscientious worker, I'm far from being the best son, the best person .. . and I am so afraid that the person I become would be too ashamed to face the person I could have become.

Deadlines, commitments, responsibilities. What's new. The only person who's freaking out is the one who has taken too deep a slumber. That sounds. Like me!

The solution is simple. Count my blessings. Give thanks to grace given. Work hard. Hopefully extensions may be bestowed. Stay on track. Come what may. After all, I have to get going somewhere, vagabond shoes or not, and somewhere beats nowhere.


These weeks I've been flexing my mental muscles. I wouldn't say it has been the best days of my life but hey. I'm going somewhere. More exercises. Studies and thinking. Preparations for the next phase. I would like to look forward to the next change in life. I should. I have to.

Remember that there is something good out of everything. Stay brave.


Time may not change things. But change needs time.
