Change

The Song Best Listened To While Reading This: Drive Me by Najwajean

Friends, I'm not saying that the people that have gone before us are not doing their jobs, they ARE doing it. Through that hard work, through their realization they also passed them down to us, so we can have a better future, it's an act of love from our parents, I believe. So, I dedicate this post to them, all of those people who go home from overtime, those who are persevering, and continuing to hope.

There's this lyrics on a song called Drive Me which I get triggered by the most, but I listen to the song because it soothes my morning mood and it makes me think.

"I cannot continue by myself, you cannot continue on your own."

It somehow co-relates with the talk I just had with my mom about life, in our country, in our school and something as simple as our house. She said, "children are the new driving force of the Philippines". Come to think of it, not only the Philippines, children AROUND THE WORLD have to step up, not only us, but in terms of our country, we're really it. The future, the change. And as one world, we can inspire each other towards prosperity and peace. Change comes from you, me, everyone

"This is how I feel, this is what I need, and I want your love, and I need your heart."

How you might ask?

Yes, how?

How.

There's this one other thing that mom said, it inspired me to do more things, to hope, and to finally make a difference by those small things.

"Big decisions, big jobs, big changes always start from small decisions, jobs and changes."

We indeed have to start small first. We have to realize that we cannot get results instantly, but we have to sacrifice ( I now get the definition of work ) and to do things that's better not only for your future, not only mine, but for all of us. We can always start by making good decisions, as we all know, man has the capacity to know right from wrong. In a larger scale, we can't avoid these bad situations from happening. That's one of the reasons why we're human, but being human can have a benefit. Learning. ( Yes, learning ) Learning to be more competent, civilized, faithful, perseverance. Our solutions come from that learning, our ideas, and our hard work especially. I think some of us have had that feeling of "yeah im doing this damn work but what's it for?".

It also needs to be noticed, that keeps us living everyday, afterall.
We'll eventually realize what we're working for.
That gives us the hope to strive for something we really what.

I leave you with this question, dear reader.

"Why not start now?"

*dances* twist me after the beginning I'm twisted!

Anyway; going to the point, I fully agree with what you just have posted.

The only thing the youth needs to do now is to open their eyes and actually see what's happening in the world.
