Focus.
Now is the time for focus.
Remember why you started.
Keep a tight grip,
and clear your vision.

Pace
All of the mistakes taught you a lesson.
They are your only teachers.
Create your own pace,
and believe in it.
The weight of the creation is only yours to bear.
Remember your promises.
Keep going forward.

Consistent
Memory is sticky.
It stays with you even when you thought you have outrun it.
In the moments of torrential rain
or de-moisturizing heat of the blazing sun,
it will stay with you.
So I wrote it a letter,
explaining why I had to move forward.
I explained that thanks to the memories,
those that shined brightly,
and those that hurt the most,
I now know where to go.
So the memory listened and remembered what I said.

Cleaning
Like a film of dusts layering on a desk
on a summer afternoon,
before you notice what has happened,
your hands are darkened with smears.
So you must clean,
a ritual after a ritual,
to renew yourself as you move forward.

Legacy
Yes, there’s politics and all that.
But focus on what matters in the core.
Humility, diligence, and honesty.
Be responsible for yourself.
Know what you want, what you need, and what you can do.
Keep working at it.
You will get there.

Waiting
Wouldn’t you agree
that there’s a hint of gladness,
in spite of exhaustion,
when that person you waited for arrived?
So is the case with loved ones.
I think.

Genuine
When do you decide to believe a story?
It may be so believable,
but at what point do you take the leap of faith?
What are you willing to risk?
What are you hoping to get from believing?
What kind of past do you have, and what future do you hope for?
It’s time for clarity.

Influence
Just as the crashing waves are powerful,
so are the scent of the spring.
It lures the enigmatic attention
and allows for sequence of events to blossom.
What influence do you have?
Ponder upon it.

Prudence
May I not commit the same mistake.
Allow me to find the truth,
Instill in me the will to strive for betterment
and remember what is the right way of living.
Allow me to learn and open my eyes.

Worth
Was it worth it?
Fuck yeah.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
It was awesome.
