Dear Comrades
Dear Comrades,
They never told us life out here would try to kill the little joy we had left when we departed from the university. Even if they did, who would have believed? I mean...who amongst us would have thought of anything lesser than a well-paying job...a decent life; free from frustration, and being broke would be a thing of the past. It's been months now; even though every day out here feels like a year going by with nothing to show the world. Some of our colleagues got lucky; some are dead; some have lost the ability to even keep pressing forward. I'll keep it simple by saying, we are blessed to be counted among the living; well, and able to push forward sometimes...although.
We ended our contract with the University just so that we can sign better contracts with the Universe; with so much joy. I could still recall how the majority of us dressed our faces with smiles on that big day, dancing to the beat of that congratulations song. But now, we are left with nothing good to smile about. We have no choice but to shout the 'concern-decoration' song. We are so concerned but we look like decorations; painting smiles of it's okay on our faces. Slowly we cry for better. Often, it feels as though life here runs in reverse.
Sometimes, you feel so dead within; sometimes broken; battered; you even doubt if there is anything called hope. But don't you dare give in to quitting. Don't even think about giving up on me now. Never fall for the idea of letting life beat you to the game. Life has won so many players to the games, and thus plans to win many more, but don't you just sit there and accept the loss, give life a tough day playing with you. The game might sometimes present you like a roasted chicken ready to be consumed. Sometimes, you'd even smell like one, and you'd feel like you've lost all the wins in the game. For once in forever, you need to keep believing in the power of, "I'll keep pushing", even if it's gonna be for one more day. Keep trusting your inner self.
Remember comrades; you conquered those stressful times, remember...remember when you had to wake up early every morning getting yourself ready for endless classes and stay up the whole night studying, just so that you make grades...you had high hopes that someday it will be done and busted. You won! now a certified graduate. Even though you weren't the best, you...
