“Yume”

"When I was a little boy I always thought that life will always be happy. I thought that I can play all the time, and everything is beautiful. But I grew up, and life is not like what I imagined. It's not like a straight road with rainbow and a beautiful view with many happy things around. The truth is life is not like that, sometimes you have to go downhill and went through the dark storm, but sometimes you go up again and went through the rainbow.

Sometimes life is not like we wanted, sometimes the truth is bitter,

sometimes I feel like I grew a flower that can't be bloomed in the dream that can't come true. But we have to accept it. We have to accept the bitter truth; we have to face it. We have to make our dream come true and make the flower bloom. We can't stay in the same place and going nowhere, because it will be pointless. That is life all about, an adventure. We can be happy, we can be sad, it's our choice, life is a choice,

you can just stay and do nothing or move forward, and reach your dream and make your mark. Love yourself, love your family, love your friends, love the one that you love, be grateful and cherish the moment. Like my best friend said, there will always be rainbow after the storm. Sometimes life is bitter, you just have to choose to put a sugar on it.”
