...Because I'm neither dumb or blind

I used to think that my life was a big ship adventure where I rode and just follow the wave . Life was a bungee-jumping game where you could just close your eyes, jump, and when you fall, there would be a rope tied to your leg that prevents you from crushing on the hard ground. Life was a lullaby in the cotton cloud where you would be caught in case you fell. And life was a big of unknown dreams where you could shape it the way you wanted.

I could have decided to just jump to the ocean when I thought I have stood too close to the brink of my ship, and there would be no way back. I could have let a shark ripped my soul to pieces in that dark water, and they would have been floating away lonely and miserable. I could have decided to let the rope in my leg tightly loose, just for the sake of its thrill. I could have let my head brushed against the hard ground just to see if I could duck right on time. It just take a little push of an index finger, since I'm just a human whose mind is fragile to temptation. There were a lot of others who have let themselves free and screaming out loud, asking me to also be there.

But I was created with two eyes to see, two ears to hear, a heart to listen, and wisdom to think. All I need to do is just stop for a while, set my eyes and ears open, and take a look around for I will see the little paths and step holders that I fail to see in my rush. All I need to do is open my heart to the voice of Doubt, for doubt means that wisdom is guiding me to see the light I fail to see when I blindly walk. There will be times when I fall, but it´s alright because I know I could still turn back. For I´m neither dumb or blind...
