The Ballad of Blue

Chapter Two.

Page 56 of 365.

The Ballad of Blue.


Once upon a time,

like all the greatest love stories always start,

there was Blue.


Blue was just an ordinary character, that was what he always thought.

He was not the richest, or the smartest, or the most good looking.

He was just plain ordinary.


He had to work his ass off to be recognized.

He tried his best to be number 1 but he barely made it.

He always ended up as number 2.

And, like we always know, no one remembers number 2.


So, because he was a good character,

Blue started to accept the truth: that he wasn't good enough.

He just lived his life ordinarily.


Until Blue met Red.


Red was also a good character, that was Red always thought.

And Blue agreed with it.


Red introduced Blue to a world of possibilities,

a world where Blue could be anything that he wanted to.

Blue was happy because Red was a friend, a good one.


Blue always looked Red as a great friend, at the beginning.

But slowly, the feeling grew.

Blue felt the ticklish feeling whenever Red talked.

And he loved it.


Unfortunately, Red knew it.

Red knew that Blue had that feeling.

So, Red went away.


Left Blue alone.

With the ballad on his heart.

I Remember

Chapter Two.

I Remember.


I remember it.

It was a fine Friday afternoon and i was on a trip to somewhere.

I don't know how on earth i get the courage to say hello to you at that time.

But i'm happy i did.


I remember it.

The ticklingish feeling on my stomach the days after.

Everytime we talked about random stuffs, about anything, it felt like i finally found a friend.

The real one who understands me, the real one who doesn't judge.


I remember it.

How i was getting nervous as time goes by.

The happy smile turned into a shy blush whenever we talked.

I was happy. Way too happy.


I remember it.

How i was starting to be out of line.

Slowly, you changed because you said i was the one who changed first.

I hated, and still hate, myself for it.


I remember it.

It was a fine Friday afternoon and i was on a trip to somewhere.

I don't know how on earth i could make you so angry at that time.

And i really regret it.


I remember it.

The way i should have forgotten about it.

MOM = My Outstanding Motivator.


Everyone loves their mom.

And i really love mine.


My mom is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Her face always stops me from lying.

It's impossible not to tell the truth to that lively stare.

Her smile always reminds me of all the possibilities of what i could become.

It's impossible to give up when i see that smile.


My mom is the strongest person in the world.

Never been a day spent with a complaint from her mouth.

No matter how tired she is, she always makes time to ask how my day was.

Never been a day spent with a pain on her face.

And even when it's not, she tells me everything is okay.


My mom is the most faithful person ever lived.

A daily devotion is what always starts her day.

Even when she's running late, she knows her prioritize.

A prayer for me is what she always whispers every night.

Even when i hurt her, she always remembers me in her prayer.


My mom is the cleverest person ever existed.

She knows whenever i'm down or just feeling blue.

And she knows what is the best way to cheer me up.

She always knows what to do.

She just does.


My mom..

Means everything to me.


I know i made mistakes.

I know i hurt you.

But i know, too,

no matter what happens

that you will always be my greatest supporter.


No, mom.

You are always gonna be my greatest motivator.

To be what i want to be.

To get what i always want to get.

To make you proud of me.

To put a smile on your face.


For everything,

thanks, Mom.

Uncertainty.

Chapter Two.

Page 33 of 365.

Uncertainty.


Where you are now,

is the safest place to be.

You can't  go back to the past,

it has gone.

And you're just too afraid about the future,

the uncertainty gets your nerve.


Uncertainty,

is the only thing that is certain in life.


Standing still doesn't make things go better.

Actually, it has its own risk.

You may thing that you're in the status quo.

But your surroundings are not.

The uncertainty is just as sure as the sun sets in west.


You want to take the first step.

But you're just too scared.

You can't see the whole staircase.

It's too dark to see where it'll end.

So, you're just standing there.


Uncertainty is your best friend.

Get used to it.

Life always has its own way to spice things up.

When you think you're in control,

in a blink of an eye, you're not.


The only thing that is certain in life is uncertainty, remember?


So, the only way to win is to fight back.

Surprise life before it hits you.

Give it what it never thought it would received from you.

The winner in life is the one who has the ability to surprise life more than it surprises him.


You can be more uncertain than life while keeping your feet on the ground.

Be contemporary but don't compromise with your value.

Tolerate people but don't tolerate wrong values.

Forgive mistakes but learn from them.

Move on and start giving life surprises by being uncertain.

It's fun.

New Friend Request

Chapter Two.

Page 32 of 365.

New Friend Request.


Hello, there.

How are you?

I'm good, too.

Hey, you know what? I've been seeing you for a while now.

And i think that you're amazing and kind and just funny.


You always look so lively.

You always bring some laughter to others.

You are a good listener, i saw your friends often came to you and asking for a pep talk.

Instead of giving one, you was just being there and i saw that it helped them more than a pep talk.


You also are very talented.

I heard you sing and your voice was just amazing.

Put on some extra confidence there, i know you can do it.

And your poems and writings are just honest and witty.

Oh, and you keep on maintaining a 3,65 GPA so far?

That's a talent.


I always want to be your friend.

Not because you're good, but because you are just you.

You have weaknesses but you aren't ashamed of them.

I wish you could be more confident of yourself.

I wish you could stop hearing what the haters say.

Haters gonna hate, though.


Someday, maybe we could have a time to just hang out together and talk.

About anything.

About life.

About love.

About your wishes and dreams.

It would be great to share all my secrets with you.


So, i write this to make you realize that there will always be one who cares for you.

When your company disappoints you, when others make you feel bad.

Come to me and we could always talk as a friend.


Sincerely,

Your new friend.

Yourself.
