Stuck?

Have you ever felt stuck?

Stuck in a moment you can't get out of? Hoping later would be better?
Or worse...stuck in a relationship you can't get out of? Confused if by tomorrow this should be over?

Have you ever driven and joined a convoy? Where you can't move any faster than the slowest vehicle in the line?

What if the slowest vehicle in the line is your partner? Do you slow down or pick up speed? What if you don't know where you're going or which direction to take? Would you keep at your partner's speed and harm the whole convoy?

Have you ever got stuck in that kind of relationship? Where your partner lags behind? And doesn’t want to grow, doesn’t want to work at your relationship, and doesn’t want to resolve the issues that have come between the two of you. He controls the speed, but would you shift gears and speed up? Maybe...if it were that simple and easy.

But whether you like it or not... whether by circumstance or by choice, we do get stuck sometimes.
And worse is, at a certain point, it feels...damn if you do, damn if you don't!

i like this isyu 101... stirred memories...

there were two phases in my life when i actually felt stuck... teka... not naman really stuck... more like, i feared i might be stuck...

there was a time i felt i will be stuck with vince.. . even after our break-up, got scared that with the natural on-and-off thing and with our sustained friendship, natakot ako na baka, in the end, sa kanya pa rin ako.... it was an issue to me...

and the worst was when i felt i'm stuck with my feelings for karl... have you read my "looking back" and "even superheroes die" entry in february" you'd understand what i mean...

but then of course, that was only 'the moment' then... insecurity issues i suppose...

but the moment i accepted it was over, it was also the moment i naturally moved on... the feelings was still there... maybe even up to now... but the thing is, i have learned to live my choices beyond it...

paige, at some point in our lives, we really fall into a convoy.... the person in front of us or the partner who should be leading the way WITH us tends to move at a turtle's pace... yes, we stay with them... we level... we stride side by side... but if that starts to lag your life and your emotional growth, WE OVERTAKE... you are allowed to do so... and with that, bear in mind that you dont harm the convoy... BUT if you dont overtake, you harm yourself instead.

page why do cars overtake in traffick? even when it's discouraged by law, some still do... it is because they want to be somewhere at a given time... and even when most don't agree, at the end of the day, if you're late for work, you can't blame the damn slow pace of traffick...

WE FIND A WAY TO BRING OURSELVES TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE AT THE TIME WE WANT TO BE THERE.

but all these, at a time we are emotionally ready...

ah eh hello prue... nag-enjoy sa pagcomment? hahaha! this is i think my longest response ever...

and my fave so far! thanks prue!
i know i'll get to where i want to be, at my own pace...at my own time. no one to blame but me. because as you guys always tell me, i always have a choice! and i choose to be stuck for now, and earn my rewards later. false hope? na-ah! i just have BiG faith in God's intervention!
