It is only by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure. The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.

~Joseph Campbell

Oftentimes, I find myself at the crossroads, always sure of where to go but uncertain to which road I am going to take. I never regret the paths that I choose to lead for I know that somehow I was meant to be there, even though many times I had to endure the consequences of the mistakes I made. I know I had to be strong, even when things go wrong because I was meant to learn something for every happening in my life.

There were also times that I find myself at the darkest part of my life, the times that I thought I would never recover and yes, there were a lot of times that I almost gave up but while watching Dark Knight, I remembered these lines “the darkest hour is just before dawn and believe me, the dawn is drawing near” (or something like that) I would like to believe that I don’t need the dawn to see the light for I may be at the abyss of my life right now but the abyss is where you can find one of the ocean’s finest treasure and though, I have not found my treasure yet but the thought of what lies ahead is more than enough for me to go on.
