Beauty in chaos | A Hopeful Story

It's been two weeks since our city was placed under enhanced community quarantine. Two weeks seems like a year of not going out. Honestly, I'm bored. Though I'm working from home, plus, I have social media and watch movies on Netflix, and sometimes, sing (thanks to YouTube, they have instrumental music videos and my wireless microphone -- they're saving me from total boredom), still, I'm a little bored. Maybe because it's been two of not going out of the house? Hmm... I think so. I honestly don't hate the concept of boredom. At some point, I love doing nothing. What I hate about boredom is the fact that I am an overthinker -- I overthink most of the time especially when I am... guess what? YES! Bored! Sometimes, it makes me think that maybe I was meant to be in this world just to overthink.

But this worrier person over here sometimes can produce a song or a poem. Doing poems and songs is my sweet escape from being weird. Wanna see a sample? I'll let you have it :)

"As the sun is on its great sleep,

you will see the black dark sky

As the night goes really deep,

you wish you want to fly so high

Night is not dark as you thought

Dark is not black as you see

Gray is not blurred as it could

Blurriness is not bad as it can be"

This is only a peek at a poem I made with the title, "Sunset".

If you are wondering or maybe asking if I love the sunset. The answer is 100% YES. I do love the sunset. Like, who will not fall in love with that beauty? How majestic, wonderful, amazing, awesome, great -- all beautiful words perfectly fit how to describe a sunset.

I love how the sunset perfectly fits the edge of the world, creating a very wonderful color in the sky and giving us a reason to think about how beautiful the world is. Imagine how lucky are we to witness this beauty every single day. I'm beyond grateful that I see this every day and I'm so glad to share with all of you, my readers, how deeply in love I am with the sunset. Truly it is a gift -- a great present from the One who made us all. Not only a gift that we can see but also a gift and an everyday reminder to think that there's always beauty in every end.

I am fully aware of what is happening around the world. This virus caused a mess in every part of the world, a thing that brought us fear, a problem that made us think of how should we solve it, and a trauma that will remain forever in our heads. Some blame certain people, some think that this is just a challenge that the world is now facing, and some think that this is our "karma". For two weeks of being a house person, I saw a lot of opinions, sides, theories, and other statements regarding this problem that we're facing right now.

I'm not going to state them here one by one since that will take maybe more than a day of me typing. Allow me to give these links for reference:

With that being said, I, of course, overthink a lot these past few days about this virus issue. There are a lot of "what if" going on inside my mind. But one thing is kinda standing out from the rest. And the question is... "What if the world is doing its way to heal?". It's kind of weird, right? But I find this thing interesting. Well, honestly I'm a fan of conspiracy theories but I'm also pretty sure that there's always an explanation for everything -- bizarre or weird or real, there's always explanation.

After I gathered almost all of the opinions, sides, and views, reading some articles and news, I ended up having only one thing on my mind and my conclusion list. I'm not going to overstep here because I respect everyone's opinions and beliefs. But this is for me, my personal opinion. I think we need to pray.

I know that there is a scientific reason why is this happening to us. But the thing is, I do believe that we have God and Jesus Christ. We need to pray, repent, and ask for help, guidance, and safety. We have to remember that there are no problems bigger than the one who made us, bigger than the one who sacrificed Himself for us. All of this will come to an end because we will make it -- together with God and Jesus Christ.

As you can see, everything in this world is like a day in our lives. Just like sunset, all things will come to an end -- but before the end, we have to realize how important it is to survive in a day. Remind yourself of all the things that made you realize how blessed you are that you're still here, fighting and living your life. The problem that we are facing right now will soon come to an end. This virus killed a lot of people. Brought us fear and made us stay in our homes for a while. This thing made us realize that it's not too late to help one another, to show love to each other, to give care and show our concern to everyone, the caused all the problems but gave us a reason to be with our family, to appreciate little things and the reason why we are now unified.. is maybe.. a beautiful chaos.

Thank you for reading! Keep exploring! :)
