Janus’12 – Jogging to the future!!!
Posted on: January 31, 2012
Si vis amari ama - If you wish to be loved, love
The song for this blog will be “Eden” by Kalafina because it gives such an uplifting mood:

I just started jogging everyday about 3 months ago. I feel great after jogging and exercise in the morning after I woke up. Whenever I jog, I feel very fresh alive. I have this habit thanks to a friend I met recently. As I jog along the road I see several things…
…I jog pass a growing tree…
I feel Life in each vessels of the tree, in each leaf and each branch of it. Everything in this Earth is so beautiful and the sunlight is magnificent through all the trees and shines through the blue sky. This world is full of Life at this very moment, there is nothing that can prevent Life from pouring out from each tiny cracks of this vast world. Therefore, there no reason for me to be sad or down because I see Life everyone, it’s happiness, it’s sunlight!!!
… I don’t want to be down or sad anymore!
…I jog pass a park full of sunlight…
I walked slowly into the park and enjoy the scenery. It is so beautiful here as well. There are several birds on the ground hunting for food. Everything is very peaceful here, just like heaven! Although the park is right next to the street, but being in it is like in another world, you can breath the fresh air and feel the golden sunlight shining through every single corner of your soul… How can you be depressed in such a scene? I came here everyday for my jog and I love it here because only being in this park, I can hear my heart calling for me, I can hear myself thinking out loud. Me and only me in this park…
… I will never be depressed anymore… I will try to be positive!
…I jog pass a crazy woman…
The woman is infamous in this area. She usually goes on the bus without paying fee for the trip and the driver knows she has mental problem so they let her go for free. Sometimes, in her maniac periods, she used to run on the pavement, then out into the street and spit into every single car that passes by. Normal people will just think she was a crazy woman. But has anyone every thought about WHY did she turns crazy in such a weird way? Maybe… maybe… she had a child and her child was lost in a car accident that then turns her maniac and that is the reason in her madness, she hates car so much…? Each individual, no matters how crazy they are, has their own story behind…
… I will never misjudge people anymore… I will try to talk less and listen more…
… I jog pass an elderly couple…
They are holding hands together and walking slowly on the pavement. The scene brought tears to my eyes… I thought of Love, just a simple word but how many people actually believe in it and how many people actually knows that they had had true Love? How many people, who claimed that they had been in Love, actually BEEN in Love? Seeing this couple, I thought to myself “This IS Love”! They can actually hold hands and feel happy with each other side by side until this age, this can’t be wrong! I remember again a line from a song “It is ok to be together until both of us becomes stars”. Never think about the end when you start a relationship! Never! Let it flow naturally. I feel sorry for people who have stopped believing in Love after a few failures in relationship. You will never find it if you don’t believe in it…
… I promise to myself, from this moment on, I will always believe in Love, no matter how much failure I will meet!
… I jog pass a couple walking their baby trolley…
I suddenly think about family. I want a family myself. I don’t know if that will happen or not. I want someone to walk with like that, until the end of the road. Will I find that someone? I don’t know. They say that Love will come when you don’t look for it. So don’t attempt. Just know you’re worth something in this Life and you deserve someone good.
… I will stop looking for Love and live happily until Life decides to give me it!
… I jog pass a street named “Hope”…
“Hope St” – says the name badge on the pole. I jog pass this street everyday, but I will jog down it one day and see how I feel. I like little amusing things in Life. I like to imagine this street is actually more special than the other streets and people living on this street are nicer, positive and polite. That’s all my imagination of course! When living, we always need Hope right? In everything we do, because Hope is what makes us keep trying without giving up. Hope is not easily to have, but once you grab a hold of it, you will be much stronger than you could imagine!
… I will always try to find Hope every time I fail, because I am NGUB!
… I jog pass a house full of sunflowers…
The sunflowers are all around the yard and they’re all tall and in full bloom. It is a nice small house pained pink and light green. Each flower is like little Sun rising up from the fence and I suddenly remember those houses in some children cartoon I saw when I was small. People in this house must be very happy I like to think, because they got so many Suns in their front yard. How could you be sad in such a scene? When you actually observe, you can see very small things in Life that make you smile and feel uplifting when you are down. That’s why I like my jog!
… I will always try to find the beauty in this Life and smile every day…
… I jog pass a homeless person on the street…
He was just sitting face down in the corner of a street when I jog pass him everyday. Sometimes I see him lying sleeping. I suddenly feel so much lucky with my Life. I might not have all the things I wish for, but at least I have all the basic things that hundreds of others wish for! I have a house to come back every day, I have a bed to sleep in with warm blanket, I have a family to support me and stand behind me, I have good friends who I can call almost anytime to rave on my depression… I have everything I need! That homeless person might just wish for a slice of bread right now! I’ve known friend who went to supermarket, straight to the “Reduce section” and buy cheap products that nearly expire just to save money. I’ve known people who rather walk a few more hundreds metres to save a single dollar. Life is hard! Don’t estimate it, you can have money and house one moment. The next minute you can lose everything, have to pay for rent, saving dollar by dollar to survive!
… I will start saving money and be absolutely happy with everything I have at this moment on!
… I jog pass a grass field…
I run faster… faster and faster…! I feel like I can become the wind and see the magnificent scene of waves of grass under the wind and sunlight. The Wind of Life is actually blowing towards me, rushing through my vessels. Mom and Dad have given me this perfect body, what I should do is treasure it, make it healthy and beautiful!
… I will keep my healthy habit of jogging as long as I could and treat my body with respect from now on!
…I keep on jogging… jogging…
… The sunlight still shining towards me…
There’s nothing to fear
There’s nothing to be sad about
… You know what is the most amazing fact about Life?
That is even when you lose something that you think it’s so important to you, at the end of the day, when you look back, it’s only the same with when you haven’t had it!
And Life never let you rest… no matter what you do or think… you’d better do your best and all you can do is try your best to help other people!
… Because…
…You’re still in this jog towards the future, my friend!
…BE STRONG!
