You're My Flashlight
At the moment, I am listening to "Flashlight" by Jessie J. The lyrics tells what I feel now:
Flashlight
by: Jessie J
When tomorrow comes, I'll be on my own.Feeling frightened of, The things that I don't know. When tomorrow comes, tomorrow comes, tomorrow comes.
And though the road is longI look up to the sky.And in the dark I found, lost hope I won't fly.And I sing along, I sing along, and I sing a long.
I got all I need when I got you and I I look around me and see a sweet life.I am stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight.
You're getting me, getting me through the night.
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes.
Can't lie, it's a sweet life.
stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight.
You're getting me, getting me through the night.

When I listen to this song, I remembered my dad. I was closed to him when he was alive. He was my light that guided me through the darkness. He was my solid anchor when I was young. Of course, he's not perfect. He was considered as a failure for his family since he was the only one among siblings that couldn't support his family well. He was considered as a failure husband for my mum when he couldn't fulfill his duty and made my mum working to earn money for family. He was a failure to society since he failed to leave any legacy. However, he's a perfect father for me.
He might not be rich man, but he has taught me to have grateful heart. He always said, "As long as there's food and roof above you, you should be grateful." He taught me for not comparing myself to others and just be myself. He gave me freedom to choose with all its consequences. I really appreciated what my dad had taught me. He taught me for never giving up and being grateful of what I have for now. He might not leave any legacy to the world, but he left his lessons to me. And... I loved him dearly for that.
The future is indeed uncertain. Even the certain becomes uncertain when something has hit the comfort zone. The ordinary life has been interrupted and all the plans that carefully and wonderfully arranged, destroyed in a night. One mistake destroys everything. It's like a domino effect that strikes your life. It changes everything.
One small mistake, called pride, can destroy a careful planning when it caused you losing a job. The same pride would also hinder you to be what you are supposed to be. My spouse lost his job several months ago therefore, I had to cover up all the bills and expenses. Sometimes it has made me mad since it drains me to work from 7 - 4 then I have to give tutorial sessions to earn more money. I end up exhausted from Monday to Friday. And when I make home and see the house messed up, I just turned blind eyes.
However, still I am really grateful of God's blessing. I have got more trust at work and some tutorial works lining up. Well.. It's exhausting. But I believe I have got enough strength to overcome everything. That hope becomes my flashlight. My guidance in the dark.
As my dad said,"You must find the silver lining in very dark cloud." I try to find my silver lining and keep my hope for having enough strength to overcome everything. And in everything, I learn to give thanks to God. And GOD is my ultimate flashlight in my life that always guides me through darkness.
