I asked my friend to describe me as a person. As strange as it is, I was compared to a bamboo. With confusion, I ask why. Was it because I'm tall and skinny?

She then explained that I’m like a bamboo because no matter what nature throws its way, I dare to stand strong with a positive attitude. My ability to bend and not be broken from different challenges in life amazes her. Well, I just smiled because she knows a snippet of my life. 

Personally, I remember how many times I cried, depressed and frightened with what tomorrow holds. It's easy to get discouraged but just as a bamboo, it pays to bend and be flexible. 

So when you’re thrown into a very confusing situation like the strong violent breeze, know that it’ll just give you a lesson to learn the hard way. Continue to hold on, have faith and trust that everything will just be perfectly fine.

Better to Bend than to Break
