"Physical changed, now or later"
"I was surprised when I know it was him and he has a total changed physically".
-I've met the teacher in college days
Hello dear read users, today I will be sharing my encounter with one of my teacher in college, that I never saw 14 years ago. As I can remember, he is the instructor who handled the criminology students. Actually, he is not familiar with me because I was not on his advisory, I just know him because he is known in our school, for he is responsible in every activity of his students, both inside and outside of their classrooms. He used to have a fierce look, strong person, the way he walked and talked. We never had any conversation before but some of his students are my friends too.
When I saw him today, I can't even recognized that he is our teacher, his body, face and his posture is far from the way he was before. The changed is total, even his voice. So, I chatted my adviser in college, that I saw the teacher in their university, and he told me that the teacher have retired early because of his sickness. He had a stroke that's why it caused his speech, walking and body posture changed. I feel pity when I saw him, his having a long beard, he has a lot of white hair, even his clothing is not properly placed.
I am happy after many years, I saw him, we had a short talk, he asked me what is my recent last name, and who is my husband. He said that there are only three of their batch teachers were left in their school nowadays, some of them are also have an illnesses. I mean, changed really happened to him. and not only with my teacher but it's possible with us too.
I can sight some of the people that I knew before who are beautiful, a man who has masculine body before who is turning into a think, and their looks transition is visible. In reality, everyone of us will undergo the same pace of life, maybe not now, tomorrow or in the next day, but one thing is sure, it will happened. It may vary in any circumstances, it maybe sickness or anything that we can mentioned.It can also be sudden, or a gradual, we may like it or not.
Maybe it was hard for Him that his physical is not the same or even normal in posture, but I'm sure his happy of being alive. That even if had a stroke, but he is able to recover and had his own farm, where he raised live stocks. Yes we do often try to looked beautiful, some may bully others too, because of their physical features, but, in the end, when we aged, we can't just disagree what kind of physical outlook.
"In the end, what matters are those simple or familiar things that we had like"
Life, and alive
More than physical appearance and masculinity and feminity at the end of the day, the most valued aspect is our life and being alive. Especially when a person had once experienced to become seriously ill, physicality is no longer the biggest issue but life. That's is the reason why, it doesn't matter if people will bully you and me physically, as long as we exist on earth, we can still lived happily.
Physical appearance is just an outward mask, sometimes we can hide our real identity through our looks. The person inside of you who lived within that body is what matters most. We will make ourself looking good through wearing nice clothes and other stuffs, is the result of giving importance to oneself.
We have to enjoy and embraced to who we are today, if we have the strength, the face that can smile, the strong arms and legs, the clear eyes sight, a nice hair, we should be thankful, because we can enjoyed that part of life temporarily. One day, it will turn into becoming weak.
The face that glows today, will soon have few lines, the strong arms and legs become weak that we need staff to walk along the way, our eyes can become cloudy, our hair will turn into white and some will fall down.
Human is totally have nothing to be called forever possessions, everything is just borrowed, and entrusted in us. We don't have a total control about it, we are only a temporary steward.
Always remember this:
We are uniquely beautiful, we may differ physically, but we all have the same end point.
If we make our face looks pretty, we should also desire to be beautiful inside.
Whatever people say about you, you are awesome creation.
Physical changed will soon come maybe now or later.
The stronger will not always be strong, the beautiful will not always be pretty, the handsome will not always be good looking, the flawless, has always have flaws.
Nobody's exempted with this staged of life, which is physical changed.
Enjoy being young and live for a moment that we are able to make what we want.
We are just one cell apart, if there's a single point in our body that is being harmed or has n ailment, our life may possibly turned around.
What we can do today?
What we can do, is to be grateful each day, and lived rightly, lovingly and cautiously with whatever we put into our body.

Same experience I had ate. I was hesitant to greet the teacher, kasi hindi ako sure kung siya na yun, but I still took chances. Naggreet ako sabay nagpakilala. Na-recognize nya ako agad. Hindi talaga natin alam kung anong future naghihintay sa atin ate ano.
