I will keep writing, it's what this shortening is telling me But I will keep writing. I am triggered. Not my choice but I have no choice. I should keep writing because life is too short to pause writing. Though my heart is weary, my soul is beaming with inexplicable delight. Why am I so lucky to be preparing for a grand departure? Yes, I am so lucky indeed. I get to think freely about departing. What should I leave behind? What should I erase? What should I fix? What should…
Uplift yourself when you're down Have you ever felt down for no particular reason? As if you are being pulled down by an unknown force? It dawned on me that I have been having self-pity. It has stemmed from the fact that I have not been feeling good about myself for I don't know how long already. Honestly, I don't see the same person in the mirror a few years ago. And I keep wondering why that has had a significant impact on me. I don't feel any excitement in almost…
Making sense of a coffee-less life A coffee-less life... Bow! Have you ever been addicted to coffee? And suddenly, you needed to quit and should not have a sip forever? I know, I know. The feeling of helplessness. While the rest are radiantly beaming with euphoria sipping their coffees here and there, there you are candidly declining anybody inviting you for a cup. Well, I shouldn't romanticize. I know I just shouldn't. Health comes first. In my unfortunate case, I should…
Preparation in almost everything--a must for me To not take things for granted is a resolution that has been crossing my mind every once in a while. I told myself that it should not be a one-year goal or a two-year goal. It must be a lifelong practice. It should be integrated into my day-to-day activities. However, as often as it crosses my mind, I keep forgetting the real deal. Implementing it in my life is a lot harder than I thought. I sometimes let days pass losing the…
Feeling invisible Plants have seasons to bear fruits. Weather changes. Crops produced depend upon the season. So are people, they have their seasons. But for an eccentric person like me, I always wanted to somehow attract something for myself. Not that I need such things but for some reason, I seek attention. A few years ago though, I decided to stay away from the limelight. I drove myself out of the circle of colleagues or friends. And did I like it? I don't think so. I may…
What is the right way to live? Caution: Ahead is just jumbled thoughts and nonsensical ramblings... Skip if you are in a hurry :-) To wake up each morning, brush one's teeth, take a bath, scrub the dirt away from the body, dress appropriately, wear the right shoes, and walk gracefully... I am thinking, is such the ideal way to live one's life? If I repeatedly do such every single day, will I have lived a proper life? Go to work, do one's job properly. Answer the telephone…
In life, we also need to know how to spot the danger and go to safety I go out and I get lost. And I feel overwhelmed by the volume of the things I realize. I oftentimes become unaware of the negative effects of my getting lost in the crowd. So when I realize the dangers of such, I get wary of a lot of things. But yes, I try not to get too consumed by negativity. But much as I would like not to be devastated by insignificant things that become very significant, I still get…
