Prayers

Remember that girl who bullied you yesterday?
Or maybe that boy who teased awful things about you?
Or those people who have let you down?

What do you do to them? Do you bully them back or let them do what makes them happy, and that's hurting you?

There's this line that says "Don't judge the book by its cover." We all know that it's about judgmental people. But come to think of it, are there people who don't judge? 

I have read, seen, and heard about people's lives. About how cruel people to them are and how they just constantly tear them apart. But then again, we can't escape the fact that people like them exist, there will always be someone who will rain on your parade.

But how did these kind of people exist?

Let's go back to the girl who bullied you. Did you notice her scratches? How bout her bruises? No? How do you think is she treated at home? 
Have you heard someone cry in your school's comfort room lately? THAT WAS HER.

How bout the boy who teased awful things about you? Did you notice how he would scratch his head in every exam? Did you notice that he would only tease you when someone else does? What if he's a loner and he just had to do everything to fit in? What do you think?

Sometimes, we just don't know their stories, that's why sometimes, we have to talk to them. Maybe they can be your friend. I know it sounds hard but there's nothing to lose, right?

Here, I pray for the lonely ones. I pray for the bullied and the bullies, I pray for everyone. I might not know your story but I know you've been through a lot, because I did, too. I pray for the abused and the abusers. I pray for the society. There might be a little chance for the world to change their ways but one small act can always become bigger. How bout apologizing to the ones you have hurt now? Or maybe thank your parents for what they have done for you because without them, you wouldn't be where you are now. Forgive the ones who have hurt you and thank the ones who have told you they will never leave your side, and proved it.

Goodnight.

It's almost 2am and my mind is filled with reasons why I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep ... because when you've said your last "goodnight" for today, I wondered if you'll ever need me for the next couple of hours. What if you couldn't sleep, or have been woken up from a nightmare, and I wouldn't be there to tell you that everything's going to be alright? Tell me what's bothering you at 3am and I will talk to you until you fall asleep. And by then I'll bid you Goodnight. I couldn't sleep ... because when I look at the ceiling, I'd wish that by the time I look beside me, I can see you, and not this pillow missing the warmth of your skin. And maybe by then we wouldn't need to have our phone in our hands, because I would intertwine your fingers with mine, and they'd fit perfectly, almost as if it's meant to be. And we'll look at each other's eyes Not on our phones Because we wouldn't have ...

Don't Take Love Away

If you know someone who has a girlfriend and if you're planning to flirt with the man, I'm gonna have to ask you to read this post until the end. This will be short. Whenever I'm outside, in a classroom, or in a cafe, I have heard conversations about a girl crushing on a guy who already have a girlfriend, and what I heard we're pretty bad. Their plans would either be: wait til they break up (adding "walang forever" / "there's no forever") flirt steal the guy herself Why? Why do you have to go through all that process on stealing someone's love? Why do you have to be selfish? Do you think about the consequences? Have you ever thought that you will ruin someone's view about love? How can you live thinking that you got what you want, but there is someone out there crying at night thinking why they WEREN'T ENOUGH. If it sounds as if I've been through that kind of pain... then yes, I have, and I still am going through ...

Some Alone Time

This blog has been mostly about positive outlooks in life and the future, but allow me to give you a little gray cloud on a sunny day. For the past few weeks, my family has been asking me about my depression. They'd ask how can I still not get over my parent's death ( read about it   here ). How can I if that triggered my depression on? I know they're worried, they told me that they give me the things I need... but then I thought... I don't need material things, I just need them to understand. When they inquire me what's really happening inside my nutshell, I'd just look down and tell them that it's not easy to define, and I told them that I'll just express all of it to my psychiatrist. But today, I decided to write all about it. I know that the negativity of this post isn’t decent, but at least hear me out. 3 years ago, a year after my mom died, I understood my father’s constant drinking of alcoholic beverages, and I also understood all his s...
