Being Blind


Most of them say that being blind is hard. You wouldn't know where you are, you wouldn't know what's the color of this and that, you would't know how amazing earth is, you'll see nothing but darkness...

But being blind doesn't mean you don't have any chances of living the good life in this world.

You have the ears to listen, the nose to smell, the mouth to speak, and the skin to feel, and maybe, just maybe, that could be enough.
You can listen to nature surrounding you. The rushing of the river, the chirping of the birds...
You can smell what you're cooking and make it a perfect dish because you can smell the bad ones from the good ones...
You can speak up your mind and also ask people for assistance because you can't really see them but you know they are there...
And you have the skin to feel the wind sweeping on your face, the gentle touch of a person guiding you, the softness and roughness of things, and that's already enough to make you feel alive


You can find love by not depending on their appearance because you can only see their personality. You can focus on the things you are doing and not get distracted. You see people through the way they treat you and you can call them beautiful just by depending on what's in the inside. You will be able to be contented on what you have because you don't have to compare things whenever a new offer comes along. 

By being blind, you can actually SEE the true image of humanity.



Close your eyes and feel the world revolve around you. What do you feel? Close your eyes and forget about the things that have caught your attention and think. Close your eyes and don't judge the things that you see. Close your eyes and feel the darkness.

Listen carefully to the sounds around you. Listen carefully to what the others are saying, Listen carefully to the animals, listen carefully to the people talking. Listen carefully to the music. Listen carefully to yourself and don't mind the noises around.

Open your mouth and speak up. Speak up about how you feel when people treat you badly. Speak up when someone keeps on letting you down. Speak up when you're stuck so someone can offer you a helping hand. Speak up so they can hear your voice because... once you stay silent, then no one will ever know.

Hold out your hand, someone will take it. Hold out your hand because someone needs it. Hold out your hand and wipe the tears off someone's cheeks, Hold out your hand and entangle them with someone's hand to make them feel secured. Hold out your hand for the world.

Sometimes, you don't have to see everything because you can use other senses. You are not alone. No one is ever alone.Don't ever think that you're alone because honestly you're the only one who makes yourself feel isolated.


CLOSE YOUR EYES.
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
SPEAK UP.
AND
HOLD OUT YOUR HAND.

Choose: My Happiness or Yours?

We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision. You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay? You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better? You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer? Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it.  But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not. But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they

Maybe Life Isn't As Bad As You Think It Is

We all think that life is a challenge. An RP game that we are all a part of. We go through things that we think are our last challenge because we're just gonna pause it right there and not even think of a way to get over it. And now you're stuck at looking at a flat wall, and it's staring back at you. A tough life, that's what we all have. We have problems that we think will never arrive at our doorstep, but it did. When something goes wrong, we think that we rode the wrong train and there's no turning back. But maybe that's just how it's supposed to be. We've focused enough on the normal things that we didn't even wonder what's behind a mountain. We think that we're safe if we do things normally, and by doing things the normal way, there's nothing that can waver the norms. When we look at people smiling and laughing, we wish that our life will turn out to be like theirs, and we're not even thinking that maybe they have their own

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
