HELP WANTED: Life didn't hit me that hard

We have all been through our rough times, no one can escape the cruelty of life. And that's a fact.

Thinking that your life is the worst of all? Think again.

I, for one, thought that I have the worst life in the history of human kind. Thinking that my parents are now gone, I can't imagine that I can't see them ever while I'm still here on earth, alive.

But then I thought, I am not the only one who doesn't have parents...

Every time I watch TV, or walk along the streets, I see homeless children who depends on each other and strive to live.

Life didn't hit me that hard.

In classrooms, I hear everyone laughing and teasing the fattest one in class but little do they know that that fat girl they always tease cries every time she goes home and skips all of her meals just to get thinner. She's living because of water and her parents are worried. She's unhealthy not just physically, but emotionally, too.

My life didn't hit me that hard.

Some girls who got pregnant early are being called sluts. What if she got raped? Can you imagine that terrible experience of hers? No.

My life didn't hit me that hard.

I heard about stories of lovers who had to break up because society didn't want to see them together. Imagine how hard it is to be separated from the one you love just to please the society.

My life didn't hit me that hard.

I also saw how cruel people are towards gays and lesbians. Don't they know that they are people, too? Don't they know that they should be respected?

My life didn't hit me that hard.

I heard of a kid who got hurt by his mother's boyfriend just because he didn't hear him because he had his earphones on. And that guy doesn't have any rights to hurt that kid at all.


My life didn't hit me that hard.

Then I know this one guy whose mother blames everything to him. She slaps and punches him for no reason. She wasn't there for her child. She wasn't there for his child's graduation. She wasn't there to witness how cruel her child's life was because of her.

My life didn't hit me that hard.

And the most heartbreaking one of all...

How do you feel about seeing an old man eating alone at a restaurant?

I wish no one's life would hit that hard.



What should you do then?

Pray.

Pray and believe that everything's gonna be alright. Believe that you can get through it. This is life. There will always be something blocking you from your goals and you just gotta play with it. Make everything you do with your life counts because every second of it is worth it. Take every opportunity as a challenge because there's nothing to lose.

 I need help. You need help. Everyone needs help. We all just need a helping hand. And sometimes, that helping hand is ours, too.

Remember,


Saying "I can't believe I did that"

is better than

"I wish I did that."

Ruined.

We all have these moments when we tell ourselves that our life's ruined. It might be because of a book, a movie, series, talk shows, or anything that we sank our hearts and feelings into. And it just happened to me...AGAIN. Here I am typing in my blog at 3am because I just paused a series that I am watching, I didn't just pause it, I closed that VLC media player and heaved out a stressed laugh because that series was ruining my life. I know that we all got disappointed from the wrong decisions that our favourite characters make and how impeccable their bad timing is, but maybe that's what's making the story more interesting. What if our life's a movie and people have been watching it? What if they get the same reaction we do when we get depressed, sad, or even happy with whatever the main character does? What if the voices in our head are actually the voices of the people watching over our life story? I have thought about that too, it sounds interesting but it...

Hello College, Goodbye High School

April 4, 2014, the day when we finally graduated. It seems like it was only yesterday when we first stepped into our classroom. Days do go by fast, huh? While our graduation song was playing in the background, almost all of us couldn't sing because we were already crying. Parents and guardians were in front of us and after singing our song, we gave them roses and that's when all of us broke into crying. To be honest, I have seen the most beautiful moment I could have seen in my entire life. Everyone was smiling with tears in their eyes and everyone was hugging one another. Even our teachers were teary-eyed. We all said our thanks and apologized to the ones that we've hurt. Our past teachers came, too. Nothing could have been better than that. Today I woke up and realized that I can never study to our school ever again. I won't see the same faces that I have seen everyday in that school. And that school's name is Conperey. Then I also realized that I won't s...

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 enoug...
