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."

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 ...

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 ...

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...
