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.

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...
