Troubled

Some people don’t like to be alone and I happen to be one of them. It makes one feel helpless and you wonder if there’s a purpose to your very existence. As a consequence, some surrender themselves to lifestyles that are filled with noise and excitement of all kind regardless of the consequences. Some choose to keep everything to themselves, thinking that if the world doesn’t care about me then why the hell should I give a damn about it? Personally, I do not belong to either of the mentioned category. Nevertheless, I do not enjoy loneliness because I tend to think too much whenever I feel that I have been left out. I feel vulnerable, I feel insecure, and I feel down when I’m faced with loneliness.

But sometimes, just sometimes, loneliness is good for one. It gives you a chance to reflect on life and identify its purpose. At the end of the day, one must realize that we are eventually on our own out there. Nobody can actually be there for you 24/7. Family is considered as close but they have their own duties to be carried out and the same goes for friends of varying degrees. For those who have faith in religion, God is with them all the time but the question is do they feel the presence of God every single moment? If one’s faith is not strong enough, I guess loneliness would be inevitable. Even if you own everything in the world, what good is it to you if you can find no true peace or happiness within? But then again, who am I to be giving lectures on life?

I admit that I am a person with many flaws. There are numerous occasions where I viewed everything in a negative way. Most of the time, it’s easier for me to hate rather than trying to understand because the latter takes a lot more effort and without knowing that by doing so, I’m actually being mean to myself as well as others. What the heck man? I’m pissed off and I have every right to take it out on everybody else but me. By now you would probably be cursing me for being such a selfish person but hey, I’m just an ordinary guy with flaws remember? I’m sorry if I have ever wronged you and that I might do that again in the future which I hope I wouldn’t but I really can’t tell. As I was saying earlier, I don’t like this thing called loneliness. That is why I cling on tightly to whatever that is around me tightly. The last thing I wanted was to sit here alone in my cell-like room and forcing myself to sleep just because I feel bored. Useless, I know. What kind of guy am I? Laugh and condemn all you want, I am still myself. One day I must wake up and face the reality but for now I wish to escape from reality whenever I feel like I am going to breakdown. This, my friend, is when loneliness comes in handy.

Life is like a dream

Life is like a dream, isn’t it? Everything comes and goes before you knew it. Most of the times, we can’t really recall what we dreamt of the previous minute when we were fast asleep and yet, we had already woke up from it. Be that as it may, there were still dreams where you’ll never forget, not while you can still breathe. Some of them consist of nightmares while the rest, or rather most of them, were sweet dreams. Nobody can stay awake for their whole life; one must take a rest and sleep. However, it is also impossible for one to fell asleep all the time either. I know it sounds contradicted but that is the fact. Dreams can’t be programmed, unlike the computer. Therefore, it is similar to life: it is at some point yours’, but not exactly yours actually. @.@” When I am having a nightmare, I would say to myself:” Oh, what a dream!? I wonder how long this will last”. It is interesting because the answer that it expected ( which is:” Not for very long, I should think”) always appears wh

Scribble

Looking at  the moon tonight, so big and full  and lovely and bright, casting down  a romantic light, I suddenly wonder  how it's like, to be walking on the moon  if I just might. As for you my love  who's on the other side, how I wish  you're right beside, so I can hold you  oh so tight, and get with you  on a long long flight, to a place  where our hearts reside, together forever  side by side. We're born  we've met  we'll wed  and eventually die, but though there'll be  an end to life, my love for you  will never subside, today tomorrow will always be like, the first day we met on the 8th of July.

Patience makes patient

You'd think that it's easy being me. Well, can't really blame you for that because it does appear to be so most of the times. Throughout these years I've been learning how to control my emotions and it does seem in this case that I've done a pretty good job haven't I? It's been quite a while since I last posted anything to my blog but today I'm not here for the sake of updating. "Many a time words that we don't mean get said; those that we do, they kept buried deep inside" (Myself, 2012). Have you ever wondered why our mouths can talk for so long and so eloquently yet only so little of which came out are meaningful? I can say for one that most often than not we talk faster than we actually think, that's why. If there's one thing that I know for sure about life it'd be that you can never judge a book by its cover, just as pictures of most people found on Facebook can never be trusted. Let me give you another example: The tear
