HEAL

 






Some days, I wake up depressed.



Some days, I wake up with so much energy that it feels surreal.



Some days, I'm numb.


Some days, I don't even get to check how I feel ๐Ÿ˜‚



But one thing keeps lurking around the corner.



My Circle.



We've all had bad memories when it comes to people—most especially, with friends.





"Love is a static emotion. You cannot love without being motivated to express it."

Tim Lahey.





We've bared our hearts to those people because of the level at which they've offered a shoulder in our time of loneliness.



I might add that an intimate level has been reached.



Get your mind off of the gutter.



Some of us have gone the long way for people because you know how it would be to have a person who will cheer for you even when you put in the littlest of efforts.



Or is it when you know the feeling of having someone in your corner, of having someone who has your back till the end?



It's a general pain.



Most of us have experienced betrayal in our friendships. It hurts so bad and, if not managed, can drive us to the wall.



It could make you a shadow of your former self.



Really extreme!



And then it comes along with bitter emotions. If you're unlucky, yours are bottled up and affect your daily life.



You might wave it off, but there's a huge chance that you've been affected mentally.



At a certain point, you stop trusting people and cling to an invisible shell, questioning your capabilities.



You need to heal.



You need to feel those emotions and let go of the past.



For your benefit.



You will never have peace until you give up on hurting.



The annoying thing is that you can't change what has happened.



Time machines don't exist.



At least not now, and maybe whenever it does, we'll probably be old and frail. Much worse dead



So Live.



Give life all you've got and learn to love again.



See, betrayal as a boomerang. It surely comes.




But are you willing to hold on to it or let it go?



Does this analogy even work?





Till next time,

D.

  1. Beautiful piece. Truly, when we hold on to offenses from the past, we suffer from it instead.

BACK FROM THE EDGE

I give up on writing.  Really.  It's not what it used to be.  It no longer feels warm.  I remember my first time on Wattpad and how butterflies formed in my belly when I read different stories, and I thought  "Ah, wouldn't it be nice if someone else could have a taste of this feeling of bliss"?  This was how my love story began until I was swayed into the arms of another in search of a solution to my many problems.  A journey of hatred and suffocation started.  Why, you may ask?  Well, I won't mince words when giving my answer. It's too accurate to miss๐Ÿ˜‚ That which I once held dear became a bitter experience.  It tore the garment of my soul!  It gave me the feeling of an American male teenager who has parents who are always at loggerheads.  No comfort.  No solace.  No calm .  Just a space filled with darkness as thick as a forest.  I used to live for writing.  It was the bane of my existence.  It ...

THE POWER OF OVER CONFIDENCE

A Tired body. Drowsy eyes. Weak legs. As I pen down my thoughts for you, these are the expressions of the state I've found myself in. I wonder what will happen if I don't show up when my heart already knows the answer, and so I keep going because the feeling of regret and distrust in oneself is too much of a burden to bear. Speaking of distrust, something crazy happened to me. "What was I thinking?" I have been asking myself what went wrong. I was fully aware of my words and environment, but somehow I got lost in my head. Lost in my abilities . As much as it seemed funny, it caused me a lot of concern. I've always been an avid Word Lover. Words make me happy. New words give me ecstasy. Once I come across a word I'm unfamiliar with, I tend to leave every engagement just to get the information surrounding that word. So it shouldn't have been a problem to spell the word "Grace". Yes, that's the word I misspelled in front of a crowd—–quite embarr...

DON'T HOLD ON!

  My decisions are mine and mine alone, even when influenced by others, I'm still the one with the final say. I'm still the one who decides if I want to go or if I want to stay. And so it kills me when such decisions bring about an emotion that won't give me a chance to breathe. That won't give me a chance to move. That won't give me a chance at life. Regret. Basically, we're looking at regret in context of the past i.e in things we wish we had done. Subtly put, Wishful Thinking. To regret means to feel sorry about something, to be remorseful.  It means that regret comes with a deep kind of sorrow. When we feel sorry, it means something went wrong or haywire.  It means there's a pain deep in your hearts knowing that if you went back in time, you would definitely change the turnout of things. "Assuming I just listened, I wouldn't be in this state". This is the sound of someone who feels sorry for themselves for not doing something or taking acti...
