Writer’s Block

I seriously find this annoying. I mean, here I am trying so hard to improve my writing skills, making an effort to write stuffs, any kind, just for the sake of writing something and there’s this stupid thing blocking my mind from writing anything other than a few nonsensical sentences and it keeps getting more and more frustrating. I have searched a lot of sites in the internet that might help me overcome these obstacles but nothing seems to be working. Maybe I’m just too stressed or worried about school or maybe the simple solution is just to take a break from everything and go somewhere peaceful. Yeah, I might do just that.

Relationships

Teenagers these days think that being in a relationship is about being ‘in’ the crowd or about having someone to cater to one’s every need. But to me, relationships should be about two people who are committed to each other not about two people succumbing to the need to find a partner so that they would not look too available.

Some of my friends think that being single is a sign of defect because no one wants you. Hearing those things, I want to shout at them and tell them that being single doesn’t mean that you have flaws , sometimes, it might mean that one is willing to wait for someone to whom he has connection with. Not just someone who could fill in the blank position.

Jaded

Feelings aren’t forever. Promises are broken like cheap plates thrown in fits of anger. And you’re forced to stand by and watch the chaos unfolding in front of you.

Living the life of a sheltered child with almost anything she wants emotionally and mentally from the people around her, this gives her the feeling of security and a sense of complete oblivion to the dark side of things. But when reality rears its ugly head, she just stand there, confused and without a single idea on what to do.

I just wanna cry and scream at everyone for not telling me things. They should have told me earlier on that there is no place for happiness in this world. That it’s impossible to achieve something that does not exist. That it’s a foolish attempt, one that you’ll regret later on. But I guess that doesn’t stop people from trying. Maybe they made these false illusions to keep people from shutting down and giving up on life. Because the prospect that there is light at the end of the tunnel is enough motivation to keep going.

But when you reach the finish, you’re faced with more darkness instead of a ray of sunshine, dissapointment instead of fulfillment and satisfaction. You’re life is cursed with eternal darkness. That’s the cruel reality.

Harsh Reality

You know what? I took a stroll in my hometown today, with my aunt as my chaperone. You might be wondering why I even need a chaperone at my age when its 21st century already. But you know those parents who are ‘old-school’? Yeah, my parents are like that.

Anyways, my innocent intention in just wandering around town took a turn for the worst. You see, my aunt is a bit open. Call it ‘bulgar’ as you will but she’s that kind of person. So, back to the point, my aunt started to make little stops to her friend’s houses. But as entering her friend’s houses, I’ve learned bits and pieces about her wild teenage days before since she had no qualms about sharing her life story to eveybody. I knew that problems like ‘infidelity’, unwanted pregnancy, and other marital problem exists but I never knew that it was this horrible. I mean almost all of her ‘man friends’ are with their spouses only because of the accidental kids. But even that kind of situation does not stop them from dipping their fingers to different dishes. IYKWIM.

What happened to their marriage vows? What happened to the word ‘fidelity’? When did it change to ‘lies & other women’? I guess happy endings do not exist anymore. Everybody’s marrying for convenience thinking that money, children, and for the sake of security thinking that it is enough for a happy life. In the end, everyone will be miserable and unhappy. I hope the money & security they were looking for was when entering a marriage worth all the bitterness.

Denial

I therefore conclude that denial won’t get you anywhere. It only makes everything else a lot more complicated and confusing. It makes you miserable and bitter. So my advice? If you like someone, don’t even bother trying to rationalize it in an effort to put it in a neat little box and tuck in a corner of your mind because I’m telling you, it won’t work. Nothing else but admitting it will sooth the ache. And if the only reason that you’re even bothering to deny your feelings for that someone is the fact that you’re unwilling to risk losing the bond with him/her then you’re wasting your time rooting for him/her then.

Like I always say, “The heart wants what the heart wants, after all”, and I’m telling you it won’t settle for anything less. So, the way I see it, you only have two choices, and it’s either go BIG or go HOME. Meaning, if you want something so damn bad then you gotta do something big to get it otherwise if you let your fears and doubt cloud your judgement and stop you from doing things that you want then you might as well go home and be miserable.
If you’re experiencing this right now, I hope I’ve helped even a little bit.
