weakness ..

Everyone has or have our own weaknesses. Something in particular we always wanted to keep in ourselves or shall I say to keep from others. Something that is considered as a sensitive topic, something that when brought out or being talked about or even use as a simple joke, you don’t know how to act. You feel so uneasy about it.

Imagine being in an interview when you’re applying for a job. When asked about your strengths, it’s so easy for us to think of something we could consider as our strengths. It’s a different thing when we’re asked about our weakness and how did we handle or overcome it. It’s also the same feeling when it comes to our own personal weaknesses. Those things are something that we hardly admit to ourselves. Something we don’t want to talk about, sometimes.

AGE. Your age is the number of years that you have lived. It is the state of being old or the process of becoming older.

I have a friend who’s so sensitive about her age. Our age ranges from 22 – 28 years old. She’s the oldest in our group. Everyone noticed her uneasiness when it is being talked. I can feel it too because I, myself is also sensitive about it. Though, we know that sometimes it is just for fun, we don’t know how to respond on a joke about age. All we did is just smile, because when we try to speak to play with their jokes, sometimes we just sounded like a defensive one. Bottom line is, they will all laugh about it. No one wanted to be the center of a joke and the feeling that everyone is making fun of you.

People in nature, doesn’t want to consider as old. These maybe because at the back of our mind, we always wanted to stay young. Sometimes, older people likes being with younger people; then younger people likes being with older people. It’s vice-versa. But one thing I realized about it, when you’re with younger people you learn how to enjoy more with your life. Younger people are tend to be care-free, because all they want is just FUN, FUN, FUN. Likewise, being with older people is an opportunity to learn more and gain knowledge from them, from their experiences.

if not me, then who would be?..

An excerpt from the book Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen: Halley and Scarlett have been best friends ever since they met. Halley has always been the quiet one; Scarlett braver and more outgoing. Halley has always turned to Scarlett when things get rough, and Scarlett has always known just what to do. It’s the perfect set up. But everything changes at the beginning of their junior year. Scarlett’s boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident; then she finds out that she is carrying his baby. For the first time ever, Scarlett really needs Halley. Now Halley has to how to be strong for Scarlett. It won’t be easy, but Halley knows that she can’t let Scarlett down. Because a true friend is a promise you keep forever. ~~ This is definitely not a book review. I think I’m not good at it. I just realized while reading and after finishing it, that I can relate to the character of Halley. I remember when I was a kid, I don’t have a best friend to be called. There’s no kid in my h...

Trauma has its name..

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have a glorious childhood or teenage days. Some of us have to dealt with terrible loneliness, crying their selves to sleep, sitting alone in the park, constant yelling at home, much worst seeing their parents hurt each other both verbally/emotionally and physically. As I grow up, my sense of insecurity also grew up rapidly whenever I saw some kid having bonding moment with their families or having a good laugh over something or just petty things. Asking myself every time, will it get better? But I know, things won't change in a snap of your finger or a tick of a magic wand just like in some fairy tales we've watched when we were a kid. I grew up believing, happiness will come to me if I work hard for myself, for them to provide whatever they need. Maybe, just maybe things will change.  Physical wounds heals easy, but emotional pains stays within you. It is forcefully stored inside, keeping it from others to see, it will either make you or b...

FOR YOU..

For the independent ones, who doesn't let their family know their worries because they don't like them to be worried about anything. For the breadwinners, who many times have nothing left on their pockets but still have to find way just to provide. For the strong ones, who choose to stand still because they know they don't have anyone as back-up but themselves. For those who choose to go on, because they know giving up is not option, because what will happen to everyone they care if it's just them who holds it together. For those who sets aside their happiness because there is more important than that. This is for YOU. Though many times, things happens not as much what you want or planned for, one day, time will come, everything will take its place accordingly. One day, you will no longer worry for tomorrow. One day, you no longer stare at your monthly expenses or your monthly bills, thinking where you will get it. One day, you will no longer feel guilty whenever you b...
