In My Own World

Many of us have something heavy that we are keeping inside and we have a hard time letting go of. Excess baggage, they say. It can be a traumatic experience, some hurtful words that someone said to us that we cannot get over with, a painful past, or anything that we aren't willing to share with anyone, yet.  Perhaps because we don't want to hear any judgments or simply because once we do, we will surely cry a river.  Any excess baggage is heavy. But we find it hard to put them down, even though we have a hard time carrying them. We tend to hold on to them too tightly for a reason that they already became an integral part of us. Somehow we couldn't see ourselves being the same person had we removed these excess baggage. Even though they're too heavy to carry, for some odd reason we can still find some comfort and fulfilment carrying them.  But as the term suggests, 'excess' meaning whether we like it or not we have to eliminate it. Any excess would be too unbeara...

When all else fails When everything seems to be going against you You have two options Either fight or surrender When all else fails When the people around you seem to disappoint you You have two options Either be patient with them or leave  When all else fails When you want to start reaching for your dreams, but it's as if someone is pulling them away from you You have two options Either give up or keep trying When all else fails And nothing seems to be going right in your life anymore You have two options Either breathe or get drowned When all else fails And everything seems to be falling apart You have two options Either get wounded with the broken pieces or create something beautiful out of the fragments When all else fails And everything seems to go out of hand You have two options Either wallow in sadness or simply go with the flow When all else fails And no one seems to understand you You have two options Either be your own best friend or an enemy When all else fails And the...

"If you have the power to eat alone in a restaurant or sit alone in a cinema hall then you can do anything in your life." Done and done. There are people out there who can't eat in a restaurant or watch a movie in a cinema alone. Wherein there are some people like me, who would rather go solo and don't want any company. If you are an introvert, then you could totally relate and doing those things is no biggie to you. It would be a piece of cake. That's basically an introvert's dream. To eat alone in a restaurant without having to consider anyone, like what other person prefers to eat. Or when going for a movie, you can watch whatever you like without having to consider if the people you're with like the movie or not. You have all the liberty to decide.  Alone isn't boring, at least for me. When you are all by yourself you have time to asses yourself. You have time to ponder about how your life has been going on lately. Somehow it could give you some cl...

Being the youngest child has its pros and cons, but really mostly cons. One of its pros is that you were everyone's favorite when you were still the youngest family member. But of course, it changes over time, e.g with the presence of a niece or nephew.  Then you realized that you're no longer the apple of the eye, and you also realized that it's okay. It's okay especially if you are not the type of person who doesn't like to be on the spotlight. At the same time you couldn't help but miss those moments when you were everyone's favorite. You kinda miss those times when everyone considers you and your feelings. But here's the thing, if you are the youngest sibling you don't grow old, you cannot grow old (not literally, though). You are always a kid in their eyes no matter how old you get. For me, that's a bad thing because: 1. You're always the 'do this' and 'do that' person. 2. If your siblings poke fun at you, you can't g...
