Days Like This

-

 

And there are days like this. Days when nothing goes wrong but nothing feels right. When you know that there are so many things to look forward to, but they seem empty promises, and you ask yourself, why am I doing all these? What are these for? And sometimes life is like this, you question your purpose, why are you here, and you don’t find answers, and so you continue this cycle of figuring things out, when all you really want is to find contentment.

I don’t want to be whining, but I’ll whine anyway. I don’t want to be sad, but this is something I cannot escape. Perhaps it is part of life, part of really knowing who you are and be more self-aware. They say you need to be more grateful. I am, but that does not mean I should hide all these other feelings. I am grateful, but I am also confused, lost, and just want everything to stop. But the world will not wait, so as the other people in this world. Life goes on, no matter how I feel.

It is frustrating when you want to be someone who embraces life and enjoy every moment, but sometimes you just feel down, and you do not know where it is coming from. I am loved, I love, and I will continue to love, but for this day, I am sad, and no matter what I do, I cannot shake of this melancholic feeling. And perhaps I am tired of imagining the life I want, when I haven’t figured out the life I want.

Perhaps I have too much time in my hand, or probably I just do not know what to do with the time I am given. And it’s days like this when I just want to snap out of it, and perhaps I will. But for now, I’ll mope, endure, and soak it all in.

A REFLECTION PAPER ON METAPHYSICS

-
A single idea cannot encapsulate the way the world is…. What is the true reality? Can we find answer to the real sense of the world by finding the ultimate individual? Or is it in the external world apart from us that could be brought by our sensations and addressed by a supreme mind? Is it in the realization that we are in a continuous movement of time? Or is it in the thesis that what is true to us could actually be false? IIrwagen’s book presented some very intriguing points for someone who does not think like he does. I don’t think like he does. In fact, as I was reading his work, I was asking myself if there is actually a point of reading his book. His book, Metaphysics, talked about what ultimate reality is and if our world is actually the real world. So what then if the world we live in is not as real as most of the population deems it to be? Would it change the fact that our basic needs are food, water and shelter? Are we going to forego our ambition...

Why You Need to Take it Easy on Yourself?

How many times have you blamed yourself for things gone wrong? Plans going south? And goals remaining unmet? Often, you see yourself at a standstill, feeling like you are not getting anywhere in life. Yes, it is often disappointing to see how much you have given and yet you are still far off from your dreams. In fact, you will often feel that what you want are moving away from you, and perhaps, they are not meant for you. But these thoughts are just that, thoughts, they are not your reality, so get easy on yourself. What you feel is valid, but it is temporary: All of us feel that way sometimes, and it is important to recognize those feelings. However, we cannot dwell on them for long because if we do, we will fail to recognize all the good things that happened to us. We would miss the chance of enjoying our little victories. Although it does not feel good to see our plans shatter, remember that those are just hiccups. You can only stare at the broken glass for so long, b...

Be Optimistic

-
Often, it is difficult to be optimistic because of all the drama around you. Lalo na pag may mga taong gusto kang makitang malungkot. However, it is not impossible especially if you have something to look forward to. Here are some tips: 1. Always keep your goal in mind. Mas maganda kung may short term goal ka para mas nakakaexcite isipin. Halimbawa, nag-iipnon ka para sa bagong laptop. Dahil may pinag-iipunann ka, kakayanin mo kahit anong hirap ng trabaho . 2. This too shall pass. Natutunan ko to sa teacher ko nung college. Oo nga naman, kahit anong badtrip mo ngayon, lilipas din yan. Kung naiinis ka, tingnan mo na lang ang orasan. Tumatakbo ang oras di ba, ibig sabihin, kelangan mo itong sabayan. Do not dwell on negativity. Ok lang na maging negative for a while but you have to snap out of it right away or it will consume you . 3. Positivity attracts good vibes. Sabi nga nila, the mind is pwoerful. Kung ano iniisip mo, yun ang lumalapit sayo, so isip lang ng mga magagandang ba...
