Nothing

Once I said, if there is nothing, then there is something.

Today there is nothing to say. There is nothing to think of. There is just nothing about anything. Sometimes life has to be seen from that perspective, nothing. It relieves me of the angst, of the misery, of the pain. I only feel this way when the hurt is so much, when the heart longs too much that there is nothing but to feel the void and emptiness.

How do you say goodbye to memories? When all you have are the memories? How do you just leave behind the beauty of moments shared together? How do you live and forget all that have been?

Nothing. There is nothing to ease the difficulties, nothing to soothe the burdens of loneliness. I told you there is just nothing.

You are leaving. And I am not even sure if I'll see you again. And if ever I do not know how. What do you expect from me? I could think of nothing.

And the more I think of it the more difficult it is for me.

There is nothing to feel. There is nothing to live for. Nothing is an escape from it all. It is a temporary shelter, a refuge for those who want to momentarily forget reality.

There is nothing to say. Cause the heart does not know how to express anymore. It gets tired of longing, of waiting, of loving.

So long. I will see you in my dreams.

Swimming

We went for a night swimming. My friends and I enjoyed the cool breeze of the starry night in Alroa (that's the name of the resort). Well, I did not exactly go for a dip but as I said I enjoyed the night and the thought that I was out of home. I rarely get out of the house since vacation started. I just don't know but I was actually afraid of leaving home after that 'incident' that happened a week ago. It frightens me til now. Having survived that, I believe it was kinda life changing. It made me change the way I look at my life now. It feels weird but I really enjoy being at home, with my mom and being alone with myself. But I had to admit that it is suffocating at times. I need to get out to breathe some fresh air and enjoy a refreshingly new environment. I believe that everyone of us, once in our life, well, maybe more, experiences that kind of imprisonment. We feel we are being burdened by our loneliness, that it is okay to be alone. But hey, one day, we will wake u...

How

It was already late. Sleep never wanted to disturb me from thinking. It never wanted to liberate me from the pain I was going through. I kept on thinking, thinking til I was numb. I could only feel the throbbing pain that's left after. I would have wanted to free myself from this misery. That early dose of sleep would be quite a relief. But I could not find any of that. My body was begging for some well deserved rest after a long day. Yet the day was made longer by my petty foolishness. This has been difficult for me. I know there was nothing to expect. I did not expect for your message, your email, your sms, your visit, any of that. I did not expect you to greet me on our special day. I did not expect you to show up. I did not expect you... And I expected myself to be this lonely. There was nothing I could do but to allow the tears washed the stain on my cheeks. It went down to even wash the dust that covered my neck. Til it refrained from further flowing down...the tears stopped ...

Ash Wednesday

Today Lenten season begins. Together with the Filipino participants, I am going to attend Mass for the traditional ash-marking in the forehead. Since I am in a far away land, it is an opportunity for me to look back and reflect on how my life has been. I know I have a blessed life. I have been given so much. And I am thankful for all that come my way. There were good memories. There were sad memories even painful ones. But even the littlest detail of my life has been a lesson learned. When I picture the people who are always there for me in my mind, I just can't help but ask, have I been there for them ?In the process, there were those who came and left their marks behind yet there were those who came and left scars in my heart. Nevertheless, somewhere in my life, I have been me. I was touched. I was hurt. And nothing compares the pain of loneliness, of emptiness, of being ignored. As the season unfolds, let it be my resolve to look back and let go of the heavy burdens in my load. ...
