To be Human

 


To be human is to hate people's guts. It is to be annoyed and angry that some people are in it to see you fail. It is to see your friends betray you. It is hear the words they say behind your back. It is to experience malice. It is to experience them soiling your name. It is to see people take advantage of your kindness and good heart. It is to hate them. It is to feel pain and hurt so unimaginable. It is to wonder what you did to deserve that. It is to cut them off no matter how far you've come together. It is to wall your heart and to be afraid of trusting again.

To be human is to do everything and to care and at the end no one appreciates you. It is to be there for people again and again and they never notice. It is to pour your heart. It is to give your all. It is to help people and get nothing in return. It is to be good. It is to shape your world sometimes to accomodate people but they won't even try because they are so used to you being there. It is to get fed up and feel suffocated. It is wanting to escape. It is to stop on your tracks and take care of yourself and get cancelled for it. It is to feel peace and to learn that you can't be there for all people because not everyone deserves your time and energy.

To be human is to not understand the dynamics of love. It is to question someone's intentions. It is to wonder about how old or young you think your partner should be. It is to have feelings but not be sure of them. It is to be calm and wild at heart. It is have fire in your eyes. It is to question your worth and the benefit of being in a relationship. It is to face your insecurities over and over again. It is one person having feelings and the other not feeling the same. It is those feelings coming and going. It is to be angry about those damn feelings. It is to be jealous some times.

To be human is to wonder about welcoming love but thinking if you are really ready to take that step. It is to have awkward moments. It is wanting to see that person but not wanting to face them because words disappear. It is to wonder what that person you like thinks of about you. If a smile instantly lights up their face when they think of you. It is to scrap those thoughts away because you don't believe you can love that person enough or that person can love you enough. It is to wonder how people say love leads because you like being control and at the end of it all you know that you will actually choose the person you love. It is to worry about being vulnerable because to love is to be vulnerable. It is to be afraid and to be really confused.

To be human is to feel overwhelmed. It is to give up. It is to lose hope. It is to not look forward to tomorrow. It is to practise selective amnesia. It is to throw away feelings under the rug only for those feelings to come back,hitting you like a wrecking ball. It is to curl in foetal position at night because that position seems to make you forget your troubles. It is to be in curse mode all the time. It is to wonder about the purpose of living. It is to spiral out of control. It is to lose your balance. It is to think about the intricacies of life and death. It is to feel helpless. It is to be at crossroads. It is to feel stuck. It is to wonder what direction to take.

To be human is to face the ugliness of death. It is to bury loved ones and to come to the fact that as long as you live, you will bury so many people; family, friends, colleagues. It is to have that fear grip you and take hold of you, sucking all the light from your world. It is to feel deaths cruelty. It is to wonder about your own death and how or if you'll be remembered. It is to never reconcile the fact that death is final. It is not coming to the terms that this day might be the last day you'll see someone. It is to wonder how to thank God when someone is gone. It is to wonder how life makes sense. It is to struggle with the waves of grief and its untimed schedule. It is to wonder when you'll be okay and knowing you'll never be really okay at the same time. It is to try to find your ground again while learning to live with the pain because life is moving on. It is to find that purpose to live again.

To be human is to feel many things. It is to be many things. It is to be in pieces. It is to pick up those pieces always. It is trying to make those forward steps and by amazing grace, hope to feel better or find better things. For the most part, it is tiring. And it sucks

21st Century Twenties

The freaking hellish twenties of century 21. Pheewwh!! I know I'm not the only one feeling this especially about the mid 20's. It is such a mental time. It is a time when you have to remind yourself each day that everything will be okay because the world is not what you thought. It is a time when you learn that peace of mind is actually something people struggle to find. It is a time when you cannot seem to understand life or God. When you will roll through all emotions at once. You will be sad then happy, high then low. It is a time when you learn that "I- don't -know- what -I- feel" is also an emotion by itself. When relationships will end without drama but you still hurt as hell, probably even more than if it had ended with drama.  It is a time when you will unlearn the things you learnt. When people will move to upper niches in their lives and you will feel left behind. People will be getting married and having children and you will feel lik...

God is As Simple

I was born and raised Catholic and I love being Catholic but through the years I have come to learn that the whole idea of religion is overrated and that churches limit us. I think to understand the Creator, people sat down and developed ideas to try to explain who God is and how to worship him. Don't get me wrong, I respect people and their way of worship. I just don't like it when some of these people criticize others or think they have a one way ticket to heaven because their way of worshipping God is superior to others.  Some might label me a bad Catholic christian but in all honesty, I don't think understanding the whole complex doctrine and knowing the number of garments a priest dons for mass matters. Then why do I still go for mass you might ask or why have I not changed churches? I go because there is where I find peace. There is something ethereal and majestic about cathedrals especially when I find myself alone on some random day. As crazy as it may soun...

Phoenix

I turned a year older just the other day and truth be told this season has had so many lows and highs. For me especially, there were too many letdowns. Hopes held on high just to crush me. Times where I gave those I'm-doing-great -I-can't- complain kind of replies but in truth I wanted  scream my head out because nothing was going right. Smiling and making jokes about how everything seems contorted but deep inside I was mad and confused about what a mess everything felt like. These years are totally unnerving.  Be that as it may, I just decided to sit back,  look at how life is and I realized God is in total control you know.The director behind the scenes. Even though I got mad at him so many times, I somehow knew that it was pointless because that's just it. Pointless.  He has a reason for everything. He always has.  With all the disappointments there have been real truths revealed though:Those spectacular academic degrees do not mean  the work you do w...
