The Void

-

 In the essence of everything, people try to live as though they try to complete something that is already been created to be a void.


As the people try to rush on things in regards to christmas, i noticed how people kept talking with each other. They find comfort in some words from friends, family, or even some random people. They try to fill this gap of emptiness. The void that tends to absorb their whole being, their entirety of who they are. They just kept on looking, looking at something that they might possess or perhaps, some things that they will never be.


As they try to find it, they stumble and fall and find another thing after another. Collecting and collecting and collecting just to fill that void. That big hole they try to cover. That hole that is always present yet intentionally not to be seen. That hole that may define the entirety of the reason on why they exist. That whole that always point to something that they will not eventually fill. 


As they gaze to some things that might fill this emptiness, they try to cover it with anything they find along their journey. Recognitions, beauty, power, fame, influence, friendship, and all those stuff that make a person different than the rest of the crowd. The thing that will help them stand out. 


Yet, no one knows what that is. Maybe for some people it was the family that holds them together, friendship that sticks more than their own kin, or perhaps a love that may last for a lifetime. Some do want power, influence, fame, money, or perhaps more than those. 


Yet, until now, nobody knew what are they supposed to live. The main reason on why they still want to fill that void. That void of nothingness. 


Until now, personally, i do not even know why I exist in this world. People try to fill me with their own thoughts of reasons like love, friendship, and family. But anyhow, how much I try to fill this void in my heart, I cannot substantiate the main reason or purpose on why am I here in this world. And I believe, there is something more in this life I live. 


Are you also questioning the very essence on why you are here? Perhaps, the only thing that can answer that is the One who created it. Maybe, it is God. Who knows?

Communication: its social dilemma

-
Communication entails a great deal of understanding and relationship. It creates a positive aspect between the communicator and the receiver. It helps in expressing both ideas perfectly, concluding into something more alive in words than just passive talking.  As I noticed friends talking with each other, a spark of communication cannot be diminished. Because communication plays a crucial role in organizing thoughts of camaraderie and the freedom of expressing oneself, it catalyzes a more artistic form of expression, laughing. As people communicate, ideas are brought up, and giving life to words has become the epitome of communication which transforms into action leading to more secure partnerships and community building. But some people are not just so blessed with communication, some do not choose to be confined in an area where they are not heard nor seen. Some are not just into words of expression themselves that s/he is sad just denying the fact that s/he needs them.  I j...

Happiness: What really is it?

-
 As I discover myself through works and other things to do. I find myself discovering the strongest and weakest version of me. I ponder that being me means being vulnerable to changes that entails pain, sadness, or even despair. As I walked through the doors of self-discovery, I pass through different version of myself. I encountered the crazy one, the pathetic one, the judger, the righteous, the holy, the unworthy, the sinful, the pity one, the ugly, the hopeless, the hopeful, the god of my own, the needy, the prayerful, the hypocrite, the lonely, and the person who only wants happiness in this world. These different versions of me proved that I am human. Prone to error and too far from perfection. I sometimes wonder, how can I maintain this happiness of accepting me despite of all the changes happening in my life? Or perhaps, can I be happier than the ideas inside of my head that define what really is happiness? I am prone to comparison. A competition of being perfect and enough....

Death

-
"Death is inevitable". A phrase that always pops up in my mind. A line that always scares me yet gives me wisdom to always view life as it is. I wonder how this phrase really creeps the hell out of me. As if all my achievements, successes, valor, or even those tiny wonders that I did great were just been silenced.  I also wonder how the phrase itself gives the resounding lesson of "you only live once" to me. It emphasizes how I should live my life in the best possible way. Exploring and destroying the fear and anxiousness inside to try something different and enjoy the moments of adventure. Perhaps, this gives me a notion that life is a mystery box that needs courage and perseverance to be opened and expect something that might scare, surprise, or even hurt me. It is like wandering through time and space and expecting something that might be expected or maybe the other way around. Death. A hurtful end of life or a happy beginning of the hereafter. A sad ending full ...
