  • To break or not to break

    Most people who experienced unfulfilled promises were to say Promises are meant to be broken and those who spoke about it are bound to be avoided, cold treatment or ignoring them are the most common punishment casted towards. That much could cost someone a relationship may it be to a lover, a friend or a relative a family member, why? Because, it wasn’t actually the spoken words that was broken, it was the trust the receiver have given in exchange to those words. Once trust is tested and challenged there is no telling of how much pain will it cause the person to suffer.

    A man who promise his woman a lifetime commitment and the woman who believed that her man would keep those words have invested her trust towards him and looked at him with an utmost respect. In the end, the spark in between them died and the magic disappeared. Later on, she found out that her man found a new woman he believed to be someone whom he will promise his commitment for a lifetime. Of course, it is the end of her trust towards him and the beginning of doubt and agony. Trust was voided and the promise of forever has been cut short and all that’s left is the pain.

    Others may say, if a man failed to keep his words then he must never again speak of promises to anyone for his words defines him. Would a woman who seeks for security and commitment wants a man who knows nothing about promises of commitment? Of course not! Those words, those promises are music to a woman’s ears and those spoken words give the woman the security. Feeling at ease and would start believing every words his man would speak of.

    But why? Why do people still believed in promises despite it being bound to be broken, let alone the amount of pain it comes with? That’s what we want, reassurance that despite of life being imperfect and constantly changing we still believe for something firm and certain. What can we possibly do to reduce the amount of pain that promises once broken may cause us? Be patient and help that person feel that you support that promise as well, once plans changes and it may appear that a certain promise may take some more time to be fulfilled, trust the process. If things changes abruptly and unknown circumstances appears, help each other out.

    Promises are so good to be spoke of and to be given to someone dear to us, only that it does not guarantee us a smooth sailing journey before we can make it through. Relationships will be tested, just of a man would find other woman be attractive and of how a woman treats her man will definitely contribute into the fulfilment of any promises. There is no policy that the one who cast or make that promise should be the only one working on it. There has to be teamwork, enough support and an unbending faith be given.

    Beautiful promises are given out of love and excitement towards the future together and only with trust shall it be fulfilled.

  • Break or break it

    A piece of advice

  • Pale white wall

    Lifeless yet concrete. Bland but can be illusive. Nothingness of a blank space, picture perfect of life’s unknown phase. Emptiness in an eerie. A sheer dominance of pure nudity. Not much but rather a perfect art. Deafening silence displayed. Loud screams of peace. A pale and white wall says it all.

  • A rare sight…

    What do you complain about the most?

    Not seeing the moon shines in the vastness of dark skies.

  • Making peace out of your own inner peace…

    Like a phantom lurking in darkness, our inner demons are hiding within us just waiting to take over whenever we feel like giving up or have fell under chaos in the middle of nothingness. It feeds well whenever doubt arises, anxiety grows and self pity strikes. There is no escaping, it feels like you can run but you can’t hide kind of scenario. Walking wide awake in nightmare and having to go through isolation trying to figure what’s going on, the most unbearable kind of feeling anyone could come face to face with.

    There is no point in running away or keep denying the fact that we are facing something within us, and for most of the time people around us are the ones who usually triggers this demon. It feeds well with societal standards, baseless accusations, broken hearts, reciprocated love, outcasted and that situation where we are left thinking that even if we have tried our best and yet it wasn’t enough. That point in our life where we once have tried forcing our selves to fit in other people’s standards and tried harder to please them than of loving our selves.

    There is a limit to our capacity, may it be in our physical, emotional and mental aspect. The moment we exhaust our selves working or forcing something that has never even for once have returned the efforts and hard works we put up. It is the end of our inner peace, we will spend our daily suffering from tangled thoughts that seems to be so impossible to settle. An endless battle that compromises our inner peace and that requires ample amount of acknowledgement and validation.

    Having to deal with it would definitely make someone think that life is cruel and harsh, the worst part of the whole process is knowing that nobody cares of whether you make it or not or that of not having someone who somehow listens. The silence is deafening, days are longer and times sure moves slowly. Hoping that everything ends soon or at least that the pain would fade on its own, the desperate one longs for it the greater the frustration and desperation grows.

    A troubled mind is like an ocean beaten by the wind, disturbed and unsettled. It is difficult to appease a disturbed inner peace, to sail further one must learn to wait patiently for the wind to stop blowing. There are stages to consider to fully understand our selves, one of those stages are of which we must accept that we are hurting. Never turn your back to an aching heart or to a bothered thought, deal with it when the pain subsides or confront your thoughts. Have a moment with your own demon and instead of feeding it with your pain and anxiety, fight it without causing harm to your self.

    Make peace with your inner peace, make peace with your own self.

  • Undecided Interest

    What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

    Having an opportunity to play any sports must I say is the best thing anyone would wish, but it is not for me. I was not allowed to indulge in any of my interests, but I have been expose to Golf since I was young. Played once and I must say it is the best sports I wish I could have played more…was aboe to play free since my parents worked on this field. After that one time…no more.

    At School I’ve tried basketball, didn’t work out as well. Tried badminton, didn’t as well. Volleyball, the ball landed on my face. Sports is a must luxury, but not everyone has been given the opportunity. That I refer it to be an undecided interest of mine, for I never and was never allowed to decide of whether I wanted to play or not. I didn’t have the chance because I was not allowed to, I get to enjoy it during PE back then.

  • Unsociable Social Media

    From Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram and Twitter. There is nothing more fascinating than of how these four major social media platforms are dominating and winning over our youths. The need for gadgets rose and a lot more are spending time on social media than of reading books. Following the latest news of their favorite celebrities, scanning through socmed to find the hottest aesthetic items. Mind you, students aren’t excited in going to school the first day to wear their uniforms and shiny school shoes and meet their peers and have fun. Such excitement is now fueled with how teens are prying on whe wears the best OOTD – Outfit Of The Day and who lacks the trendy vibes, school campus are turned into young fashionistas who wishes to stand out amongst one another.

    There is nothing wrong about having to partake in such a competition, the younger they find interest in dressing well and grooming the better. However, with such societal standard social media is becoming more unsociable rather than sociable. I believe that the purpose of having these platforms is to help us all build a better community where everyone and anyone can connect with one another. Be able to freely express one’s self and making friends be more possible. Not only that we have these social medias, we do have a lot of online games such as MLBB, COD, DOTA and so on. Online games associated with sociable features such as private messaging and group messaging to help players or gamers communicate and make friends with fellow online game enthusiasts.

    Here’s a thing, the online platforms I mentioned above are quite trendy as such has lead us to more societal innovations. People found new ways to earn money by creating and posting video content of all sorts. Blogging was outshined by Vlogging and there are more and more participants aiming to achieve a more productive journey via social media. Instagram has become one of the many ways online sellers turned into to expand their market, while Twitter is dominating in a more freedom of expression kind of platform. Facebook for the meanwhile is on top of the choices. It has everything a socmed geek needs. As helpful as it has been, things are starting to change, social media at this very moment is becoming more and more unsociable.

    While teens are becoming more and more addicted to socmed, their attitudes and behaviors has been changing more in everyday. The flashy trend that Aesthetic items is associated with have created a gap in between teens and their peers. Exposure to online gamings have isolated children from their family as they tend to spend more time playing online than spending time with the family members, addiction to online games and being exposed to online dating has been one of the things that younger teens have been so busy with on their everyday. Twitter has turned into a battlefield of individuals who does not share the same views in every aspect of their lives. Instagram is quite the social media where fans can follow their favored celebrities and stalk them every day possible.

    The wall, the gap and differences has been growing rapidly in social media. People are becoming more and more bold and above all arrogant towards others whom they believed to be different or out of their league, it’s worst than of how both the Americans and Spaniards had set societal class and standards during those early years. The social media that used to be a place where people from different walks in life met has become a battlefield of which the purpose is to prove who fits and who doesn’t. Celebrities and public figures fighting over some petty stupid things, news are no longer informative nor educational as they stoop down low that they seem to have turned into tabloids.

    Teens were out-casted and bullied, older people are insulted and disrespected. One can no longer freely expresses self as they fear to be laughed and mocked by others, the then friendly community has become a perfect place for everyone who wishes to pick a fight with anyone at anytime. Cyberbullying, defamation, libel and more crimes has been committed in the social media world. The once a friendly and welcoming community is flooded with cruel people who causes harm to others, and it is killing the social media by making it unsociable.@braindrops21

  • Fatally Empty…

    It’s been weeks already since my head just won’t let me sleep, normally. A person couldn’t sleep due to some thoughts that are playing on his/her head, mine is different though. 

    I am this type of person who barely dream when asleep, no matter how hard I think of something or someone despirately it just never works. That I consider my sleeping nights to be empty, it’s all but shade of  my unconciousness being so unconcious that my subconcious couldn’t even get through.

    Recently, I am into this. No thoughts, nothing…but my head just won’t rest. I would stay up so late changing my position for several times, no matter how I do it. It doesn’t work. I am restless…due to this fatal emptiness I am. It’s like my head is running without any direction, it’s like drowing into an ocean of blank space.
