How can you just fucking wake up one day and feel empty? You wonder what caused it. Was it the dinner you had last night? Was it spoiled? Expired? Stretched out the best before date? You try to revive that feeling only to end up in deep misery. But you know what’s worse? You fucking know how to end it but you’re scared shit to do it. Because how do you end it, how do you end something that changed you and something you have been so used to? It hurts to hold on and try fucking hard to be reasonable when deep, deep inside you know you have to kill it before it kills you. It’s fucking cowardice to hold on because the sharp fangs of guilt is suffocating you. But really, what are you holding on to? The memories? Promises? Also, the pathetic reason of avoiding judgement from people around you.  It’s like having that urge to vomit after eating a $30 meal. You try to keep it in but it only makes you feel worse inside. You fucking keep it in for what you think is its worth. It’s pathetic! You keep questioning yourself why you keep on prolonging the agony.   But really, how do you end it? How do you end something like this? Or is it reasonable enough to stay just to etch away that feeling of guilt? Because you’d only end up hurting yourself. Masochism? Does it still make sense? Or will it ever make sense? But really, why am I still trying to hold on when I know that it has been dead before I even admitted it point blank? How am I supposed to move on when I can’t even let go of what has been dead a long time? When you’re nonchalantly trying to live like how everything is supposed to be. It’s pathetic!

The last quarter of 2017 unexpectedly had a surprising plot twist. 

I have been asking for a serious turn of events since forever and I guess this has got to be it. It happened so fast that I still cannot totally grasp it. All I know is that it really left me overwhelmed. I sometimes even think that I do not deserve all of this because I know to my very core that I am not a nice person. I did not even let people know about it because I got so scared that if gets spread out and everybody finds out, it would not push through. I do have that way of thinking, not to tell anybody unless it is 100% confirmed and happening. Only my family and boyfriend were in the know.

I hustled silently to go through it. I even had to tell excuses and lies as to why I have been spontaneously filing for VL at work. I was that scared, not only because of my negative thinking , but also because of the people who I know will have a lot of negative things to say about me. I didn't want to hear these people judge me based on my lifestyle; that I have gotten this far only because we are able to afford it. The reason never being - because she worked hard for it or maybe she is smart enough to be qualified. These people will just choose to dwell on their insecurities and instead of a good pat in your back, they opt to stab you; because the latter will feed their egos more, thinking that they are still better.

It's actually really funny that some of them felt offended when they found out that I chose to keep this as a secret. Am I obliged to share every little thing that's going on in my life just to satisfy your futility? Haven't you done enough stabbing? Have I not bled enough unconsciously?

I am off to start a new chapter of my life and I hope that you will not be a part of it anymore. 

I worked and prayed hard for whatever is coming next. 

If you think this post is about you, it probably is. If the shoes fits, feel free to wear it.
