words from the wise(r)

You talk like you're so old.  You're only what, 24?"

Yeah.  After everything that's happened, I sometimes feel very old.  But maybe that's what I have to rid myself of–the baggages and the "Thinking Too Much" syndrome.  Like Meredith who sees herself "dark and twisty" (syempre, talagang kelangan i-relate sa Grey's Anatomy!), I sometimes feel too damaged.  I remember telling Porshee over lunch, "Will I ever find a guy who will be patient enough to understand where I'm coming from? Someone who will tolerate the fragility of my emotions after everything I've gone through?"  Now that I think about it, though, the world doesn't owe me their understanding.  Yeah, of course, I need some leeway here but instead of the universe slowing down and waiting for me to get over my past, I should get back on track and keep up with the pace.  Am  I making sense?  No?  I thought so.  I don't understand myself either.  I guess everything's too clogged up and messy and the only way to really, really bounce back is to start from scratch again.  (more…)
