stand up
It has been a sad day.
No one's to blame; I know they couldn't always be there. They have needs, problems, and struggles of their own, too. Just like me.
And right now, I guess I'm being taught to give to people whom I expected to receive from.
Even if I don't like it, there comes a time when people have to step up. If not for myself, then at least for others who matter to me.
Even if I'm not sure if my own knees will hold, I've got to get up and help others to stand as well.

I can't believe it's been such a long time already since I wrote that post. Looking back, I now realize that I've gotten it all wrong. On hindsight, the answer to the problem wasn't really about stepping up. Stepping up for Whom? To what end? Those are the questions that matter.
Stepping up for myself? To show that I'm strong? That I'm able? Or simply, that I could do it? That was my mistake. I've learned to stand up and be dependent at the same time, paradoxical as that may seem. The previous sem gave me a lot of hard lessons that I need to learn from and put into personal practice.
I wonder what this semester has in store for me.Labels: inside the self |

| About Me |

Name: remrick
Home: Surigao City, Philippines
About Me: Let me tell you what I'm not:
I am not predisposed to bare my guts and soul here in the internet for the whole world to see just for the sake of it. It's just that I like writing, in the free and unstructured way that blogging provides for. I simply want to express what I think and feel. Is that too much to ask? Which leads me to my next point...
I am not invulnerable, in spite of all my attempts to put on a face of cool composure, and desperately wanting I was good enough to fool myself.
In short, I am not really what I seem.
So, would you still take my ramblings seriously?
