My Friend, Sadness

Too many of us regard sadness as the greatest enemy ever existed, always trying our very best not to look awfully stressed about something and maintain the “happy” face no matter what the situation we are in. For some of us, looking sad and lonely doesn’t seem appealing to others, thus making us seem problematic and not easy to be with. But have we pondered on how do we really see sadness?…

“I was strung out on some really f---ing heavy drugs and I was really young and I was driving my car and I blacked out. I woke up driving in a field, down a dirt road, in the middle of a farm. I didn’t know how I got there. It was crazy. I was remembering this constant f---ing battle I have with myself, this constant cycle I couldn’t see at that time where these choices and these behaviours and where this journey would take me in my life. But when I was a guy in my 20s getting out of it, I didn’t realise I’d have these problems for my whole life. I didn’t think I’d be in one of the biggest bands in the world with a beautiful family at 41 going ‘F---, I could have easily have blacked out driving my car again two months ago’. It’s a dark song, it’s a reality check for me. The chorus is the insanity of my situation — ‘I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight”. It’s f---ing crazy.”

GENUINE FRIENDS: A GREAT TREASURE

GENUINE FRIENDS: A GREAT TREASURE

It was 2009 when I started my high school journey and crossed paths with my now best friends. All four of us went to the same high school and were surrounded by mostly the same people all throughout the four years we’ve studied there.

When I was a freshman, I did not belong to the same class with my three best friends. I used to have a bad reputation before and I was popularly hated by many…

The country has been placed in different forms of community quarantine since late March. Some parts of the Philippines are again recently placed under enhanced community quarantine due to the still arising cases of the corona virus. Our health, safety, security and sanity have all been under much challenge these days.

The long months of quarantine have been…

in the serene night of thirteenth

came as unexpectedly as a thief

a news that spreads

my dearest friend's gone

I felt nothing, empty

as I cried and cried...

she took an unlikely path

dove headfirst to the afterlife

hurt herself

choked herself

she brought with her were burdens

storms she tried to conceal

numbness crept in me

wanna believe this is part of a dream,

of a nightmare I so long to avoid

but the truth has slapped my reverie

she's already left

this vicious world at her own risk

and as late as it may seem

I looked for signs I may have missed

on her twitter she'd said

"I'd be making a choice,

most people won't comprehend

but I know someday it'd make sense"

on her journal were hurtful truths

that she was molested, threatened,

by a man she never named

and for years, she conceded

from every hour and every minute

of a constant battle with depression

she felt no way of escape

no worthy person to confide

and she kept it all within

she coped through what she think's best

but it all ended...

tears falling, heart breaking

she left as eager as she could

and I slowly understood

how her life might've been a mess

how tired she'd really been

living and surviving

she took her life

her choice and her escape

for the last moment,

all I could do is accept

I lost my dear friend

but never the love I always have

from what she'd been through

she was the bravest

and I'll always believe this

for I will never completely know

how horrible she felt

when a man took her away

from herself and from her liberty

to be who she would truly be.

I think too deeply about everything. I still don't know if that allows me to see more of the world, or less of it.

I'm so sorry if you're in this position right now, but I believe in you, you can get through this, just like I have. It does get better, you've just gotta hang on peeps!

if you think almost relationships aren't heartbreaking, you're wrong. it's painful to love someone for a short period of time and lose him forever. it's like letting go of something you never really had—it's the feeling of longing for that person for a lifetime. it doesn't matter if it only lasted for a week or a month, but the feelings will always be there, the happiness and love you shared will always haunt you everyday.

You know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music.

You left your kisses hanging on my mouth, but you didn’t really care if I returned them, for you were merely a passing stranger I was meant to cross paths with only once.
