Two posts in one day may be a little too much but it's already 12:03 am & technically it's another day :) So there I was looking at my Facebook news feed & something got my attention.(I prefer to not talk about what happened because I think I have no right) It got me thinking about how sometimes when someone you know is going through a very hard time & you know they are hurting bad, you wanna console them but you're afraid you might not be able come up with the right words or worse end up saying something stupid which might hurt them more. You can just imagine what they are going through but you cannot know what it's like to be in that exact situation, you cannot imagine the degree of pain their heart must be holding in. Wish I could do something, wish I had words to tell you but all that I am capable to say is a faint "take care" :/
OK, so that was me talking about "someone we know" but what if "that someone" suffering is someone close to us ? Someone we love so much, someone we care about, someone so dear that seeing them is pain makes your heart feel like it's been crushed. Sometimes I hate the fact that I am just a human with no
magical powers. When bad things happen to people I love, when I see them in
pain, all that I can do is sit there and watch. Being there is NOT good enough.
I feel a heavy weight on my chest. The thought that I am incapable to help
them, makes it hard to breathe at times. Once again, I find no words to tell them......inside I scream "I wish I could take your pain away" and outside I smile and try not to show, it's killing me inside. I get so angry at times but then have this faith that if God gives you pain, he makes you strong enough to bear it. I pray, I pray everyday & hope slowly he is going to fix everything. Faith is all that keeps me going.
You know how you see someone with that sad look on their face & in a minute they start complaining about how they have a crappy life. I’ve seen people do this & I always wonder “WHY?”. If
you let a bad thing turn your day into a bad day & your bad day make you
feel like you have a bad life, then you’re nothing but stupid. But at times I end up being the stupid one.
Bad feelings are powerful, they can make the happiest day seem like a
nightmare. We humans have this habit of looking at the bad side of the
situation, instead of working things out we tend to sit down and mourn about what
went wrong, why it went wrong, how it went wrong, bla bla bla. Is it even worth it ? Why can’t we simply let it go as what’s done is done, it cannot be changed & why
ruin the rest of the day thinking about it ? Every time I’m in a situation like
this, I tell myself how I am stronger than this “bad feeling”, how I won’t let
it drag me down, I put on a smile and enjoy the rest of my day. It’s not a easy
job but ones you get used to it, you’ll love the feeling.
And trying to look at the positive side, we actually need bad things to happen so that we can truly cherish the goodness of good things(if you know what I mean). Each day is a gift,
we have an uncertain future so remember that every minute you stay sad, you lose 60 seconds of happiness J
Feel blessed Stay happy & keep reading my blog posts [>.^] xoxo
