Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Retract

August 30, 2014. Saturday. 8:56 P.M. Hello blogger. It feels like a very long time, like forever, since we talked last. I really missed the tranquility in each of our spiritual dialogues. The voice of my subconscious which speaks only truth that cannot be broken. The rhythm of my breathing inhaling what life brings me and exhaling the pressure of processing them. The pulsating blood in my veins from the unstoppable pounding of this willful heart against my chest, keeping me alive and kicking, even when I feel like breaking. My bones feel fragile, and my limbs feel like dry leaves leaving an old dying tree. I have aged fast lately. Blogger, I am awfully overwhelmed tonight with everything and everyone. I feel like I am losing the brand of myself. I want to retract myself back in, distant from work, school, family, friends,… I want to be with myself, to have conversations in silence. I want myself in one piece, without anything to process for a moment. In these last few weeks, it became a struggle to keep myself intact. It feels like, I have no choice but to be drawn to every direction, all at the same time. I feel myself all over the place.
I don’t even know where to start now. All I know is I need you, blogger. You are me. And I know you understand me better than anyone else in the world. I confide to you, all the time. I am sorry I cannot hold my tears now, betraying me, clouding my sight and flooding my cheeks.
There is two Saturdays left before this trimester is over and I am supposed to be working on a business plan now but I prefer to sit and deal with this dilemma, to gain some sense of wholeness. I think I am having enough of everything and I need to unload or I will explode. There are 4 members in my group’s business plan and unfortunately it became stressful because one of them attacked the other instead of confronting her in a constructive way. Well, they need to develop more their self-management. Graduate school is about self-development (soul) anyway, and of course, critical-thinking development (mind). Thus, everyone is being introduced to different scenarios. It is funny though how they handle it, instead of resolving it, they get very personal then later hold grudges against each other. That is just so immature. Now I have to absorb their childishness, pacify things and stand-up for my group to constantly monitor activities to make sure everything is in synced. We are such a mess without me holding us closer to work together and meet our goal. It’s taking some of my valuable time and energy and I can’t wait for this business plan to be over and disperse the group.
Since I got back from Desiry’s wedding last June, I had been running all over the place, juggling everything, leaving a bit of me here and there. I had to bear freezing my gym membership for my sake! I had it frozen until December, otherwise I will go nuts, if not nutty-nut, I will be sick from exhaustion and fatigue. So I had to declare ‘’Stop-for-now’’ which saddens me somehow. Then I got busy with work due to my leave days. Class presentations to prepare and present. Friend’s requests which unfortunately I couldn’t accommodate them all but as always I am glad to be able to be virtually available anytime. Then I met Ian. He should be in my next post. Then my parents came over for their first ever trip together, which was organized and accompanied by me. It was a lot of fun and felt so nice to see them together, enjoying and annoying each other. ‘’We don’t stop playing because we are old. We grow old because we stop playing.’’ ^__^.
Emm… I think I can be able to sleep now. I just needed to whine a little, which I am deprived of lately. Thank you, blogger ^__^.
