Friends - Nicka Arriola

I love my friends because they’re always there when I need them. They make me happy. They are like sisters from another mother. They join me in my craziness. They don’t leave me through my ups and downs.

My friends loves me unconditionally, understand me, but never judges me and always tries to support me and give me good advice. My friend is someone whom I feel comfortable with and can easily share my thoughts and feelings.

My Friends will leave all their important works but will never leave me alone, especially in my difficult times.  That is why it is said a friend in need is a friend indeed. My friends let me experience how to live a life in a different way.

I Love my friends because they will always be there when you need someone. Difficult times are the best time to realize who your friends are. It does not matter how many friends you have, what matters is how many true friends you have. It’s a relation of love and affection towards other people.

Depression - Ays Guevarra

People think depression is about being sad. They think it’s just when you feel down, but it’s not. It’s a feeling of numbness, emptiness and hollowness that seems to never leave you. It’s like darkness that creeps over you and fills you. It takes everything from you, and leaves you feeling hollow and numb. It’s not sadness, it’s not anger, it’s hopelessness. It is a mixed feeling of loneliness and frustration so intense that it drains all of your emotions.

Things that used to make you feel happy or make you smile produce a weak response or nothing. Likewise, things that should provoke you to get angry or even cry result in an emotionless response. It is a lack of emotion where there once was emotion. I feel that this symptom results from feeling overloaded by life’s challenges to the point where you just can’t feel anymore. You are too tired to emote because you don’t care. It can be the process of shock where we simply cannot take in the emotional reality of what is going on. The mind is protecting itself from too much pain.

When you abandon yourself by judging yourself, ignoring your feelings by staying in your head, numbing your feelings through addictions, you will feel empty. You are causing your own emptiness by your self-abandonment. Your wounded self may see you as inadequate, unlovable, not good enough, not important, selfish, bad and wrong.

Losing something or someone that is important to your life makes you suddenly feel incomplete. Like something is not there and you keep finding the missing piece but you can’t so you get depressed. Both of you and your happiness are gone leaving yourself in abyss-like scar inside. Like there is a huge gaping hole inside of you and nothing can fill that.

School Life - Juda Marbellagas

School life is a memorable event in my life because it composed of happy and sad memories. The happy day that I remember is when I was in grade school being one of the naughtiest kids in our class who do whatever he wants to do. Having a Math teacher who will do anything just for you to understand the lesson, making it enjoyable and understandable for the whole class. Entering the High school level and having a “Mom” Type advisor who will always be there for you advising you for the problems that you have and teaching us all the necessary things that we should know in our life.

 The sad memories is when I enter the High School level at the same school when I was in Grade School while most of the close friends that I have, transferred to a different school. Surrounded by many unfamiliar faces and you don’t even know how to start a conversation to them. It takes a while for me to adapt to a new environment I surround in. And the graduation ceremony is coming near again; the happy moments that we share to one another will come to an end. Ending and Starting a new Journey of our life.

Losing and gaining another friends and knowing new people is just a part of our life. People come and go as our day flows. But does time that we spent with them will not be wasted and will always be remembered because they are the one who makes who you are today.

Most Complicated Creatures on Earth - Glecis Nonescan

Human beings are the highest and most advance form of animals. Even though they are not the creator of their own specie, they still do things to make their selves better. Sometimes they also do things that can destroy them. They are not simple. In fact, they are complicated and complex in definition, emotion, mental capacity and doing things. Human beings are complex organisms−they are capable of loving even though they’ve been hurt lot of times; they can feel one, two or more emotions at the same time and they can be the most kind and evil creatures on earth.

They still love and care for people who betrayed them or caused them pain. Human’s significant other is someone whom they share intimacy, passion and commitment to. They are someone who should be a human’s life partner in the future. They share each other’s life goals and try to achieve it together. When their significant other hurt them, cheated, broadcast their deepest secrets to others or ignore them they give forgiveness. They forgive and forgive. They keep on forgiving even though the one who caused the pain do not deserve it. Sometimes, they still let them in. It is a foolish act because there is a big chance that they will get hurt again but they cannot help it because it is natural for humans to forgive people they love. Friends are the not blood-related family. Human’s bond to their friends is wonderful. They are not biologically related at all but their relationship and connection to one another is one of a kind and priceless like a highly valuable treasure. Their memories and life adventures are mostly shared with friends. Some humans are closer to their friends than to their family. Just like a treasure, that bond is also fragile. Once it is broken, no matter how hard they fix it, it cannot go back to how it was before. There are times when misunderstanding and quarrel between friends occur. Backstabbing, it is when they say bad things about their friends or share their secrets to others behind their back, can happen. This can cause ending of a friendship that was once great and beautiful. Even though the friendship is over, the love for that someone who used to be a friend is still there so they forgive each other but they cannot go back to how things were. They still got each other’s back but they cannot be how they used to be. A human’s family is a person or group of persons who are the first one to take care of them since they were born. They can be blood-related or not. They are human’s first teacher/s. Humans learned the basic way of counting, reading, writing and values from their family. They live with them until the right age to be separated from home. Because of the human’s family’s love for them, they wanted the best for them. Nothing but the best. Sometimes until to the point when they control the human’s life to make sure that they will have the best−their friends, school, course, love life, job, and other life choices. This way of showing love can also lead to a feeling of hatred. Who wanted their life to be controlled by someone other than their self? Of course no one, unless they do not care what will happen. So, someone whose life is being controlled by others can hate that other person even if he is a family member. If they disobey, they might be disowned. It is really painful to be let down by their family because they are the one who is really trusted and they were there since humans were born. If disowned, the feeling of emptiness can be felt. Even though humans were hurt because of their own family, they still love them, silently care for them by watching them from afar and sometimes they ask for forgiveness even if it is not entirely their fault.  

They can feel two or more contrasting emotions at the same time. Humans are familiar of the bittersweet feeling. The word says it all−bittersweet−it is when something makes them feel sweet and bitter at the same time. It could be seeing someone they love, be happy and in love with someone else. It feels bitter because someone very dear to them−their happiness and love interest−love someone else. They cannot do anything about it because they cannot control the feelings and emotions of others. They cannot just command them to adore them because love is not something that can be forced. It also feels sweet because someone they love is happy with the company of someone else. At least someone they care about is happy. Human’s happiness is the happiness of someone they love even though it can ruin or destroy them. Humans also know the feeling combination of anger, pain, betrayal and sadness. This is common to married couples whose spouse is guilty of cheating. Of course the first thing that they will feel when they knew that their spouse is cheating is anger. Someone they knew for a long time, someone they decided to spend the rest of their life is guilty of cheating. They will feel angry because they did a great job to make them look like a fool then the feeling of pain, betrayal and sadness will follow. They will feel very down because someone they greatly trust had betrayed them. Humans are also familiar of the excited-nervous feeling. This can happen during graduation or going to a new place. They are excited because as a chapter of their life ends, a new one is about to begin. It could be the beginning of their grade school, high school, college or career life. The thought of new people, environment and journey to experience excites them but the thought of encountering them makes them nervous because they do not know how to act around a new environment and they are afraid that people will judge them quickly.

They do the most affectionate and merciless acts. Human’s has a special bond to animals. Although humans are superior to animals, they do things to make their lives better by making a shelter where they can adopt animals, being a veterinarian, buying them clothes, food, vaccines and other necessities. Sometimes animals especially pets become a part of a human’s family. There are also humans who do merciless things to animals like in Lychee and Dog Meat Festival, commonly referred to as Yulin Dog Meat Festival, an annual celebration held in Yulin, Guangxi, China which festival goers eat dog meat and lychees. They burn alive dogs and then eat them. There are several campaigns to stop the festival and more than 3,000,000 people have signed petitions. This act is not only happening in China but also around the world. In the Philippines, people capture endangered animals like the Pawikan because its shell is used as a decorative material. No specie is safe because rare animals are being caught to be exotic pets and they cost a lot at the black market. In a human’s world, there is always a bad side to a good side and a good side to a bad side. If there are people who sacrificed many years of their life to save others (doctor, soldier, nurse, veterinarian, surgeon, etc), there are people who end others’ lives. As doctors try so hard to prolong a patient’s life as a profession, there are some who kill for a living.

Love Paradox - Veronica Mendoza

Love is a very wonderful feeling where we can feel those butterflies in our stomachs, the loud beatings of our heart, and slow motion of everything. I remember it so well. I remember the stolen stares, the short eye contacts, the three AM conversations, the loud laughter, and the little things that can make me happy for the whole day despite of every wrong turn of events. Love is an open door where everyone can enter wholeheartedly and leave with a broken heart, a place that can be a paradise and a black hole at the same time.

 One can enter with all his heart yet leave with nothing but a piece of its broken pieces. Anyone can enter easily yet no one leaves too fast. It’s a door where only time and acceptance can be the key, a phase where you can’t move on whenever you want because love isn’t as easy as a, b, c. People can either enter voluntarily or enter unconsciously. They just wake up one day feeling it. The thing about love is we can’t decide what happens next. We cannot control the emotions and even the future. Falling in love doesn’t give us the security that person we fell for will fall with us. Sometimes we have to accept that we can’t have everyone we love, even if we gave everything to them. If we’re not enough then we’re not enough after realizing that they move on to find someone better, that someone who can be their “enough” and we can never change that fact.

 Love can either be a paradise and a black hole at the same time. It is surely confusing. It can make you feel the joy and pain at the same time. A paradise if that person loves us back because that feeling is like having all the things that we need and we want in our hands, and a black hole if he finds someone else. He did a wrong thing, yes. But that won’t take the love away, it would still be there even if it hurts too much being replaced by that new person in his life. A black hole because no matter what you do, you have to set him free, and setting him free means living in a black hole: a total darkness with no one else in it, until you finally move on.

  We may find ourselves in love but can also lose ourselves during the process because love leads to two things: inspiration or destruction. But the time we accept our defeat in the said battle, it’s time for us to start a new beginning wherein we’ll come back to love. It’s an unending cycle not until we find the right one.
