That same old empty feeling

Sometimes, there’s just that empty feeling that creeps into you, that same old empty feeling in your heart. You can’t seem to know where it comes from and when you feel it you just seem to miss someone or something you don’t even know. Because you miss the cities you have never been, the people you have never met, the books you have never read.

When everything is doing just fine, you feel it and that’s when you tend to be sad and down for no particular reason. It’s normal to be sad at times but making that sadness your home is the worst part. You tend to shut everything up thinking that you can do it alone because no one understands and no one wants to be by your side. And that’s the thing. You never let anyone near so how could they understand? You always think about what others might say. Why? You spend your life worrying about the things that could’ve happen and the things that had happen and the “What Ifs” are always there. You have to learn to love yourself because you’re your own hero and villain. Don’t ever think that crying is for the weak and speaking up will make you look like an attention seeker because these two will make you feel better. Don’t be disappointed or annoyed when people say “Ok lang yan.” or “Magiging ok din ang yan.” Because it’s true, Ok lang yan, you’ll get through it. Magiging ok din yan, because as time passes by you'll learn and you'll know how to fix the broken pieces. So, appreciate and be happy when someone says these to you.

When you feel that empty feeling, just breathe. You have it hard at times and that’s ok. There will be times when you’ll tend to breakdown but that’s alright, it just means that after all you’ve been through you can still feel and it means that there’s still hope in you. You’ll see the sun rise and set, you’ll get to walk under the rain, you’ll be able to see new movies and most of all you’ll be able live. Just remember to breathe.
