Seven Wonders

I have a thing with thoughts and word count. They’re challenging—forces you to rack your brain to create an idea that may be short with words but deep in meaning. Aside from the distinct ways on how we interpret things, it also gives the readers freedom to think beyond what’s given, to personalize what’s written in such a way that it touches the very core of their feelings, their emotions.

Today, I have listed down seven thoughts with just seven words each. Hence, the Seven Wonders: Khalil Gibran once said that people will never understand one another unless language is reduced to seven words. What would your seven words be?

Now don’t expect too much. They are not on the inspiring side as what I’ve perceived it’s supposed to be from the prompt and this post is even categorized as Bitter, so.

• The silence is never comforting. It’s scary.

• You immortalized my sorrow without permission.

• Love wrapped in indifference. The most problematic.

• Ask only if you will listen wholeheartedly.

• The lies I rehearse are the sweetest.

• She didn’t look back. He understood why.

• Love still makes the world go round.

a quote a day, 3

It’s okay to be hurting as much as you are; what you are feeling is not only completely valid, but necessary—because it makes you so much more human.

– Lang Leav

This quote is from Lang Leav’s Broken Hearts. Even though we have reserved an unsuspected strength that comes out when we most need them, it’s still okay to be hurting as much as we are. We are not made of steel, we are not robots, we are humans. And it makes us capable of hurting or in being so much pain, but yes, that’s necessary.

When I turned 20, I found that I was more emotional, so I actually started to allow myself to cry as much as I need to when my heart is heavy. (I just did this morning.) And I think that in order for us to move on, or at least try to, we need to hurt as much first. Because now that we know how pain feels like, we will do anything not to get back on that same situation again.

a quote a day, 1

This quote was from the film Nymphomaniac by Lars Von Trier. When Joe said this, I believe it’s not just for the nymphos, but all of us who the society thinks have sinned too much. I demand more for my life. I am not satisfied with where I am currently standing. And most of you, if not all, are the same as me. We want more; we need more. And I know all of us are already sinners, but if this is the only sin, if demanding for more is the only sin in the world, I think there’ll be less pointing fingers and more comforting one another.

The Cracks We Get

I’d like to believe that there are already cracks around me, but I’m still in the course of the test. I know that I will get through this, but I’m not sure when. On the following months, I’m anticipating more blows. And I hope not to fall apart.

There are days when you feel hopeless. Everything around you is fading into view, slowly getting away and out of hand. You have no appetite on times like that, and all you do is think. Bad ones. No one could talk to you because even looking at the person’s eyes feels like you’re exerting a lot of effort. You look for distractions, but watching crime thrillers or reading romantic novels doesn’t work anymore. You console yourself that you will be better tomorrow for you’ve already slept. But you know that’s a joke. Because a one night’s sleep would not take away the problem, it will just make you forget for a short while.

These cracks are like the scars we get. It didn’t kill us, but they serve as a reminder that we were strong enough to get over something. And the great part is, we continue to be stronger.
