I've been sitting here for 40 minutes and I've read all the posts in this blog and my old blogs. That's all I've been doing.
I am home alone eating gummy bears. If I post too many things that do not have anything and common or aren't related at all in whatsoever way, pardon me. I am bored. I have the right to be a scatter-brain right now.
Besides, I haven't blogged in a long time and things run through my mind like ALL the time. So, I have to blog a lot in this post.
Funny, time goes by like really fast. Hazel would say, killer. It really is a killer. I swear. So much has happened, so many things are over and done with. So many moments and times lost.
I'm happier.
Like, seriously, in my first blog post, October 2001, things were different. Waay different. Different country, different friends, different someone, different everything.
Then I read the posts in my second blog. I actually created my second blog because I needed something new. I needed a different "now" back then. My second blog is happier.
I've become a happier person:) I mean, okay. I was really happy in Rome. Everything was so bright and sunny there. I had great friends. Then I moved back to the Philippines and I kept my Rome friends, I have new ones now and I'm happier. Moving back made me realize how important it is to keep the friends who really matter and who are really always there for me, treasure them and love the new ones as well. BUT. That's not my point. I am happier. I read my life in the past two year and, I am actually happier. Seriously. I'm happy. Like, the fact that I'm not with my old barkada anymore. I love my friends now, especially my new barkada. I miss them more often then I've missed friend whom I've seen like hours ago. Really. Everything about my now is happy.
My LJ blog is only there for rants. I don't think people even know I have one. Well, I do. Go look for it if you must.
Seriously?
Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if your past hadn't happened the way it did? Like something small that you've forgotten about, something that could have made your life different? Or someone who did not enter your life at all? What if one of those people you see everyday or hear from everyday, what if they weren't there? What do they really mean to you and how different would you be without them? The people you depend on, the people you care about, what if one day, you wake up and they aren't there anymore. What if they've changed? If for some reason, they aren't them. How would your life be?
Reading my previous blog posts and everything, I saw all the people who've meant so much to me in the past year up till now. For most of them, I realized that if they hadn't come into my life I wouldn't be me. Seriously. You really meet everyone for a reason. Regardless of whether they make you happy or not, hurt you or love you, keep you company when you've got nothing to do, pick on you and make your life miserable, all these people are here for some bloody reason that most of the time, you don't figure out till they're gone.
When you want something bad enough, the universe conspires to help you get it.
How true is that?
There are certain things that we don't have control of, and yet, there are things that I do not want to change. There are days and moments that I want to last forever. There are people I want to hold on to forever. But I'm eighteen. So much can happen. I've got so much to do. People don't always stick by you, right? There are always a few who slip away. Just like sand, the harder you hold on to it, the more gets away. What if it's too hard to not hold on to someone so much? How do you not let them slip away? Even if people say they'll always be there. Even they can't prove that. How do you not lose someone? And when new things come along, when other forms of happiness and whatever come along, how do you let them in your life when you feel that every thing's already set and steady and calm?
I seriously need to not think for a while and study. Being home alone and sitting out staring at the starless sky makes you think of a billion and one things.
