What about me?
We might not openly tell it to others but I know deep inside ours we ask the question ‘What about me?’ Of course, Filipinos are known to be likely introvert and timid so we tend to hide what we really feel and shut our mouth from telling it. But not all have the characteristic to shut their mouth especially when the issue requires us to give opinion on something essential. Definitely, I am one of those babbly fellow who prefer speaking the "truth" (it’s relative in some cases depending on our perspectives) unminding the consequences that may or may not take place after spitting the hardly strong worded statements. Alas, truth really bites! But sometimes we have to be very very courageous to pull our strength to say the things that we think need to be spoken for a good reason. This is how I was raised by my family. My mom is a living legend-character who chooses to be heard rather than keeps things the way it is.
And so..I ask the question..’what about me?’. Yes, I feel like I deserve to have the things I ask. But I do not wish to say that I am being egocentric as many people know that I am never such a type. My clamor for stability and security is the first thing that I would like to have. But don’t get me wrong…it’s not about money, nor fame, nor any materialistic things. I am thinking of more than these valuables.
What more I am asking for…genuine friendship! Not those people who used to like me because I have something for their advantage..Never to those who sit beside me and talk sweet words on me just to fish compliment from me…no way to people who appears to be outstandingly nice at me but stab me at my back!
For 26 years of existence in this world..I have only realized that I have very few friends whom I could consider to be "true". These are the people who inspires me to reach out more to others. They are one of the factor why I keep on believing that life may seems hard but a gentle tap from a friend’s hand will ease your day.
Now, I want more of this type of homo sapiens who knows how to care and who really listen to me. A person who just look at me in the eyes (with no malice at all o(^+^)o) and understand the battles I am fighting. Will sincerely and devotedly care for me and knows how to cheers me up. Howbeit, I dunno if I could ever find another one…Haay! Sigh!
Anyways, I am keeping my faith! Au revoire!
