Don’t Run

It’s been a while since I wrote something. I am not sure why. But like most of the things that aren’t truly realized, it is because of fear. I am scared. There are things in my life that are being triggered every time I write something. Things that I ignore, things that I hide in the closet, things that I don’t really want to be put in to light. Then, I realized that there is one thing that I used to be good at. I was so good at running away. Running away from something or someone did not mean that I don’t like them. For me, it was the other way around. I was so good in running away whenever I really really liked something. This was so true especially with me dealing with people. The more I like a person, the more I had the tendency to leave them. The more I know that they were good for me, I run. It was like I had this formula that whenever I see something that I like, the initial response should be to decline. Unconsciously, I was able to apply this idea to my relationships. And I just hope that I get to completely heal with this “label” that I and my past experiences were able to put on me. I want to be more expansive and be at my best. But I just can’t be able to do that if I keep on running away and somehow rejects the offer that the universe gives me. I don’t want to be scared anymore because I might miss out on blessings that are meant to be for me. I want to get to a point in my life where I get excited to receive good things because I deserve them. I want the running away to stop and accepting to begin. I want to not be afraid anymore. I want to receive. I want to be happy. Completely.

Dati ganito ako , yung bigla na lang lalayo sa kaibigan or sa special someone pag alam kong love ko na sya. Yung tipong bigla ka na lang magiging cold sa kanila. Kasi natatakot akong baka pag pinakita ko na talaga yung care and love ko sa kanila sila yung biglang magbago at ako yung maiwan kaya advance ako mag isip, inuunahan ko na para hindi ako masaktan , lalayo na lang ako sa kanila habang hindi pa ganun ka lalim yung love ko sa kanila. Then I realized na dapat pala hindi ako matakot maiwan at masaktan, okay lang na ipakita ko yung love and care ko sa kanila habang andyan pa sila sa paligid ko kesa sa dulo…

writing is indeed therapeutic. it makes us confront what bothers us or what keeps us hiding in our comfort zone. :)
