Everybody Hurts…Sometimes!
The past couple of months have been rough for me and for some people I know. It’s kind of morbid...well it is true in a sense...it felt like “death season”, literally!Some people I’ve known and been closed to for years have either decided to live far away, work somewhere else, or maybe retired early and moved elsewhere, or got seriously sick, or worst, leave us all behind permanently and joined The Big Kahuna above.
I have also seen someone cried for help just because the one person being loved so much for so many years has decided to move on without the one that truly exhibit the presence, the love, and the passion that one brings to the relationship.
Oh well, who said life is fair? Everybody hurts...sometimes!
You could argue that some of the tears flowing down their cheeks are tears of joy because one had seen better opportunities elsewhere and leaving someone behind, geographically speaking, is a sure sign of better things financially, professionally or otherwise for those who chose to leave.
It could also be that leaving an empty space in one’s heart is an indication of true love and happiness the other have found with someone else...even at the expense of hurting someone once loved.
Or maybe...just maybe, that even though someone had died, we could feel it’s for the good of that passing individual because the pain and suffering living in this sometimes cruel and crazy world has finally ended. Some may have even envied them for dying just because...
But then I think those tears are mostly tears of sadness.
Losing someone by any means will definitely bring at least a drop of tears just because one can never fight that uncontrollable streams rolling down our faces. It’s really a tough world out there but what are all those tears mean anyway to those who were left behind? Anyone of us at one point in our lives had experienced such a lost.
Losing someone we love, be it from moving to foreign land, living a new life with someone else, or finally joining the One above; it can all definitely break our heart!
For some, the weakest moment has arrived. But life goes on...
The constant good thing about all of us no matter how painful the experience can be is the determination to fight back is always there even if we can no longer see the blue skies above because of the mists and hovering clouds forming in our sights and minds.
Those tears don’t mean someone is losing the trust, the faith, the hopes, the dreams; and certainly not losing the religion we all get strength from when we needed the most. At any given time we can always turn to Him.
Like I said, everybody hurts sometimes...so just slug it out Chuck!

Under normal circumstances, I will definitely agree with you Mr. Webmaster. In fact, this REM song is one of my anthems when I’m down and out (like “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House). But somehow, right here and right now I have this strangest feeling that I can not relate. You know why? Because I hurt someone with what I have done. I was the one who inflicted the pain and the anger that he feels. He might not have cried tears over me and what I did but all the words he uttered were enough to tell me that I am the cause of his grief.
I don’t want to leave him, I HAVE to leave him for reasons he tells me he understands. But he says it’s not the right time. He doesn’t want me because he still NEEDS me, he says. What good is a relationship if it’s on a need-be basis? He’ll be crippled, he said. I am a mere fish in the fishpond, really. And yet, neither his words nor pleas will make me stay. I didn’t shed a tear. Like most men, I don’t think his pride and masculinity will make him ever cry either over my loss. I am nothing, really. Still, he is definitely hurt, and I was the cause.
my oh my , this particular anonymous is quite intruiging ,her words seems so full of emotions , { what if she turns out to be a he? , he heh he , just kidding , dont mind it}well kabatchmate ka naman , how about pouring this thing over a bottle of wine , good melancholic music, & us on the side , shoulder to cry on ba? wow , egay , ibang klase ito , well ganyan ang buhay , parang life!
like you anonymous, anyone of us can be at the other end of the stick, in the bottom not the top, nang-iiwan or iniiwanan, you get the point! :-) but clearly, we all seek better things for ourselves, follow our own convictions, our own happiness.
Life goes on no matter what. When one leaves, another one shows up. As long as we don't close our doors and windows on life and love, there's always hope for a better tomorrow.
It hurts really but time has its own way of healing the deepest of cuts. If you've hurt someone, the least you can do it to say youre sorry for what was done can not be undone.
If you're the one that was hurt, no matter how much you love that person, you've got to move on. There's always something better and someone most worthy of your true love.
If that person doesn't like me, well, sorry, ayoko din sa kanya. Sa dami ng tao sa mundo, so many billions of them out there, siguro naman meron isa para sa yo, para sa akin, para sa atin. And that's all we could ask for, really.
Isa lang ay sapat na para mabura lahat ang sakit na naramdaman mo kaibigan. When that one comes welcome this person with open arms. Forget the past and move on to better things.
Life is good eventhough it may not seem so.
token of advice , never loose that loving feeling , love & be loved!p.s. paki lagay naman ang name, please!
this anonymous really makes me curious. sino kaya siya? feel na feel ko rin emtion nya. pareho yata kami ng experience. whoever you are, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
eh bakit puro kayo anonymous? oks naman ang messages to this emotional topic!
pasensya ka na Joey, and I'm sure the others will agree, studies have shown that one can truly show his or her feelings in writing without any qualms and reservations if done under the cloak of anonimity. you only have to check out the greatest writers in history who opted to use pseudonyms instead of their real names, including our own Jose Rizal and my personal favorite, Emily Bronte - who originally published "Wuthering Heights" under a different name.
Peace!
sincerely,

ps...Re previous post - I'm neither saying nor claiming though that I'm a great writer worthy of being in the league of the names mentioned above.
ps 2...In case you're wondering, he still hasn't budged. To date, and while physically with him while waiting for some mundane housekeeping to be done, he insists that I stay. While indeed he never cries, it's a pity that the strong man I know him to be, he has to bend backwards and be this person I didn't realize he can be capable of being. On the other hand, I realize too that I can bee this stoic and rock solid. Is that really bad? Sadly, my heart and soul are already far and beyond.

i humbly submit to your preference to remain anonymous , i respect that , just be assured, you got a friend in in me , gusto tuloy kitang awitan ng " you've lost that lovin' feeling!" at syempre "you got a friend !" how about ,"i know i need to be in love !"'by the carpenters.isa pa, "kaibigan" by the apo hiking society .simply saying , i just want to cheer you up , or perhaps be allowed to lighten that emotion you're in now....smile though you're heart is aching , smile even though its breaking , when there are clouds , in the sky you'll get by, if you smile thru your tears & sorrow , smile & maybe tomorrow, you'll see the sun come shining thru , if you just SMILE!
