day 2

things are not exactly peachy and rosey but i slept well last nite
woke up only about 4-5 times..

feeling empty and numb at the moment
not sure if i was happy or feeling lousy abt coming to work today
everything seems to settle in the background for a while
another week of work
aiming for 2 chapters to finish by end of this week

this morning i wake up exceptionally early
in my prayers, i asked for a sign
a sign to help me think objectively, to steer away unnecessary thought and concentrate on wat matters
to know if this is just of my own creation or it is a true huge problem
and just now, i came across this now i'm juggling if this is a true co-incident or the sign..

Sometimes, it is easy to lose sight of oneself especially when the world does not give you a lot of encouragement to go through life alone. People are always throwing parties to celebrate couple love. From Valentine's Day to weddings to anniversaries, a girl has every reason to find a partner and very little cause to remain single. As such, we hang on to our couplehood for as long as we can take it, until perhaps one finds another (how many girls you know jump from one boat to another without ever getting their feet wet?), or worse, until the abuse becomes physical.

The next time you carry the cross of love, ask yourself one very simple question: is the suffering only an exception, or has it become the norm? It is one thing to go through a rough patch together, and quite another to go through it yourself.

Just make sure you know the difference.
