Because I'm a Crybaby

Well,the title says it all. Yes,I cry a lot. Really. A lot.


The week has been a tough one,seriously,and horribly tough. (a little exaggeration on the 'horribly'). And I realized that if I've got a fatal flaw like all the demigods of Rick Riordan, it's my, obviously, emotion (yeah,that's in fact very human).


After a short talk (which,ugh,I cannot elaborate) tears just burst out of my eyes,and the first person to see me crying that day (the same person who insisted that I have that talk) sent me a message, "Pssst! Wag ka ngang umiyak.. ano ba to". And all I could say was, "Sorry naman,iyakin talaga ako."

And then the person to whom I cried it all out, laughed at me at the height of my emotion,leaving me saying,"You're such a true friend, you're laughing while I'm crying!". And I meant it.

The next few nights were still my "crying moments" and as I tried to console and counsel myself (Yeah,I actually do that sometimes), I got to remind myself that whatever extreme emotion I feel, I cry - happiness, sadness, fear, anger, irritation, excitement...ugh...name it. Sometimes, a simple situation/ scene/event/thing that triggers or provoke the emotion works. But sometimes it has to be extreme,like the I'm-so-touched happiness, or the I'm-so-depressed sadness, or the grrrr-I-want-to-throw-anything-and-shout-at-anyone anger, like that. The thing is, I easily cry.

And as much as I want to stop the tears from flowing, the emotion is just difficult to fight. And no matter how hard I try,breathing in and out just doesn't do the trick. Tears are unstoppable.

Friday's Letters





Dear Week, 
Thank you for being a little tough. You made me cry a lot and I think I needed that. You also made me forget to work at night and just lie down on my bed to read. Refreshing.


Dear Mr. Rick Riordan, (Percy Jackson,Annabeth,and the rest of the Olympus),
Thanks for keeping me company for the entire week. Your four exciting quests made me realize that challenges, no matter how tough they are, can be overcome.


Dear TJ and Sir EJ,
Thanks for laughing while I was crying and making me feel that I did the right thing.


Dear Students,
The last week of summer classes was well-spent, and the entire semester was awesome. Thank you!


Dear Sweetness,Tenderness,Kindness,Smiles, and Love Words,
Please continue pouring me with yourselves, and make me an instrument in spreading you to everyone.


Yours,
Val
