sounds familiar? Of course! Its depicted from the mutated dude who wears red-blue cobwebbed suit who flung himself around in the city.
Bah! Thats not the point.
As usual, I enjoy deviating from the main course.
Wonder when will I get lost and start following the map using an appropriate compass.
*here i go again*
"With great attention, comes a greater hollowness to be filled"
I'm beginning to suspect of my own doing. Talk about the devil in me eh...
It is time like this that you can't help where are those who you really call
About seeing things in a more optimistic perspective, it just doesn't apply in every situational dilemma.
People do not care. People act like they don't. I act like that too. But deep down, residing in one corner of my pouch of emotion... its struggling hard to stay calm... With every beat, it grows a lil' more feeding on the loneliness, doubts that haunt the owner.
How come only I feel this way? Why do I have to expect so much from friends? I hate myself for feeling this way yet I cannot find any solution to this predicament. I tried telling myself, they do not appreciate me as much as I appreciate them. I am nowhere significant in their life just as much as how much I prioritize them. Shows how much I am fond of them and in return, instead of getting the same treatment, I get the I-dont-care-what-shithole-you-drop-into attitude.
This isn't justice I am ranting about. Friendship comes with extra complimentary good that the receiver does not need to ask for or work for. Too bad, its human weakness to hope for the same thing she feels for. It is only normal. Only consolation I can resort to... What else can I do? Throw tantrum at them? Show them the right way they should treat a friend of a different gender?
It is alwayz me who finally have to give in. I give my best shot by making it easy for them. I act, I behave, I talk, I laugh like a male to a certain level. But reality doesnt alter the nature's course that I think, feel and has a heart of a fragile lady... It beats me badly whenever I think about this matter. It makes me feel so weak and useless.
*sigh..* Has been happening for a bit. Maybe I should just immunized myself with it.
Makes life so much less complicated.
Well... ever since i came here, i seem to demand a lot more from a friend.
ReplyDeleteI wunder if it's the place or just part of growing older.
Maybe it's the same thing ur going thru... i dunno.
u disabled that bloody comment moderation thingy... finally! haha
ReplyDeleteAha! Yeah, such a trouble for me and the rest.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a combo of the both. Us in a god forsaken land and the insecurity we all feel as we grow older. Who says adult is wisdom? I find myself dwelling in a lot more lost case in confusion.
Ur right, I guess. 'Insecurity of growing old'... how apt.
ReplyDeleteI did write a short story a couple of months back depicting a conversation between an old man and a little girl. That was suppose to be my entry for the MPH writing competition (the theme was 'Time'). Sadly, I missed the deadline.
I think I saw u half an hour ago. You were on your 'bubble'... it's white, no?
EH ! I WANNA READ!!!!! Ur TIME-less piece...
ReplyDeleteHere it is. I did the illustration myself but it's not very good (click for thumbnail for larger pic)
ReplyDeleteThat Time Story
and here's another one with a better inllustration
A lousier story with a better picture
I love those drawings!! Both are equally good. How did u do that btw? Photoshop?
ReplyDeleteMy comments on stories- the words strewn together are nicely done ^^, but lack of sumtin... Hrmm... think not much of a climax there.
No wonder u owned the writing competition la. gosh...
I've always been weak at doing those OMG-I-din-see-that-coming climaxes. That's why I don't do those type of stories much. Stuff I write about tend to be mellow and relaxed. More slow-and-thoughtful rather than pacey.
ReplyDeleteThe pics were hand-sketched and scanned. Another hobby of mine, so to speak.
Impressive!
ReplyDeleteI think I will puji ur drawings more! kekeke! Really good!
anywayz, crongrats for passing yo!!!!! ^^
