Like A Gum Stuck On My Shoe

Yesterday, I was on my way home barely heading out of school and all of the sudden, I stepped on a gum. And freekin' gum was so sticky that every time I made a step forward, my left shoe adhered to the ground. So I tried to get rid of the goddamn gum but it brazed itself so adhesively on the soles of my shoe that I felt so uncomfortable walking especially over the fact that I was walking on a five inches platform shoes.The gum affixed itself like a wall paper onto my shoe. It was so cleaved , it hindered me to walk properly and I appeared as if I was limping or something. I walked terribly funny.

Last night, my insomnia attacked again. I have been very successful at not thinking of Glenn. Perhaps, it's due to the many stress I've endured the past weeks. I've been so preoccupied with school and everything else and I completely lost track how he has been. Until last night. I knew he called last night. I pressed my call return feature (*69) button at 2 am and the operator mentioned that whoever called was a long distance phonecall. You see, no one calls me long distance except for Glenn or Maff. I clarified with Maff earlier today if she called and she said no. It has to be Glenn. I called him up and he answered the phone and then I hung up. He was up at 11 pm there. His sleeping time is usually at 9 pm because he works at 4 am.

Now why is he up? Why did he call me? And why am I thinking of his loser ass again? I conditioned myself I should be over him. It is not right to think of him. Please, all I want is to be unshackled and unchained from speculating and contemplating his state, to be release from missing his presence in my life, to disenthrall myself from our past romance and to liberate myself into unconstrained opportunities and mindless dating, and to enjoy some other person's company without comparing his attributions to Glenn's qualities.

But the truth is, by the end of the date, I still project grieving and joyless thoughts and unforgettable memories of us together, the loneliness remained burried deep in my aching heart, the ceaseless tears still falls from my sobbing eyes and worse yet, I exceedingly miss him. But it's the wrong concept to cogitate. It's like the forbidden apple that the Lord banned Adam and Eve to eat in Paradise. And yet, there's that relentless temptation.But I know where my boundaries are. Feasibly, I hope and yearn to be better at handling these matters of love. Undoubtedly, someday, I will be able to improve at not letting any thoughts or memories of Glenn in my head and progress at focusing on what lies ahead of me that is positive.

It's just at this time, I can't refrain from feeling the hurt and the pain. I can't shut off our memories completely. It's just like the gum stuck on my shoe...it's clinging there like a cement.

And only time can detach it. Only time. *sigh*

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
