Midnight Worries and Fears

Midnight Worries & Fears Good midnight, lurkers!      In this age of society where we constantly get information in just a matter of clicks, it is truly a wonderful world to live in. Though in most cases, it only made me feel bitter and disappointed in myself. It gave me worries and fears that I think I only got in this world. (Just imagine me smoking beside you while I try to talk about my feelings. I don't know, I just want to look/sound/feel cool, y'know! )       This is my first blog so I really have no clue what I'm doing right now , but my friend said to treat it as a message or a conversation with a stranger. This means I can talk about absolutely anything!      The first worry I got from scrolling down my social media is my physical appearance. Whether on  Facebook , Twitter , and god forbid Instagram . I just look plain. T oo effing plain compared to them! I mean, I thought I was a 6.26 out of 10 at least, but boy oh...

Midnight Worries & Fears #5

Midnight Worries & Fears Good midnight, lurkers! Relationships are very important in one's life.  Humans are social beings. Family, friends, partners, workmates, classmates, etc. Friends are very important as they often are the first ones that you'll have outside your family circle.  And as I said in my last blog, I have no one at the moment. (lol.)  I got blocked by someone very important to me earlier this year. And that person unfriended me not long after. That shit felt so bad but I couldn't do anything about it. Mainly because I wanted to be the bigger person to everyone.  To be the one to try to understand and forgive every one that wronged me. I just wish that the friends who abandoned me tries to contact me again. Probably because I feel lonely right now but the point is, I'm willing to take them back.  This is a very short one, sorry about that. I notice that I'm thinking about relationships these days.  I guess I just love a lot.
