I’m a girl whose eyes are always set to see the beautiful. Always. May it be a person, a place, a happening, I always see its beautiful side. Even in my life, despite of every problem I’m facing, I feel happy even because of the simplest things in my life. Makita ko lang mommy ko masaya na ko. I don’t usually dwell on my problems. I want people to see me happy all the time because the last thing I want them to see is a defeated Heidy. And for me, being succumbed by any problem means a defeat. I also don’t want to burden them by my problem, or even by the pity they think they're ought to show. They won’t stop their lives for me, and even if they do, I don’t want them to. That’s why I spent all these months banking happiness inside me --looking for every little reason to be happy and keeping it inside me.
I write all these optimistic stuffs trying to make my happiness more concrete. I talk happily with everyone. I smile a lot when I’m in front of my family, play with my sister, and talk a lot with my mom.I keep in touch with all my friends online-- debb, eric, jowie, and the rest of my good friends. We talk about all the hype, gossips, jokes and everything. I feel happy whenever I talk to them. My friends have no idea how happy– no, ecstatic— I am while talking to them, but after that I’m empty again. When I’m alone it’s like I can’t smile anymore. It’s not that I’m faking my happiness in front of them. My happiness is genuine whenever I’m with them. But my problem is as real as my happiness. And it’s beating me to death whenever I’m alone, eating all the happiness my friends and family is giving me. And every single time, I’m holding on for dear happiness.
Pero napapagod din ako. Not all the time I can handle this well. And this is one of those down moments. My friends are planning a get together tomorrow and I told them I couldn’t come, because I really really can’t. I know I will be very happy with them cracking jokes, talking about anything for what seems like forever, and just being together. I miss them so much, sobra, but I can’t see them. Because I feel like I’m going to crack up with all this carnival ride of emotions. I’ve never been this tired and weak. Ang hirap. Nakakapagod.
