Emo-ness

It seems like the recent weeks have been tough for a lot of people. So much so that the emo-ness in me has dissipated because I start worrying about other people instead. Yes, somehow trying to comfort other people makes me feel comforted myself.

Only quite recently, the word emo has been coined to this usage. I was emo way before the word was used and all these years wallowing in misery, I have learnt a thing or two.

I have learnt that emo-ness is not worth it. When it's all over and you look back, you will realise that all the heartache, all the pain, it is just not worth your time and energy. When we get emo, we focus all our thoughts on that one thing that causes that feeling, and more times than not, we miss how much we already have.

Always appreciate what you have right now at this moment. The past is the past, and when it's time to let go, it's time to move on. What is REALLY more important? We deny it all the time, don't we? Even when it is screaming right in front of our faces.

The sad thing is that, we all already know that. Yet somehow within out twisted souls we want to be emo. Admit it, we want to wallow in misery when the time calls for it.

So we know what we should do. Yet we live in denial for a moment because ironically, we want to feel that depression. Somehow feeling bad feels right.

Cheer up people. =) There is still lots to cherish in this world, cold and cruel as it can sometimes seem. Everything we go through are lessons to be learnt, and everytime we fall, its when we pick up the pieces and rise again which makes all the difference.

"When the night seems to be its darkest, it means the sun will soon rise up. Press on. Don't give up." This phrase brings back some memories to me. We all have our own issues. Take comfort in the fact that you are never alone, and emo-ness in an ironic way, connects the heart of people and binds us all together.
