being sick all the time

I’ve had this health condition that I’ve been living with for 20+ years now, costochondritis, or so I thought. Technically it should have gone away a long time ago but it hasn’t. It feels like someone stabbing you with a knife through the chest and twisting it over and over again. Normally it would pop up out of nowhere for like a day or two … Continue reading being sick all the time

Singled Out

Everyone I know is either married with kids or has a significant other. I’m the only one who is actually “single.” When I’m in a group setting, the conversation revolves around their family life and there is nothing I can relate to because I really can’t relate to anything they talk about. As far as kids go, my kids are my two cats and my … Continue reading Singled Out

are you okay?

Are you okay? I get asked that question a lot, throughout the day, everyday. It really gets exhausting having to always answer “yes, I’m okay.” I get that there are those people who are positive or happy people all the time but I’m not one of them.

I keep wondering if I should go back and read through my journals that I told myself I would never open again. Afraid that it might be a … Continue reading Going backwards

I wish my love life was a Filipino love story

I’ve been stuck at home recovering from surgery for about a few weeks now and I have run out of things to watch. I was surfing through Amazon Prime movies for something to watch and a Filipino movie came up. Filipino movies are mushy, corny love stories where one is fighting for the other to make the relationship work and they are definitely tear jerkers. … Continue reading I wish my love life was a Filipino love story

Phases of life

Being in recovery mode for the past few weeks and have nothing to do but binge watch TV show and think endlessly about everything. The one thing that has been running around in my mind is that certain people become a part of your life and then at some point that comes to an end. When I was little, I grew up with my cousins. … Continue reading Phases of life
