Ripples

I love writing. I'm not saying that I'm an astonishing writer, or that my grammar is perfect and I make sense all the time. No. It's not it. I just love to write. Probably because I know I have a lot to say on a lot of things - not all things though. Plus, the world knows (at least my closest friends do), how talkative I am. My sister would often say, "Ate, ang daldal mo" when the lights are out and we're about to go to sleep. A friend once pointed out, "Ano ba 'yan, B, magpapaalam na nga lang ang dami pang sinasabi" - all because it took us about 30 minutes just to say our so-called 'good-byes.' Yeah, call me a little crazy, I know.


But not all the time, someone is there to listen. It may sound selfish, but I must admit that there are times when I just want to talk and talk and talk and I want someone to listen to whatever speech I have to say. At the end of each day, there's this longing of attention... someone to listen to my thoughts, or the stories of how my day went, or to share a lame punchline from the conversation I overheard while having lunch. Ergo, my outlet is through writing. Whether or not I get feedback or comments, it doesn't matter. All I need is an outlet. That's all.

Though there are really rough times no words can translate my thoughts, my insights. So I just keep quiet, but that doesn't mean my brain's not functioning. It's on, 24/7, and (not to brag) it's sometimes too fast for words to capture what really is going on inside this skull of mine. I feel like I've gone cuckoo in the head. Haha. Oh nevermind the thought. Dismissed.

See what I mean? Weird. Insane. Crazy. The list goes on...

Everything's scattered. All's a big blur. It's just like ripples in the water - once it's started, it will just go on and on, getting bigger and bigger - and who knows when it will stop. Frankly, I really don't care. As long as I stay afloat, I will never stop creating ripples of thoughts in my mind.
