Given that everybody knows I was no ordinary kid, I have collected more than enough scars , figuratively and literally speaking, from the past that always reminds me of how carefree and ballsy I have always been then until now. And as I think about how I was able to ride out the healing process, I do not remember where I got those bruises, nor do I remember the pain I had to endure while waiting for wounds to dry up - I only remember how good it felt when everything was finally over. Being able to sleep peacefully at night not worrying that bandages would fall off if I move too much and being able to smile knowing that I was no longer burdened with depressing thoughts…
But the cycle goes on and I never stop being a child for that matter. No two experiences are alike despite all its similar aspects or let me state it strongly this way, you surely don’t react to similar situations in the same way. I know, who can argue with that? Well, probably someone who is doused in damaging insensitivity - who I am not.
The calluses on my skin would only tell you that I am growing old because deep within, what the eye cannot see, I am not hiding a calloused heart and I am still capable of hurting.
c’mon sarj…. wag na mag drama hehe
If you think about it, we have more happy memories than sad ones.

Nah, it’s just one of “those moments”. Come on, I’m okay

Oh well, hurting is something that’s inevitable and indispensable at the same time. And those callouses are, i guess, signs of wisdom.
EMO! You better get your hands off TV series full of melodramatic moments! Haha.
