Try To Read with Gretchen Weiner's Voice in Mind

The sad truth is, you have to put effort in everything to keep them the way they are.

Say, our bodies.  I was stick thin then and convinced nothing can beat my metabolism, I ate whatever I wanted.  Look what happened now.  Same with relationships (all kinds).  You can't expect everything to be the same forever.  No matter how convinced you are that this friend/lover/enemy/whatever is your friend/lover/enemy/whatever forever, and that there's no way the amount of love/hate you have for each other will diminish, without effort and constant communication, things can happen.  It can be a temporary awkwardness with each other (which can be resolved with an explanation of why you missed her birthday party), or a big gaping hole between you two, present and taunting you for the rest of your life.  So before that hole gets as big as ___'s ___  (THAT didn't come from me!), better hold on to the people who you think are worth keeping, who, if snatched away from you by the cruel realities of life, you can not bear to lose.

I know I'm letting holes pop out here and there, and believe me, I will try to fix them as long as they are worth fixing.  But what saddens me it that, why did WE let that happen?  What I'm trying to say is, it's not only one person's fault.  Right?

That being said, I'm half sorry, half annoyed about why it feels like it's my responsibility to ask people how they're feeling, if they're okay...  I (obviously) have feelings too!  So when people (sometimes the least I expect)  ask me how I'm doing (not the obligatory Hi-How are you-Can I ask a favor type), it means sooo much to me.  So yes, before mag-tampo to someone about things, know your place first.

Why the sudden rant, after months of just appearing here to post photos of places I went to? a.) to remind you and myself that this is not a travel blog; b.) I missed ranting; c.) I HAVE FEELINGS TOO!

Good day!
