Gone to sleep

Another one of those sleepless nights. I got up, away from the gallery of thoughts swirling thru my mind. When I think back about a specific one, nothing that I can pin point. I'm like this sometimes, most times...It's like a prism of thoughts, like a spectrum of colors, one like all the others - each one definite, everything's indefinite, nothing conclusive.

Defense mechanism??? The ability of the mind to shield the shell from anguish, further pain (to think is painful as it is). Like a malfunctioning computer - accepting data but not processing.

We all go through a phase like this. When so many problems needed thinking coming in all at once and the brain could only take so much. Some people go through depression...or worst (mental cases), some laugh or cry it off, others do drugs, drinking.

My perpetual salvation - SLEEP. I'll sleep with it soon as I'm done writing, after all, may I borrow Scarlett O's 'tomorrow's another day.'??? There's hope. Goodnight Rhett Butler..

Good to see you back Ate Theta. Sometimes it's feast or famine for me. Either it's plain sailing or all coming at once.

Yep praying and sleeping is a good combo. Tomorrow is another day. Have a good day for the rest of week.



within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

Hi Janey,

Yap.. often wonder how the brain can be so active and shifty sometimes. The hazardous end of too much thinking, wrinkles hence aging fast. Why worry when there's so much to look and hope for the morrow. Maybe, just maybe...

As I wish for you sis, good days & weeks ahead. Take good care

Aha, another one of those insomniacs talking to sheeps upss shepherd/ess..Wide awake at witching time. If not for dengue, I'll go out to the terrace and count the stars, and stay the whole night outside with fresh cold air of December. At least I stayed to count the moon

Tnx Bro Leo for the advice.

Well, my dear, when you've done your defense mechanism, it's time to do your coping mechanism...Put it all to work...Something's got to work eventually. I've been there done that. I sure know the feeling..

Just call me ELZ

ELZ,

I've been through this a number of times and I can say 'I learned' some defences and some few tricks to cope and there's nothing good as faith and trust in thyself. 'KAYA KO 'TO!! A mantra that never fails me.

I'm sure you're back from a refreshing vacation. Have a great weekend.

Tajane,

Welcome back from the much deserved vacation.

I'm so vocal about my stand in LDR. That's why I hate the feeling and all the crazy ideas entailing such longing. I'll be fine soon, just counting days na lang I can manage to overcome everything by myself, somehow, it's more easy when there's someone who can share the load.

Loud and clear. Here we come Subic!! Call or text anytime. Hamisyu as much. Have a great weekend! Muahhss..

Party, party gone too soon..

As we should be...as they say 'go with the flow' if we can't beat the current. Thanks sis for dropping by.

    is beyond the range of our free will.
Creep,

Sometimes the forces of nature is much stronger than what we human, possessed. It's the ability to yield when we can't overcome those forces. It's the difference between intelligence and wisdom.

Tnx for dropping by.

Hi Teng,

It's not a very good state of mind, right sis? But like all things in this world - it will all come to pass. Somehow or another, we will still live despite of what happened. Forget surprisingly, the pain and bitterness but not the memories so bland, it's like 'it happened and never happen.'

I used to say it's difficult to move on, I don't know where to start. Without knowing, I've moved on without trace of when it started, maybe when I learned to forgive the one who wronged me and forgive myself too.

I'm kinda lot like you, here but not really here. I'm always checking on my friends. I do wish the same thing, for us all to meet and hug & kiss each other even for just one whole day and night. Be merry and happy as one share the goodness of life.

Tnx sis as always, Take care and be happy.

    I cannot sleep - great joy is as restless as great sorrow.
Grid,

Yap, how come extreme emotions cause the same restlessness?? It's the mind and the heart working double time, hence, the disequilibrium. moderation in everything. Tnx bro for dropping by.

Cactus,

I was thinking the same thing, how come waiting for something to happen or someone to come by results in sleepless nights?? Everytime, things has a way of unraveling on its own.

Tnx for the input.

Sis,

Had so many this year. God is our only saviour. When we are drowning in our own tears and our brain is overload. Sleep is quite refreshing until you think of him again. Why is it so very hard to not fall in love so easily??? Missing him terribly...

You'll be fine you are a strong lady

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

'te Tess,

In search of love, you must be willing to get hurt and feel the pain. After a big terrible heartbreak, surprisingly, the wounds will heal, the heart will open up again. I'd rather go over and over the cycle than not loving at all..

I will be fine - in time, and try again. Thanks sis
