where arth thou, my love?
i am getting addicted again to reading books. pocketbooks in particular. love stories, to be more specific. yeah, sorry to tell you that i am really a mushy person. there’s nothing really wrong with it. in fact it is a good stress reliever. i just hate the fact that it takes much of my time reading when i could’ve used the precious time writing my journal manuscript.
***********************************
actually, it doesn’t matter to me if i waste my time on these books. in a way, i feel happy reading them and then it is not a waste of time anymore. how can something that made one happy be a waste? it just can’t be.
the real problem is it makes me realize things that i am not sure if i should be aware of. i mean, i am already ok being this way, should i really be made aware of the things i lack? it is not even in my hands to ‘acquire’ it even if i want to. in the end, knowing about ‘it’ puts me in a depressing situation.
which leads me into thinking, since i already am aware of ‘its’ existence, why don’t i have it?
am i not worthy of having it? [no.]
am i not good enough? [that couldn't be.]
am i lacking the charm to lure it into my lair? [huwaw.]
what? [answer me.]
hai. God must have a really good reason for its non-existence in my life.
