Present!

July 7th, 2008

I know that you’ve been noticing my absence for a few days now. I am present but have not been posting anything, just dropping cards daily. Been too busy with other things that I can’t find time to write down a decent entry.

Anyway, I was able to pull myself from the myriad of things I am immersed in and here I am…

I don’t know if it’s just me but I get affected by the things around me. What I mean is, when I see a person frowning all the time or who’s looking sad all the time, I feel an effect in my being. I also feel melancholic, sometimes bordering on absolutely sad for no apparent reason. This also happens to me when I get to read something sad or tragic. I carry the emotions that a novel I read evoked in me for days. I remember reading James Patterson’s Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas. When I read the book, I didn’t know that it will evoke so much emotions in me. It was a tragic love story and well, I cried a bucket while reading it. I remember feeling extremely sad for weeks after reading it.

Anyway, the past week I didn’t read any sad novel but have been seeing this guy whenever I boot up my laptop. He looked so lonely in the photo that whenever I look at him, it’s like I could really feel his sadness. Weird ano? But it really affected me. I didn’t realize that the photo was the source of this weird sadness hovering over me for days until I stopped and looked inside myself. What I did was, I deleted the photo. I stopped looking at sad photos for a while and have turned to happy, vibrant media.

That is one of the reasons for the lack of new posts here. Hay… This week, things will be better, I promise :)

Have a great week everyone!

    Hello- I recognize how you’re feeling - sometimes for no reason that I can see, I get sad, or my mood changes. Sometimes I feel it coming on. Maybe its part of hormones and being a woman, maybe its the weather, or something in the air. Or maybe subconciously something is bringing me down - like that picture you were seeing. They say its best to remove the things/persons that make us feel like that. I also read somewhere that if you put on a smile, it helps you feel good. At any rate, I hope you’re feeling better - have a good week!

    I know exactly what you’re talking about. It took me years to figure out that I’m literally taking in the negative energy and/or sadness of people, images, etc. What a relief when I finally discovered the reason, that’s half the job.

    Have a great week!

    Hi Sasha. I haven’t been able to do much visiting because I’ve also been a little preoccupied.

    I think it’s good that you have decided to stir clear from that lonely image. May you have a more positive inspiration. Take care.
