update: blood


I’ve been having these really violent dreams lately. When I wake up, I feel breathless and I’m almost always sure I have a new scratch wound somewhere. Today, it’s right above my upper lip. Most of the blood’s clotted by now but I still don’t understand why my body becomes so violent once the lights go down.

In this particular dream, a faceless old man is choking me. I was begging him to let me breathe but the monster had different plans for me. He took his time to make me suffer. Each move was precise. I was not his first victim. He was just about to draw a gun when I woke up, gasping and grateful to be alive.

Forgiveness is easy. It’s acceptance and forgetting that’s a bitch.

    @herbs. so true. parang eternal sunshine. sana maerase nalang.

    but then again, how else would we learn all the important lessons these situations bring us? siguro balance lang.

  5. isn't that bangungot na?

    its true about forgetting--its hard lalot grabe yun nagawa ng isang tao madali mag sorry at magpatawad pero yun kalimutan at tanggapin lahat e ibang usapan
