It's OK to be Down at Times

In our fun-loving culture nowadays, it's a no-no to be lonely. When friends ask me how I was and I tell them I'm just feeling lonely, they would advise me immediately that I need a girl friend or something or watch a movie. And I guess it's not just us, Filipinos but most people in general. Quoting Drew Barrymore playing her role in the movie "Lucky You", she says to Eric Bana that "People are trying not to be lonely" and I guess this is true.

Edna Turnbald - No to Dieting!

Loneliness, hated and avoided but it comes and it's real! It sucks the life out of us and it really sucks! Right? Personally, I'm quite lonely. Mainly I guess, I've moved quite far from most of my friends lived. During these Saturday evening we would just hang out in the Community House, talking serious about life and struggle or just trash talking or watch a movie or sing in a videoke. I missed those times but I just felt I have to move on from those things at these moments of my life because I just have to - to answer destiny's call or the call from God himself. Secondly, I feel lonely because I can't eat too much and I can't eat the food that I really like. I love eating and subjecting myself into this torturous routine is indeed a crime to my mouth, tongue and stomach. I'm on a diet see because I'm so hefty and heavy like John Travolta in Hairspray! Just joking, well I'm nearly obese so I have to lose weight for health's sake. So, not eating that much makes me lonely.

We all love on a high and we felt something spiritual about it when on a high. Drug dependents are always looking for a high through drugs because living in their reality, life sucks! But it makes me wonder and am always led to think where would it take me. Would God want to meet me here? We always think of God as someone who would lead us to the highest mountains but we don't want to think that He would take us to the valley far down below. What will I find here? Things to ask, things to think about.
