Pain

I grew up with very low pain tolerance level.

When I was small I whined for every little pain. Each whine, I cried. And for each cry, I ran and sobbed at my mother’s comfort.

Now I am old enough, a full grown man but maybe I have not outgrown my pain tolerance, yet. I do not whine everything to my mother anymore, or even to anyone else. I must have mastered the art of being incognito. I seldom lay down my cards, especially when I am at loss.

Been through tougher and more complicated days -- moments when I felt so knocked down, lost and torn. But stereotype-me, a man afraid of showing his true emotions, crying is a big no-no. Shedding tears is a pure display of weakness, defeat, failure.

Poker faced. I am.

I used to cry alone, where no one could see me. In times of turbulence, I’d prefer to be alone. I’d rather plunge myself into a secluded beach or take myself into higher grounds – to escape, to reflect, to relax, to breathe in, to shout, to cry, to be a critic of my own self and to be a different and stronger person when it’s time to go back to the real world. Damn! I really miss those days.

Strange though, there are moments that I am willing to sacrifice half of my being to partake with someone else’s pain….

Like NOW.

  2. "I am willing to sacrifice half of my being to partake with someone else's pain..."<----Do you do this because you love that "someone"? even if it is just one way? Natanong lang...

    I have a very low tolerance to pain too. And when I'm in pain i ceased to feel every bit of it until i don't feel anything at all, make me feel numb at a certain point.

  5. ay nakakalungkot, sana ok ka lang koya...

    kaya mo yan, isipin mo na lang na kinukurot ka lang ni Lord, masarap mabuhay, don't deprive yourself to be happy... everybody deserves a fulfilled life...

    iiyak mo lang... pero after nun, punasan mo na yung luha mo, tumayo ka at uminom ng malamig na tubig... dahil ang pag-iyak ay nakaka-dehydrate, lumabas ng bahay para maarawan at surrender everything to Him, He knows what is best for you... :)

  7. char...emo naman...kuya natatae ka lang ata..hehehe..joke..peace..anyway, one way daw to live a healthy life is to give yourself some time to be alone.

    Kaya nga healthy si Jesus, kasi he frequently goes to secluded places all by himself. Relate lang. Para ma-inspire ka...
