What's the point?

What's the point of going on?

Why should I continue?

This is nonsense! Useless!

White hairs everywhere

I had my haircut this morning.

I'm sure you know how it is with barber shops.  As you sit on the barber's chair, you are facing a big mirror in front of you… and I had a good look of myself. Honestly, what I saw wasn't very encouraging.

White hairs growing everywhere!

Sure, it wasn't the first time I saw white hairs on me but they weren't as many before. They used to be only on the sides, those on top aren't very visible unless you take a closer look. But today, it looked like there are as much white hairs as there black, if not more.

Am I concerned? I'm not hypocrite. Of course, I am!

Let me make that clear - CONCERNED, not conscious.

How can that be different?

I really didn't care if I had white hairs.

But now that I have more white hairs, for sure… SHE WILL NEVER LIKE ME.

And it will never change.

Spit or Swallow?

Spit or Swallow?
by Roy dela Cruz

Spit or swallow?
What would you do?
When this question
Is thrown at you?

Are you going to consent?
Or turn your face the other way?
Are you going to give in?
Or pretend that you just don’t care?

Because it is inevitable
Relationships will soon come to this
Are you going to stand your ground?
Or would you consent just to please?

Nobody said it was easy
Especially if it’s something you don’t believe in
But when you are in a situation,
Are you going to spit or swallow?

...your pride, that is.
