Untitled
I was reading
Sam's blog and I read something about how lonely it is when you're alone...
Know what? It really is lonely being alone. I guess that's why there's a saying that goes "No man is an island." It doesn't matter if you're a loser and don't have friends, or you're a emotionally-constipated-single-since-birth person. It just sucks big time to be all by yourself in a world where souls find there way back to each other and unite.
Whenever I realize I'm alone (which hasn't happened since... I can't remember when =P), I think about the people in my life who have ever deserted me. I cry my eyes out, especially if I'm just getting over a relationship or something and feel... helpless. Pure and utter helplessness. Powerless to change how I'm feeling, and even more powerless to change what happened.
Sometimes, I tell the people I trust that I'm lonely and they always tell me that I don't need anybody to make me feel complete and/or happy. And I agree. I honestly and sincerely agree. No one should have to feel incomplete or unhappy just because they lost/haven't found that one person for them. But when you've lost that someone, it's not about that person making you happy. Heck, there are a million things that can make a person happy. It's that THAT person shared your happiness, and now that person's gone. It's not that you're unhappy. It's that you wish there was someone to be happy for you and with you. What good is total and complete happiness when you're all alone? What will you do with something so good and so perfect? Share it. And when you're alone, you can't do that, and that's why it's a shame being alone...
I wonder whether I'll grow to be a spinster (
n. an unmarried woman past the common age for marrying)... I mean, I have a life pretty much worked out, and it has little, if any at all, room for men. Wala lang... Just sharing.

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
