Blogging Challenge Day 21: What Makes Me Sad

Hello! How are you feeling? 

It has been a week since the lockdown. Last night, I was feeling under the weather and honestly, I didn't want to be paranoid, because aside from staying at home, I'm taking vitamins C and E. I also had my flu vaccine last October, valid for a year. I got out of the bed past 1 in the afternoon, and I felt kinda better. I had steamed camote for my brunch, then decided to start the Monday right with my daily workout routine. Then, freshened up and continued writing or whatsoever. 

Today's update: As of 4pm, Department of Health confirms the country now has a total of 462 patients with 33 deaths and 18 recoveries. The number of cases has spiked up, and all we can do is to stay at home. Our current situation seems like unending and it is saddening. People are not used to staying at home for longer periods of time. We are all affected in different ways and I just hope that your mental health is still coping up. =)

It's Day 21 of my Blogging Challenge, "What makes me sad?" This question is kind of relevant to these past few months. Aside from my depression had kicked in, this lock down came up also after almost being okay. So what do really makes me sad?

First, is when people I love don't appreciate me and my efforts for them. Second, is when they're not keeping their promises. Third, is when they are avoiding me for no reason, or without knowing the reason why. Fourth, is when someone doesn't believe in myself and in my capabilities. Before I continue onto the next, Kodaline's All My Friends is playing on my Spotify. "You know you'd be with your friends for life, If you could see all your friends tonight." If only I can be with my friends, plus a cold beer on hand, and a chitchat, would be good right now. Also, I miss my family. They had their Sunday lunch without me at our old house. I'm still thinking and considering of going home, depending on the situation if roads will be passable, and toll gates will be open. Besides I may be a carrier (who knows?), and I don't want myself bringing harm to them. Okay, let's just stick to the topic. Fifth, I feel sad when I disappoint people close to me. But yeah, we can't please everyone. This will just lead to stress or maybe, even anxiety. Sixth, is the feeling of being misunderstood. Seventh, is not doing the right thing sometimes, even if I know that I can do something about it. Did you get my point? Ha ha! And lastly, it starts with a consonant. What? It starts with a letter "R". Boom! REJECTION. Big word huh? Who does what to be rejected? Of course, nobody! Being rejected is painful. But honey, let's face the truth. Life is going to be full of rejections and we can't avoid them. We just have to suck it all up and learn from these rejections. In order to deal with them, we must not permit rejections to define us a human being. Another way to cope up is to view rejection on a another perspective, and consider it as a proof that we are living life to the fullest. Let's take rejections as God's way of protecting us from being misguided and not follow his plan for us. He has better reasons why we were rejected and soon we will understand Him.

It's okay to cry honey, but make sure, after breaking down, wipe away those tears. Chin up! And together let's face the world with a strong heart and a powerful God. 

I hope you all are doing great. Don't forget to drink lots of water.
Stay safe and healthy!

Take care and Kbye,
