JOURNAL | The Perfect Way How Not to Write Blog Articles

Nakakatawa lang isipin yung thought na puro ka reklamo sa buhay mo, pero wala ka namang ginagawang action para ma-solve yung mga problema. Medyo nakaka-inis yung ganung thought. I mean, kung wala ka naman plan to change the situation, siguro wag na lang i-share sa World kasi wala naman pakialam ang World sa mga problema mo. The World has its own problem para isipin ka pa.

Grabe ang lala talaga ng pagiging reklamador mo as a young professional. Did you even think of talking to someone who could have helped you to resolve your issues?

Nakakapagod basahin yung mga negativities mo sa buhay. Not to cancel you, pero sa totoo lang you could have been a better writer than this by doing something about your situation di ba - pero wala eh, tapos ang lakas lakas mo mag-reklamo. Iniisip ko, kung binigyan ka ba ng solution, gagawin mo ba? Saka, yung mga past entries mo - papunta na sa depression level, pero ang pinagtataka ko lang, bakit nga ba nag-cause ng depression ang life mo back then?

OK, let’s say stressed ka? Pero, ano yun stressed ka buong College life mo? You didn’t do anything about your stressed situation? I’m sure you are better than this. Ang point ko lang naman, you could have at least written something more inspiring like how you were able to transcend yung mga stressful situations. Di ba mas empowering yun.

Working on my past blog entries in 2009-2020, I noticed how immature my writing style was. Most of these short musings were nothing but rants and excuses at my perceived misery back then. I kid you not, but the words and complaints I have been lodging were simply discouraging. But the common point on these is that lack of solutions I was able to provide or the being appreciative of how my life could have been worse. It is like I was so pessimistic about life and no good has happened back then. 

I cannot blame myself back then. Life was not easy, and I wanted an easy way out. I sort of forgot to look at the bright side. No entry was made to thank how I was able to surpass my struggles. Nothing mentioned about how despite it all, I managed to keep up with life just fine. And so this is one thing that I am now practicing. Being more grateful for the good things that I am enjoying and less of wanting things that are actually nice but I can live without.

Of course there are still many things that I wish will come or happen, but the Universe has a way and I was told that if you genuinely want the Universe for something to happen, you need to vibrate these desires. And so I am doing just that.

So ano nga ba ang take away? Ang point lang is - maging proactive ka as a person/writer.
