To all EMO Kids,
Listen to
what I plead. Please don’t hurt yourself.
Please don’t use sharp objects
to cut your wrist that leaves scar of such unfortunate feeling you’ve had. Please
don’t let yourself
bleed being desperate of something to which you still can find solutions. Please don’t
make your life short by doing anything to escape from what you are suffering
right now. Please don’t let your parents, your friends, your love ones lose
you, I know you love them and I know you know they love you so...
If
you feel insecure, left abandoned, heart broken, hopeless, and desperate, don’t ever forget that God entrusted you the life He knew
you would live and take care of. So
please don’t make Him
disappointed of you. Thanks!
Life is a precious gift that everyone
must live well. Precious that it needs
to be taken care of. Valuable that it
must have to be given importance. It is
a gift to which God had given to everyone of us, a gift to which we can learn
everything being a human and as a steward of God. Everyone must live it well. God breathe at you to make you alive, to fill
the empty spaces here on Earth. God gave
us life to experience His countless blessings and His everlasting and
unconditional love. To live it well is
fulfilling what God ought us to do. To
live it well is giving God the best of what we can do.

INSECURITY
It is said that everything here on Earth
has its own time and season, and everything happens with a purpose.
Insecurity is the feeling of uncertainty
within you and beyond others. When you
feel insecure of not having a complete family while other do have, don’t ever think that life is unfair. Living life without a mother, a father, a
brother, or a sister doesn’t mean you don’t have a complete family--biologically, yes; spiritually,
no. You can find family to
everyone. You don’t need to open your eyes wide just to see it. You have your heart to feel it.
When you feel insecure of having no
hands, foot, blinded, deaf, or mute, be reminded of what handicapped people can
do that a normal person cannot. They
have big hands to help those who are in need in particular ways. They could go further and reach their dreams
without their feet to walk towards their goal.
They could see the inner beauty of the soul with their eyes closed. They have louder voices to speak their
thoughts in their most silent way. They
could hear what a person is saying without lending their ears. They lack physically but emotionally,
mentally, and spiritually, they are filled with spirit a normal person don’t have. They
have a fighting spirit that lives within them.
They’re brave enough to
fight against the world’s hypocrisy. They uses their heart and mid to understand
everything between right and wrong, good and bad. You are still blessed to have such gift from
God.
If you feel insecure of other people who
have lots of material things in this world, you don’t have to. The
world offers only worldly allurement but God offers everlasting happiness. You can live without material things or
luxuries these worlds have. When you go
to heaven, you can’t even bring
one. They’re
only temporary happiness to people. Once
they’re over it, they’re done with it.
They will go find another and look for other not-so-long happiness. These are nothing compared to God-given
happiness. Being a materialistic and
luxurious person can bring you to hall of fame but for only a short time. It will all soon fade away. Remember, things are only things. Materials are only materials. Luxuries are only luxuries. Not having them will free you from
materialistic-envy. If you love yourself
and you have love and faith in God, you would be a famous person to God’s eye, forever.
Insecurity leads to nothing. Like what the words of God say, “We humans are praised when we do well, and all of us
are glad to be alive. But each will go
down to our ancestors, never again to see the light of day. Our human glory will disappear, and like
animals, we die.”
(Psalm9:18-20) Insecurity makes way to
too many peccadilloes. Close your eyes,
open your heart, set your mind, believe in yourself, and have faith in
God. It will regain your confidence and
will rebuild your certainty in life.

ABANDONMENT
We are given life trials to be
tested. Every time we stagger and
tumble, every time our spirits dampen, every time we experience failures, we
always needed a companion. At times of
difficulties God had given us, we needed someone to lean on. We always needed a helping hand. Then we tend to look for someone whom we
think can accompany us all the way long.
We search for a person we think can be with us on our journey in a
rocky, rough road; because we never know how hard God’s test is, as long as we have that “someone” we can call on
to. But when the road gets too bulky to
pass on, there’s a tendency for us
to be left alone. That’s the hardest part of living. Commonly, those who leave us behind are
people we thought we could have for so long, through thick and thin. But how long is “so long”? Haven’t we noticed that
these people are only instruments of God?
And our true friend is He? We can’t triumph over difficulties if He’s not with us.
He guides us all along our way.
He never leaves us behind. These
things are yet but true, though unnoticed.
We feel abandoned because we see only what our eyes perceive is
shallow. But if we dig and look deeper,
we could say that we are not all alone.
We are afraid of having failures in life. We tend to escape from it though we don’t really have to.
Problems are part of every one’s life. We can never escape those unless we stand
brave, face, and solve it. Know the song
Footprints in the Sand? At the hardest part of man’s life, there is only one set of footprints. He thought that God had left him behind. But as he asked, he found out that God
carried him. We are not being
abandoned. We are just giving ourselves
a faultily chance to feel it.
We stand still and keep on living our
lives because God is always with us every second. We just have to open the door for Him and He
will let us feel not forsaken.

HEARTBREAKS
When we love, we need to accept every
consequence to be given, so that in the end, we’ll
be able to accept the truth and be able to move on. Loving is not just happiness. It is also filled with pains and sorrows to
attest how pure, true, and deep our love is.
When we got heartbreak from a family, we
must not think that they don’t love us. The family’s love cannot be
measured to how many times they’ve said “I love you.”, “Take care.”, and whatsoever. Love is immeasurable. We can’t even say that
they don’t love us because they hinder your
decisions in life. That they always left
us behind at times when we needed them most, that they always wanted us to
follow what they wanted, and for not giving us the things we wished we could
have. They are not fairies or they don’t have any powers to give us everything we need. God gave us our family to discipline us, to
mold us, and to give us tender love and care.
If we experience this kind of heart break, we must bother about it. Because we let ourselves jumping to the
conclusion that they don’t love us and we
let ourselves feel it. We even tend to
do things such us rebellious one.
Because we thought that in that way, we could let them know how awful
they are not to give us the attention we barely need. We don’t have the reason
to do such things.
We owe a big gratitude to our parents,
to our family. They won’t let us grow to this age if they don’t love us, if they have no care for us. We are not filling the spaces in this world
if it’s not because of them. We must be thankful that we have them. At every chance we might have, we must learn
to say sorry and forgive. Forgiveness is
the highest form of love. With it, we
could not feel the pain meant by this heartbreak.
For people who don’t have guts to open up their feelings to their family,
there comes a friend whom they can confide.
Friends, they are people who are our
other comforters. They are some other
person we can lean on. We experience a
different life with them—through laughter
and tears, failures and successes. But
at times, friendship is tested with many difficulties. There we also experience heartbreaks. Heartbreaks are no particular feeling for
friends who are true to each other. If
you truly love your friend, you will find a way to make up with him/her. Gaps will have no place between your
friendships. After the pain of temporary
heartbreak with a friend, it will let us realize three things. First, we are a true friend. Second, we know how to forgive. Third, forgiveness heals the wound in our
heart. Just don’t forget that heartbreaks are meant to ruin a
relationship/friendship. And for you not
to experience it, do something. Wise men
look for things that set everything okay, while fools stay at one place doing
nothing to even let his life better. Put
God above your friendship and nothing can spoil it.
We have family, friends, and of course,
a lover. God had already set a lifetime
partners to every one of us. Some people
move over mountains, fly across the sky, and swim over seas just to find their “soul mate”. Others tend to love someone wishing that
he/she is the right one for them.
Because they can’t wait till they
see their true lover, they suffer from the agony of heartbreak. They tend to commit suicidal acts. Some jump off the bridge, or building. Others cut their wrist and let the blood flow
out of them. There are also people who
drown themselves, or drinking drugs till they die. They didn’t even realize how
many people they will leave behind if they did it. Having love affair with persons and
experiencing painful break ups are so-so scenarios to people who do such acts
mentioned. All I can say is, both of you
deserved each other. But not to deserving
to meant to love together.
You have let yourself, your heart be
hurt by someone. Now, don’t let it ruin the entire you. There are still so many days in your
life. If the wound won’t heal fast, help yourself. Live with all the good vibes you have and don’t plant any grudges to people. That won’t help. Remember that life is not too long for you to
live only in regrets. Someone better is
waiting. That heartbreak will be a
lesson for you.
Find ways to let these heartbreaks get
out of your way. Be the strongest person
to forgive and forget every pain. Take
note, it takes a strong person to say sorry, but it takes a stronger person to
forgive.

HOPELESSNESS AND
DESPERATION
When all things went wrong and you don’t know what to do, sit back and relax. Set your mind, open your heart, think! You can’t blame yourself
for feeling hopeless and desperate. But
you can help yourself feel full of hope and out of desperation.
Hopelessness is despair. Desperation is an extreme anxiety. These two meet at some point. If you feel hopeless, you will feel
desperate. If you feel desperate, you
have no hope at all. Make all your happiness
and presence of mind be your shield from these sentiments. Think how God loves you and how He will be
there to accompany you all the way. You
just have to hold tight. When problem
strikes you, don’t say “Hey God, I have a big problem!” instead, say “Hey problem, I have
a big GOD!”
Be brave to face your challenges, you will always stand still.
***
For everything that is happening under
the sun, God knows what it is. We are
here to make our own fate. We follow our
own destiny. Everyone deserves a happy
ending. If you feel like not being
happy, then it’s not yet the
end!
Now dear EMO kids, learn how to Emotionally Move On. A better life waits. Don’t live full of
regrets. Value your life, it’s the perfect start.
