bipolar emo

my emo started with being all sappy and hopelessly romantic, listening to 'finally', then 'last time', then 'on my way to you'... wishing for that one person...

then it began to swing the other way, towards depressing songs: 'pangarap koy ikaw (basil valdez)', 'nag-iisa, wala ka na', the day you went away'.

emo, two sides of the same coin.

then a woman said, speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.

and he answered:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.


from The Prophet

Yes. Believe it.

One day, you'll be singing, "Tunay Na Ligaya", instead (I forget who's it's by, but...).
