When Words Affect You…
There are times when no matter how hard you want to cry, you cannot let those tears reach your chin, not even to your cheek. Because you have to be strong enough to face whatever it is in front of you.
One is not talking to me like am not there, another one is a fragile soul I cannot understand most of the time, another collective is missing direction, and the gap is widening. And all of that is because of me, my incompetence, my lack of skills in the managing department.
Sometimes I hate it when I know that I have made such an irrevocable mess. But here we are, back at square one. You do not have to worry about me and my way of coping up, I really cry a lot and I complain a lot. I talk a lot and you have to ignore my banters and ramblings. Because right now, I am in panic.
Not a lot of people know that I am super sensitive with words, and nobody has to know that. So, it’s okay. Everything is okay. This is just one of the times when spoken words echo in my mind every five minutes that I am awake. It is irritating, annoying, and intoxicating. Because I cannot work properly, my head is aching, and everything seems to be falling apart around me. But hey, it’s okay. Nothing has to change. This is not stress or anything bad. This is just one of the many challenges of being me.
I don’t know why am writing this, I just want to let the emotions out so I can move on and do the necessary tasks that needs to be done. I cannot be sulking forever about this, so I have to get up and work even if the words are there, bugging me every five minutes.
I think that this is also a lesson for everyone, especially for those who are sensitive to words. Don’t overthink. Do not force yourself to understand every single word or detail that has been spoken. Do not let words get to you. Nor should you let other people see that it got you. Okay?
Now I think it would be great to delve into Vashni Stories’ 2-minute drawings. I bet it’ll be relaxing just how she describes it.
