The Bottom Line
It will be hard to contain your excitement today when you finally get what you want.
In Detail
Telling the truth isn’t just second nature to you — it’s really more like an innate reaction that multiplies when ‘official business’ is impending. So now, regardless of how anxiously you’re awaiting developments, you won’t be willing to tone it down or take it back, not even a smidge — not even if you know they’d prefer you hadn’t started a major ball rolling with the powers that be. Oh, well. Respect is the glue that holds any relationship together.
It’s not that I am an avid believer of horoscope predictions, but somehow, I often get readings (at least the ones in Friendster and in the Inquirer) that jive with what is currently happening in my life. Ain’t that cool?
Emily Rose was a very religious girl and yet, despite that fact, demons inhabited her body. Now, although kind, I’m far from being the religious type, which is probably why I will never be possessed like Emily. But there were times when I felt that I could relate to her, in the sense that I would get confused with my personality, with what I was experiencing and feeling. I even had some of her symptoms: feeling hot all over, difficulty in breathing, extreme agitation, and speaking in strange languages (Does “P@^#%-^&A!!! T#%A^*N%@G@#A!!!” make sense to you?). It felt like something (or someone) was triggering a demonic transformation in me, and I could not understand at first why.
They say that God has His reasons for letting things happen. Emily found out what that reason was. I do not know if I’ll ever find the reason why this chapter in my life happened, and I do not intend to look for it any further. Let’s just say that I’m so relieved that this is over, and I’m never looking back. I never thought I’d meet someone whom I’d abhor so much, and it’s so sad that I did. I just hope that I’d never have to be with someone like that ever again. Suddenly I feel a yearning to hug all my friends and tell myself over and over again that, yes, sensible people do exist! One rotten egg does not spoil a whole basket! And, wait, the egg is not IN the basket! Hurray!!!
Yes, I’ve been very truthful the past few months… brutally honest in ways that have been hurtful to that person but very liberating and therapeutic for me. And although I feel guilty sometimes (this is the only time I’ve let my latent evil personality rule for months!), the situation called for it and yes, there was not enough glue anymore. Besides, there is nothing much I can do, anyway. It’s already written in the stars. Now I wash my hands.
