A Piece for the Troubled and Unheard

Have you ever had those moments when you were so down, but couldn’t tell anyone? You couldn’t tell anyone because they were used to seeing you so happy and enthusiastic. You couldn’t tell anyone because you feel like nobody would listen, and believe that you are actually falling apart. Ako I’ve had these moments before, but I’m blessed na whenever I’m down, naa akong manghud, akong numero uno na listener. Dili lang ni siya listener pero unfiltered ug prangka sad ni siya makapanambag or magstorya nako, and for that I’m so grateful. I also have few friends na abtik mucheck nako if they sense something. And of course, ang pinaka best gyud nakong daganan ug nay problema, si God. 

But naghunahuna ko sa mga tawng, wala gyuy makasultian. Or kanang mga tawng, anad kaayo mu mask sa ilang tinood na feelings. Those people na pag haharap sa mundo, very masayahin, talkative, and sometimes even, mao pay joker ug kusog magpakatawa sa laeng taw. Pero diay nig mag inusara na, ayun drained, down, tired. And the sad fact is, walay naka figure out ug kumusta na gyud siya. I salute these kind of people, grabi isog gyud, isog in a way na nakaya nilang mahandle whatever they are going through, alone. But please tawn, don’t think na you’re alone and that wala na gyuy maminaw nimo bisan isa. Approach your parents. If not, approach your best friend/s. If dili sad, approach someone from your sibling na mature enough to actually listen without any judgment. If wala, then talk to God. He listens, always. Dili lang kay listen, but He also heals. All kinds of pain, God can heal you. 

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. 

1 Peter 5: 7

Cast all your anxiety in Him because He cares for you.

Another suggestion, play some Worship Songs or add these in your playlists. Makatabang sad siya, makapakalma, tas maminusan ang pag overthink, and instead mas ma encourage sad na mas hugutan pa ang pag pray ni God. We might not get our answers instantly, but God always answers. It can be Yes, No, or Not Yet, but whatever answer it may be, just trust that God’s will is always the best for us. 

For the rest, we should also be sensitive to others. Bale dapat kabalo sad ta makiramdam. Di porket kanang atong barkada/igsoon/kaila nga gasige na nag katawa-katawa, wala gyud na syay problema. Kung ako lang, mutoo man gud ko na sometimes, kung kinsa pay hilig magpalipay sa uban kay maoy nangailangan sad ug tabang or maoy gusto sad na icomfort or paminawn. Walay mawala nato if sometimes, we’d check on our friends, even the most enthusiastic one, with a question “Are you okay?” or “Musta naka bay?” or “Okay ra ang tanan nimo karon bes?”. Ma okay sila or ma dili, lami man gud sa feeling ng kamustahon ta. 

Dapat di rapod ta taman kumusta hap, basin nig mu aksyon nag share ang taw, tubagon na nimog “Mao ba? Awh ok”. Dukngan gyud tika gyud! Dapat andam sad ta maminaw, maminaw without judgment ha. And the most important, dapat makasaligan ta. Whatever iyang gi share, keep it just between you two. Kana kay gisaligan ka niya ana nga problema, you may help him/her solve it, but never spread it with anyone, kay makaguba gyud nag trust. 

Lezgo guys sugod nata awp. 😂 I mean, lezgo check on our friends and family, mangumusta ta. But if you are the one who needs to be heard, approach the person you feel like mao gyuy makasaligan nimo, and of course si God sad ha. Naa sad koy for emails areng side bar sa akong blog, just fill in your name, email address and whatever is your concern, send it, and tara usap tayo 😉.
