Screeeeam!

Oftentimes we scream during the creepiest, happiest, most dreadful incidents of our lives. We scream whenever we see our crush pass by the corridor. We scream when we see a cockroach.  We scream when we are enraged with all the destitutions life is giving us. But haven’t we thought of all those who just put up a smile and just scream deep down inside?

I honestly think that I still have a hung over on what we discussed in our DevComm class a week ago. My group presented a series of “give me a voice” advocacies and those became my drive to write about screaming.

Today I just wanted to scream but I couldn’t. I was timid and I started to think about all those who are possibly in the same situation as I am. I’m not saying that my ideas are suppressed or anything. It’s just that there are things that I want to say but I just couldn’t. Maybe it’s because there are some things that are needed to be kept inside the closet. Like for example, my pride. It’s all I have. Even the simple of act of saying sorry is an ordeal for me.

I really wanted to be a catalyst and advocate some changes to a lot of things. See, I am a fault-finder. I pass speedy judgment on almost everything I find erroneous or peculiar and I would really want to think aloud. But to no avail because I know that not all my motives are considered valid. In fact, some of them are just deplorable hoaxes. Nevertheless, my opinions matter a lot to me as much as it should to other people. But the sad reality is that no one cares. It’s horrifying. It’s like watching those fury animals getting killed in Discovery Channel.

My aunt once told me to voice out all my sentiments to avoid heart attacks. Come to think of it, you wouldn’t want yourself to be like that of a water-filled dam. Once full, you detonate and cause severe damage.

My solution for positive catharsis is sublimation. We should sidetrack our negative feelings to do other worthwhile actions to distract ourselves from breaking into an outrage. Instead of screaming at the top of our lungs, why don’t we just read a good book, watch a feel-good movie or perhaps clean up the mess in our rooms? That way we are able to get rid of the negativity plus we are able to do something worthwhile.


I'm not saying that we keep quiet in the corner and stop fighting for our rights. I'm just advocating for diminutive damage. For several times I have provoked other people for having offended me or any of my friends. Yes, I can be your best friend but I can also be a bitch when provoked. So, to all my detractors out there, brace yourselves. LOL, Just kidding! I have said really harsh words to some people over the years but now is the time to change that. There are a hundred ways of solving problems instead of breaking loose and screaming. I strongly believe that nothing can't be solved by a good conversation. If you have problems with a particular person, talk to him. 

After all, screaming doesn’t do you any good and it will only put a dent to your tonsils. Comical but true.
