Donating Blood

Image
"A GIFT OF BLOOD IS A GIFT OF LIFE" I just had a first time moment today. Yes, I donated blood! My first time to donate. Papa told us to donate blood. He told us that he bought blood for my grand-father at Red Cross when he got sick so we have to replace the blood with ours. I don't think there's nothing wrong with that since they say donating blood is good for the health. I thought I would faint when I saw the needle during the blood letting process. I can't imagine I have a strong heart haha! Blood donation is really not for fainted heart, so assess yourself first. Anyway, it does not hurt that much. During the hemoglobin process the needle caught me off guard, it hurts for a short period. source Here are the reasons why donating blood is good for you. Blood donation is an excellent way to reduce the amount of iron accumulated in our body. While iron is, without doubt, a necessary mineral, excess iron can stimulate the formation of free radicals

The Art of Letting Go

source Learning the art of letting go is pretty hard. It’s hard to let go of people, to let go of the feelings and memories. Lately, I realized I care too much. I care too much for people who don’t even care about me. Sometimes, how I wish I wasn’t that nice and not to care even once. I know this is clichĂ© but life is so short, too short to waste a single minute with anyone who doesn’t appreciate or value you.   Maybe that’s why it’s hard for me to let go of people that come and go my way. source I find it hard to let go especially when you got attached to it. I think it’s time I have to learn the art of letting go in order for me to move on and look forward to the best days ahead of me. Everyone that joins in my journey is meant to be in my journey however they are not meant to stay there forever.   I was just over-thinking things and sometimes over-thinking can ruin your feelings and situation or worse than you can actually imagine. It happens a lot to me.

Overwhelming Days and Nights

There are times I have no idea what I should do first. The stressors in life are overwhelming I must say. Every-time I think of it, why should I bother worrying too much? I should at least prioritize my feelings first. During those times I have to think of pulling myself up for the benefit of everybody, I feel like floating.  I don't know if it's right or wrong to pretend and disregard my feelings. Of course, I certainly know the answer to that, I just keep on hiding that inside me, knowing I have to be strong for the people around me and for those people who loves me.  img source
