Busy Thumbs Sunset to Dawn

Sometimes things happen unexpectedly. Anything can happen at anytime. I was sleeping when I received a message which contains lyrics of Calla Lily's MAGBABALIK Song. It was already quarter to six but then I didn't mind it though. I continued taking a nap and after a few minutes, I realized that my mother would come so I have to take a bath and so I did.

After taking a bath, I checked my phone a reviewed my messages. Then I noticed one name whose very rare in my inbox so I sent him a reply. I was sort of making fun of him that he's lamenting. And there, we started opening topics relating to his life, my life and our lives as classmates. We got busy sharing stories and ideas for nine full hours.

During that time, I realized that people's got their own set of unique struggles. You may think that a person could be the most insensitive person in the world and not to think that it was an after effect of one experience of being so sensitive. You could never tell a person's worth unless you know him. And that I realized that you could never conclude with rumors alone.

Sometimes I wish telling details but I have to keep it myself. If you know who I am, and the people I have in school. You'll be amazed of what facts I have here. I once thought the lives of others seem so basic, shallow and simple of how I see them as of the manner they are placed in the society. But then, I ended up corrected with my one experience: this experience.

I thought he didn't know he was stupid but then I arrived saying myself I also am stupid. I even thought he was happy, but the truth is, he was so damn sad. I thought he was just playing but he was playing it for real. That would be all I can say for now. This maybe so shallow because I have given no details at all. But I could not just give details with the demand of privacy. So just let it be.

This is the first time I came up with a statement that I like the most. I am referring to the sentence in bold text.

"You could never tell a person's worth unless you know him."
