The benefit of the doubt.

It's so amazing how the most simple gestures and words can affect a relationship. Sometimes, I just can't help but laugh it off because of the way some people would speak. There are some who would take something way too seriously even though it's half-meant or even told as just a mere joke. Some would take something serious as a joke. Then some would lash out at another person, rant with someone, or kahit ano pang diskarte mo para lang makahanap ng outlet or kakampi.

I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Kasi naman diba, siguro may dahilan kaya kailangan nilang gawin yun. The "benefit of the daw" pa nga eh, kung pwede rin yun. Kasi ang dami na masyadong nasasabi ng iba-ibang tao.

I can't tell anymore. And quite honestly, nakakapagod din. Ang hirap nang i-dissect ang pag-iisip ng tao just so you can tell whether they're still acting so juvenile at sinasadya na lang, or kung totoo nga at... ewan. Whatever.

"Ang plastic mo."
"Kailangan din maging plastic dito no."

I've been hearing this brief conversation for years.

I thought people had buried certain issues already. Hindi pala madali para sa kanila ang forgive and forget. Nagmamatigas kasi siguro sila kaya they still carry grudges.

Plastic. Transparent. You can be either. You can be both.

Stop talking trash, people.

'Yun lang.
