Supply vs Demand

More than a thousand nurses came to apply for a job that would only hire few applicants. I feel sad when I looked around the venue, all of us were hoping to land a job that the government offered. We were like bunnies that were running after a single carrot that the government holds.

Then my imagination went crazy while waiting in line for my number to be called, --What if these people were zombies and all of them wants something but instead of brains, it is a job they need. Then World War Z came to mind, what if there was 1 spot left and you have to fight your way to get it? I know some would definitely participate. It would be blood bath! It would be chaos!--

Gosh! This is worst than the licensure exam, thinking that these people have different reasons why they wanted the job. It was like we were fighting for our life, a battle that less than a few would win.

When being strong is the only choice you've got.

When you wanna break down, when you need a hug, when everything is messed up, when you need someone to talk to, and no one is there but yourself, what would you do? Nothing. You have to do it all by yourself. You want to break down? Please!Feel free to do so, in the confines of your own room. You need a hug? You can use your pillows for that, you can even cry on it too if you also need a shoulder to cry on. You need someone to talk to? I advice you to create your own blog or if you are one of those people who love to vent their feelings in the social media, maybe you'll be lucky and get a comment or two that says "it's ok, you'll be fine" and when everything is messed up, SUCK IT UP! Tomorrow, everything will be better but when it doesn't, that's too bad. ;) 

Sometimes, it sucks when people think that you are strong and your problems don't bother you. When your friends look up to you and ask for your advice, sometimes you feel that you have no right to ask for advice from them because you are the "STRONG" one and you should know the answers to your own problems. Maybe your friends don't feel that or maybe they do but do you think they are your real friends when they only know you if they need your advice? Well, it doesn't matter anyway as long as you stay as the real friend.

Being strong for yourself is hard work and when being strong is the only thing to do, remember that sandpapers are used to polish a magnificent woodwork.
