A Short Narrative

A Short Narrative

Hi! Welcome to this blog. I didn't really know what kind of content I am going to put in this work but I thought to myself, maybe I can tell you some things from my mind that I can express. So, here goes. 😀

I guess, I'd start this off by stating my name. I am Althea Marie Oliveros Gliane. I don't know the history of my name nor do I wanna know. I never really liked my second name, I think it works best without it lol. My surname, on the other hand, is pronounced gli-ya-ne. 8 out of 10 people that I meet mispronounce it and I don't blame them. I mean if it was me, I'd pronounce it wrong as well. People call me Thea (te-ya) as my nickname and whenever I think about it, I feel like the name Thea doesn't suit my appearance. Like, if you see me for the first time and guess my name, Thea would be at the very last one of your guesses. Maybe in my next life, I'd hope for a better name that'd suit me. Yes, I believe in reincarnation as stupid as it sounds. I know that when we die, we just die. You know, be asleep for the whole eternity; it's what I know. But the idea of an endless loop is fascinating to me and I'd like to believe that when my time is over, I could start again and destroy my life differently. I'm a thinker, you see. I only stop thinking when I fell asleep and believe me, falling asleep is hard. I wouldn't say I'm an insomniac but it takes me hours to fall asleep. The reason? Because I think. When there's something bothering me, it would automatically bother me more at night when there's nothing for me to do but close my eyes and force my consciousness away. But some of the times, the reason for my screwed up sleeping schedule is because of music. I am addicted to music and I couldn't live a day without it to the point where this one particular song would keep on playing in my head and it wouldn't let me go to sleep. It may sound so simple and shallow but trust me, it's really hard to get it off my mind.

Speaking of music, I really like The 1975. Their songs are phenomenal and I think you should listen to their songs sometimes, it'd be worth it. Aside from The 1975, there are also some bands that I listen to: My Chemical Romance, Mayday Parade, Paramore, Pale Waves and Pierce the Veil. As you may have noticed, I'm a fan of pop punk, but I'm not emo, I swear. Just a little. When it comes to pop, there's Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello, One Direction and lots more that I listen to. Music is such a wonderful thing and one of the reasons for me to keep on living. It touches your soul in a way where nothing could ever. It is the same as laying down on the roof at 12 midnight and just staring at the crescent moon along with the cold yet warm wind brushing your face. Such a wonderful thing.

In my 17 years of existence, I've come to realize that nothing in this universe really matters. You could become just a beggar in the street or a billionaire and be forgotten after years. When you think about it, you are just a tiny speck of dust in a big vast universe and the world goes on with or without you. So what's the point of living, then? I think it's for us to decide. It's like writing your own comic book; your life depends on how you will perceive it. And as for me, I have decided to be a twig being flown in a rushing river. Everything society does, I must do. I think that's how we get by. It's not like I asked to be born and get a life insurance, no? 😂 But, as what they say, it is what it is.

Thank you for taking your time reading this, I hope I've shared at least a little bit of thoughts in my mind to you. Take care, traveler!
