IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A CENTIPEDE, WHY IS THERE NO SUCH THING AS AN "EMOPEDE"?

          When I was young, I would usually spend more time with girls than boys. Sure, I have my own guy friends but I'm much more attached with girl friends when I was young. No, I wasn't evolving to become a homo, but the real reason why I spend more time with them is because ever since I was a kid, I was always being bullied. And since I've been keeping all these emotions inside of me, I became weaker and weaker. Until, I figured out that girls were more fond of expressing themselves than boys were.

          Ever since then, I would somehow find myself talking to one and asking them about emotional stuff. But since I now spend more time with them, I often get teased as "loser", "gay", and other words for me that are tacenda (better left unsaid).

          But to be honest, it made a positive turn as I grew up. Yeah sure, I may not be popular but many people seek help from me like I'm some sort of psychologist. Maybe this was the reason why I wanted to pursue Psychology if I wasn't taking up Journalism.

          Many people started asking me for advice, just like Arnold from the Nickelodeon show, "Hey, Arnold!" which was actually one of my favorite Nick shows when I was still in my elem days. Many came to talk about love, their relationships, their family, and some even cried in front of me.

          I was stunned by the overwhelming response.

          I have seen almost all of my best friends cry right in front of me (from elementary up 'til now, here in college) whenever I give them "the talk" and you know what, they thank me afterwards. It felt good because I know I helped a few people smile again! Because most people I know can't even give a good advice on simple things.

          And that's how I became who I am now: a shy, sensitive guy who's ears is open 24/7 -- except for frustrated singers (just kidding). And this helped me in my art of poetry writing, singing, composing songs, with my music, and my friends. So should I thank the bullies?
