(Backstage Pass Series: Ticket #1) When Karen Horney stated that every human being has the basic need for love and security, it wasn't just a mere theory but a fact that justified people's agitation when they were alienated. Pero minsan, una lang naman na 'tin nararamdaman ang takot sa pagiging mag-isa lalo na kapag nasanay na lang tayo na walang kinakapitan. Defense mechanism, isolation, detachment...things that people tend to do when they feel like they are being left out. Understandable, but then, how would you treat those people who were willing to be with you after years of feeling alone? The fear of abandonment and being left out made you push people away because of the perception that it is better that it was you who left rather than to be left out. And that's the case for Reece Giovanne Argyros, the total opposite of his famous brother Reed Gustave Argyros. After the traumatic experience that he had with his father, his mother dying, and a brother who moved forward without them realizing how the phenomenon tainted his...young heart. Gusto niyang maintindihan, bakit? Bakit nagagawa nila ang gano'ng bagay habang siya ay nanatili sa madilim na nakaraan nang nag-iisa at kahit pa nakasanayan na, takot pa rin na maranasang maiwan ulit? He tried things to understand them. He rebelled, he played with the fire, he kissed the edge of a knife, drank poison...everything that reminds him of danger that has lurked around since he was a kid. The danger that he used to play with but eventually learns to...love it. And just like the thing that he does, he played with the danger. He played with her and ended up...loving her. But the fear stays, even how much he tries to live in the light, the fear will be there, lurking in the dark poking him. He was scared to feel the same pain again... that he ended up hurting her rather than being the one who would get hurt in the end. - Official Date Started: November 10, 2023 Date Ended: -
