I think Xander and Agnes’ #roadtoforevermore will include burying their past hurts at the Lost Cemetery.
Would you like to bury “parts of you” at The Lost Cemetery?
I tend to obsess about things that might
go wrong.I put off my morning runs
when it is raining because I have this vision of me slipping and banging my head
on the pavement, bleeding, with people just walking by and not noticing me. I worry about this little mole on my cheek
and my tummy and if I would finish my office report on time. I obsess about my freckles, which I had since
I was a kid, and are now called age spots!
me?), I sometimes have a lot of what-if thoughts.Oh, yes, I do have a creative mind which
creates scenarios growing scarier and more dramatic by the minute. Although these, of course, don’t and will
never happen, this kind of negativity can actually consume you. It does, with me! Thinking of things that might never happen will
just increase my stress level and make me “un-pretty” (ha!)
Bury Your Negativity
But yes, you can bury your negativity
symbolically. In Baguio City, where I live, near the John
Hay Historical Core, you can go to “The Lost Cemetery” / “The Cemetery of
Negativism” and bury your negativity…
Designed by then John Hay Air Base Commander Major John Hightower, the Cemetery of Negativism is a symbolic burial place for all your negativity.
Negative thoughts can be unproductive and will extremely limit your potentials.
In this hill, you gather all those thoughts that are limiting you and bury them. It has been wonderful strolling along the hill as it brought back memories to the time when I was a little girl and actually thought this was a pet cemetery…

I love the idea of a cemetery for negativity, both symbolically and literally..02
Argh, sorry. My cat walked across the keyboard just as I hit Publish and added those last 3 characters.
And I love your wreath too!
I so love this post, this concept, this whole thing! I am a partner in crime with your words, as I to "tend to obsess about things that might go wrong." I live in the land of what-ifs, which actually isn't the greatest place to live (though a child might think so because of the endless imaginative possibilities!) Love your blog! New follower from NaBloPoMo 🙂
I can so relate to that-living in the land of what-ifs, especially if the what ifs are not any good. Hey, purple is actually my favorite color 🙂
I bury my worries in the very back of my mind, where they fester and grow larger and larger until they lead to a full blown panic attack that seems to come from "out of the blue". I think I need a cemetery like this instead. Seems healthier!
Tamara, I do that, too. A lot, and they fester and burst like a big boil (eww)!It is a struggle trying to forget and bury all negativity, but I do try!
I love this! I can think & re-think something until…well I'm good at what you wrote about. Thanks for sharing your words & pictures about burying our negative thoughts! It really helped me! Reia from http://www.southcountrysides.blogspot.com
Reia, believe me, it has been tough trying to battle negativity. I am taking little steps 🙂
Great stuff. Love this post, gave me an idea to put up a website for negativity wherein people can bury or hit them up. Thanks for this.
Ron, I will be looking forward to that website you will be putting up! I will be a regular visitor 😉
Love this idea of burying your negative thoughts. We shouldn't worry things and let's think always think about the things that makes us happy.
There are times that negative thoughts keep pouring and I wish I can bury then in a snap…
Oh let's bury all that negative thoughts but sometimes the ghost of it still hunts us. hehe.

Yay, congratulations on burying negativism! We all need to do that, specially if we are so consumed by them. I've seen this in John Hay but not up close. I'd love to visit this memorial next time I'm in Baguio 🙂
oh i always have those thoughts too, i have the negativity that's why i've always pray to help clean my mind before i go somewhere. this cemetery is quite interesting.
What a great concept! Why not? I'd love to do that, to be able to release the negative vibes is uplifting.
Wow ang galing, I wish I can go to this place – very interesting, as in!
I also love visiting the cemetery of negativity because of the funny tombstones.
I watched Forevermore and that's where I've learned about this cemetery. I will include this in my itinerary if I will go back to Baguio. It is really nice to let go all the fears, negative thoughts and what if's of life.
What a great idea! I want to go there and bury all my negative thoughts.
This is interesting. If I ever we'll go there, we'll check this out.
I think we can really bury all the negative thoughts and stay positive as much as possible for the better and we should not be a victim of the ghost from the past.

I definitely bury my negativity in that cemetery when time permits. For the meantime, I'll bury it at the back of my mind and never let it affect my life again.
Oh, there is such a thing in Baguio City? I am clueless about Forever More. I even thought it is a daniel-kathryn teleserye. I just recently learned about La Presa and I thought it is a fictional place. I have been living under a rock! hehehe
I just heard of that concept now because I wasn't aware of the Lost Cemetery plus I am not watching serye in the tube.
i guess i really need to go to this place since i have some negativity on my minds.
I love the concept… Great post..
Negativeness should certainly be buried. It stifles one and makes it hard to move on and grow.
Thanks for this post. Reminds me to really make the negativity go away to live my life as I wanted it to be!!!
I know this place in Camp John Hay 🙂 hoping that there is a really area to bury your all negative
thoughts
I remember Forevermore again! hehe. Pero I didn't watch this part kasi konting konti lang ang napanood ko. Pero I made sure to watch the ending. This is a great way to complety forget all the things that hurt us in the past.
I really love the idea of " The Lost Cemetery" where you can bury all your negative thoughts. I have few to bury hehehe and yes I'm a fan of Forevermore and Pangako Sayo.

And good riddance! Truth be told, I don't like hanging around people who are so full of negativism. I don't like that to drag me down. So good for John Hay for having a place like this, hehe.
I'm going to visit this place at some point! This is such a great idea to burried all those negative things in life and what if. Thanks for sharing Sis

Such a good idea to have a cemetery for burying all those negativity! Will look for that when I come back to Baguio.
There is something known as the Law of Attraction. If you keep thinking about something, you will attract that. Since that is the case, you might as well, think about positive things and attract something great!
I used to see that cemetery in Baguio but never managed to get close to it. WE do need to bury some of the negativity we have in our lives.
