When ever I think about you, I focus on the bad stuff. The way you made me feel small, the way you reminded me daily how I wasn’t good enough, they way you broke me heart. Because if I think about the good stuff like the way you held my hand, the way I could call you at 4am and you’d always pick up, the way we sung that song in the car, the way you loved me. If I think about all of that. I might be forced to admit that I still love you.

I read your words thinking they’re about me, but alas they are not.

I know you. The real you, the person that you don’t show to the world. You told me you love me, and I told you I love you back. Not in the past tense nor the future but now. You and I could have honestly been something real, you and I both know that. But now you’re chasing after her, I mean, why wouldn’t you? Everyone likes her, she’s the pretty one, the popular one, the one who is nicer, more gentle, and less awake of this world. I guess I failed to tell you that you had put stars in my pitch-black sky, and I thrived because of you. But, you soon decided I wasn’t good enough and you took all of my stars away and gave them to her. She always got attention from guys. Yet you realized too late, that there was no room in her sky because there was already countless of stars present from other boys, you came crawling back to me soon after.

Do not fall in love with him. Don’t pay attention to the way his eyes light up when he laughs at one of your jokes. Don’t think that his arm slung around your shoulder signals deeper feelings. Do not answer his call at three in the morning. He’s drunk and sad and wants someone to talk to about his “woman problems.” He’s not confiding in you because he loves you. I know it’s hard to hear, but you’re his shoulder to cry on, not the lips he wants to kiss, hands he wants to hold, heart he wants to love. Do not imagine scenarios of the two of you. They’re not real. He doesn’t whisper that he loves you as he falls asleep. He doesn’t run to hug you or playfully sing you songs. Wake up. Don’t let your hope swell for all waves are doomed to crash eventually. Do not cling to what-ifs and maybes. Listen, do not dream of forever. Because a lover can be a friend, but a friend isn’t a lover.

Excerpt from a book I’ll never write

Hey Future Self, How have you been? You must be smiling right now, did my decisions today went well? If not, I hope you understand why I chose this way. Are you happy? If yes, you are truly proud and honored! I guess, my overall journey sprinkled with failures, pain, sadness, hardships and heartbreaks became your recipe to your happiness. Remember that day you were stuck and couldn’t find a way to move forward? Remember how many times you have questioned your existence? You keep trying to figure out who you really are, where do you belong and what is your purpose? Remember how scared you are to let someone go out of your life because you’re afraid of being alone? So, you keep holding on even if there’s nothing to hold on; you keep looking for your worth within someone else. Remember how you left yourself with withered flowers, yet you planted flowers on someone’s yard? Well, look at you. You have made it this far! Life may not offered you the most clarity, however, you’ve come along the way. I am glad you have learned to let go of your fears and embrace pain for what it is. As terrifying yet beautiful, how it is right now for me, and was back then for you, that you have become your own best friend. Though you still have that space in your heart to love everyone—your family, friends and even those who have hurt you. I am certain that this quality of you and me remain. Anyway, how are they treating you there? Did they made their promise that they’ll stay? Or did they leave you like some other people did to me? But you see, I know everything that’s not happening for me right now has a bigger plan for you. Don’t worry, you should know that all the stress and pain I am drowning in right now were the key to who I need to be—and that’s the person you are right now. I just want to remind you that you are not what they define you—you are you. A poetry trapped in a girl’s body, a word that was not yet spoken, a book that was not yet published; a masterpiece. And if there is still no one to tell you that, just don’t forget who you are. I hope you are stronger, braver, healthier and happier than you were the day before. Sometimes, I want to catch up with you faster, because often times, when emptiness hit me, I seem to crash.  But trust me, I am working every single day to make myself better for you. The thing is, I am starting to love myself today, but I am excited and I do love the thought of you. The reason I’m telling you this is because I want you to remember how much you’ve already lived in the little moments that have shaped your world and molded your heart in the most beautiful way possible. I want you to accept the wonders of this crazy journey that only you have lived and that you continue to live. I want you to appreciate everything and everyone, as much as I do right now. Although I am the past to you, I still am very much you. In this moment in time, I don’t know where you are or what you do, or who you become, but I’m still you. anyway What I do know is for you to be the best version of myself. And when that day comes, I will be proud of the person you are. I also want you to know that I am doing just fine and so are you. I will continue to be “old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway.” So, laugh about all the silly mistakes I am making at the moment and be grateful, because it led you to be the person you are right now. Whatever happens, keep going! Much love, Your past self

I thought we couldn’t be because I was oil and you were water but it turns out we’re both a little oil just searching for the right things in the wrong places.

be the one who reaches out a hand to those on the ground, not the one who kicks them when they’re already down.

Isn’t it sad?“ “What is?” “The idea that some believe that no one can ever love them.” “They just don’t realize that love doesn’t just exist for some people but can exist in anyone’s life. They just got to believe that they deserve it.

You touched my body and stole my heart. Now, with out you here the only warm thing around is the tears i shed over our forgotten love.

[excerptsofstories]

I’ve lost all of my energy, but no one else understands that. That my mind is running with thoughts and wants constantly, but my body just wants to stay at rest. I’m so drained; there are times when sitting up feels like too much, when the world just feels like too much. But no one understands that. They just tell me I’m lazy. But they don’t know, they don’t know that I don’t want to be like this — that I want to do so much more than lie down.

[excerptsofstories]

Dear What If, 358 days later, it still aches me to write this, but here’s a letter, or something of the sort, listing down the reasons my heart still hurts at the mention of your name. I’m confused by the ambivalence of my feelings; I’m torn between hating you and missing you. It breaks my heart to see not even a trace of sadness in your deep brown eyes, to see you smiling that carefree goofy half-smile I never saw enough of. I suppose it’s your newfound freedom that triggers the carefree expression upon your beautifully sculpted face. Getting over you is a hopeless crusade I’ve been on for the past year, because without the all too familiar gut-wrenching heartache, I’m empty on the side. I gave you the power to make me feel whole, complete, and now I’m devoid of that feeling altogether. I knew your feelings for me were a temporary high, and now I’m hungover in the worst way possible. I’ve built up my walls, and they stand tall and painted blue. It’s impossible to get across, but you seem to have the power to knock them down by uttering just a single word, and I feel as vulnerable as I did that night. I’d still like to believe that there’s hope for us to rebuild the bridges that we lit on fire and burnt to ashes. I don’t want to be rid of the memories, of you, and I don’t want to hate you. Im still yours for the taking, and the verdict still stands.

People ask me all the time if something is wrong, but I’ve found that something is always wrong with me, and people tend to get tired of hearing the same thing over and over again.
