Here we go again

It's not like it could never happen

It's just that --

Why does it feel like the end?

[halfheartedhalfway]

Just really want to put this on here 🧡

the worst fate is to live my life without you in it.

You don’t have to stay here. Why? Should we run off and join a pirate ship? He looks at her, and inhales, about to talk. Jo sees his face and immediately knows what is about to happen. (panicking) No, Teddy – please don’t. It’s no use Jo; we’ve got to have it out..

Jo cries and cries. Her heart is breaking, even though she is the one who broke it.

The people protesting to open businesses up don’t want to go back to work, they want *you* to go back to work so they can go to a movie or a restaurant.

Like how the saying goes, “there’s nothing like your first love.”

Yes, it is true. But isn’t that kind of the point?

Isn’t the purpose of our first love to also be our first heartbreak? To ground us instead of having the illusion that love conquers all? To remind that hurt also comes with happiness?

I think our first love wasn’t meant to stay.

Your present, and/or future, love may feel insecure or may feel that you just don’t love them like your high school sweetheart. Please remind them that that is a good thing. Remind them how your first love broke your heart and learned from it. Remind them that you love them better now because you have been hurt and that you are ready now, you are ready for your ‘one great love”, you are ready for your ever after.

it will always be a love i'd treasure forever. a love we know requires hard work. a love that involves choosing the other despite the imperfections. a love so great that it fills my heart and it overflows. 💞

[halfheartedhalfway]

Baby,

If you have met me earlier in life I would have equated forgiveness with imperfections and imperfections are not worthy of love. I had this idea that we had to put our best foot forward for the other person to love us.

If you had met me earlier in life, I would have associated understanding with shortcomings and shortcomings meant we are not worthy of love.

As time passed on, a few heartbreaks later, I have learned that imperfections meant we have reasons to love the other person more. I have learned that we dont have to be perfect to be worthy of lobe because no one is. You have loved me despite my imperfections which helped me love myself more and accept myself more. I thank you for everything, baby. ☺

After an episode of petty, brought-by-insecurity rant by me and after making up he said,

"Maldita",

like saying a tree is a tree or a rock is a rock

In reply, still full of pride and the urge to bring up nonsense again, I said,

"Ngano ni-enter"

With that lovely faint smile and conviction in his eyes he says,

"No regrets."

And my heart melts like hot espresso poured on top of vanilla ice cream. It's the little things that make us want to give up and also little things that keeps us holding on.

I have always believed that love is a choice -- a constant, deliberate choice. Sometimes I succomb to the myth that love just comes easy and it gives you butterflies on your stomach but on the contrary love is anything but easy. It is complicated and tiring and involves a lot of compromise.

However, it's also the force that pulls you back everytime the thought of giving up comes to your mind. It's the little voice in your head warning you your making another mistake of letting the illusion of freedom from relationships get in the way of making a future with a person willing to cross oceans for you.

I have no idea how to end this entry but I'm just happy to be sharing this small part of a conversation with you. 😊

Can I Keep You?

Can I keep you?

I wish just to have

Every day after this

By your side.

Can I keep you?

I wish just to beg

For more kisses

From your lips.

Can I keep you?

Every goodbye

Feels like walking away

From my home.

From "di kita makita sa aking future, di ko makita na ikaw ang pakasalan ko"

to this:

It feels different when you know someone is very determined to make you an important part of their life, that they will do anything to make you stay. It feels good. This will not be an easy ride but I'm willing to go through rough seas with you.
