Elephants have hearts of gold....
This just makes me wanna cry!!!!
That one book you kept.
Keeps falling from the shelf.
wanting you to read it again.
Nakalimutan ko ung sasabihin ko, kakaisip sayo.
A cheating boyfriend becomes a cheating husband. A lying boyfriend becomes an untrustworthy husband. It’s called SEE-SAW, what you SEE in marriage is what you SAW in the relationship. If he’s not a good boyfriend, he won’t be a good husband. Adjust your crown and keep moving, queen.
Hindi inaasahang magkita kung saan dating magkasama, bumalik lakat ng ala ala saakin na parang kahapon lang magkasama pasensya na mahal parin pala kita.
a bunch of random things life has taught me in no particular order:
happy moments should be cherished, not over-thought
people will come and go no matter how long you wait for them or how badly you want them to stay
making new friends opens up whole new worlds
apologies can make all the difference
random acts of kindness can change someone’s day from bad to bearable
the only person you’re stuck with is you so learn to love, forgive, and accept yourself
sometimes the worst people for us are the ones we think are the best
it’s not selfish to be personally hurt by something and anyone who tells you otherwise probably feels guilty themselves
the world can feel ugly at times, but don’t overlook the beautiful things or they may just not be there one day
tell people you love that you love them even if you think it’s implied
don’t betray your friends
being yourself takes time since change happens often, so it’s okay to not know who you are at any given time
never give up on your dreams or you’ll regret all the things you could’ve done
don’t ever lose yourself in the name of love
trust yourself
life has its highs and lows, so be prepared for how low the lows can be
do things spontaneously— just for the fun of it
better to regret than to wonder “what if” forever
always make sure people know you’re there for them
there’s never a perfect time, and if you wait too long, you lose your chance
everyone has shit going on in their lives, so be kind to people
always be thankful for the people who have stuck around
don’t waste time beating yourself up over things you can’t change
if you’re trying to decide between holding on and letting go, it’s probably time to let go
hug longer
shoutout to 2020 me for writing these and them not being super cringe to look back on
Why give your best when you're going to be replaced anyway?
If this is another almost, I can't do it anymore.
i'm all the people i've ever loved

(a realization about dialogue formatting, from a comic artist turned novelist.)
One of the first things a novice writer learns about speech tags is that they’re part of the “scaffolding” of prose. They should be largely invisible to the reader: use them when necessary, omit them when not, and be sparing in the application of verbs other than “said”. They serve only the function of clarifying who is speaking when it is necessary to do so.
Except:
Sometimes you might want to use a speech tag in spite of the redundancy. The fact that the reader’s eyes slide right over them is an exploitable property. By slicing a line of dialogue in half with a speech tag, you can force the reader to perceive a meaningful pause between two utterances—and the effect is much stronger than you might get out of an ellipsis or an em dash. Developing an intuition for when and how to do this is a huge part of learning to write dialogue, I think.
(And yes: if you ever wondered, this is exactly same the reason why comic artists sometimes “double bubble” their speech bubbles. Same end, different means!)
