Your relationship should be your place of peace. It should be the place where all armor comes off, egos are humbled, and transparency reigns supreme.

People who spontaneously take the time to tell you they’re proud of you are so necessary.

What are you supposed to do when you no longer feel appreciated?

“I wonder how they could yell Barabbas instead of Jesus. I wonder how they sang Hosanna and days later, Crucify him. I wonder how Pontius could wash his hands of it, as though a dirty conscience could be so easily cleaned. But – I am Barabbas, sinner set free. I yell Crucify him as I sing praises with ease. I am Pontius, who turned a blind eye to glory. And yet, so Christ still died for me. Still he died, where I should be, a perfect love on that tree.”

— J.S. Park

In the midst of silence

Surrounded with anxiety and fear,

You came to my rescue

And assured me you're here.

In the midst of chaos

When I start lose myself,

You stayed the same

To show me Your grace.

Love is not an affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

C.S. Lewis (via thecreativechristianap)

Ang lungkot pwe

[marshxmallows]

“But it’s different this time.”

Those words. Those words are the truth and the lie and everything in between. Because it is different. I’m a different person. You’re a different person. The impressions we’ve made on each other have molded and formed us into new beings. The scars and the bruises we’ve acquired since we last spoke have changed us, jaded us, maybe even healed us.

It is different.

But then it’s the same.

It’s the same pattern we fall into. We fall apart, we spontaneously combust, words are exchanged like daggers. We hurt each other and walk away wounded, finding healing in anything but the other. And then once the bleeding has stopped, once the cuts have scabbed over, we fall back together, swearing that this time we won’t get hurt. Maybe because we’ve already suffered the brunt of it. Picking a scab doesn’t hurt as much as the first incision. Maybe because we’ve just grown numb to it. We are our own novacane.

But even though it’s different, we are different, I can’t seem to shake it.

/Can’t find words to describe how strongly I can relate to this..

Buti sana kung siya magaauthor nung story. E hndi. Ako. Pag may facts na hindi nagustuhan ng mga gov't bodies na natawagan ko, kaninong pangalan masisira? Sa'kin, hindi sa kanya. Sa'kin.

You

Please stop treating me like a piece of crap - like I don’t/didn’t matter, like I wasn’t your confidant when your life was a mess, like I didn’t let you feel how valuable you were to me when you had no one, like I didn’t go the extra mile for you, like I didn’t validate your feelings when you were just purely being incompetent. 

Stop pretending that you do not understand me because I’ve been understanding you for years already - I’ve been the most patient person when it comes to you, when it comes to believing in you and in what you can do. 

I’ve been nagging you lately because I want you to remember the good parts that we had. So I hope in times like these, when I’m the one who needs you to understand me, you remember the many days I made your day bright.

I’m affirmed that you know deep down in your selfish yet vulnerable heart, I made you feel important. I prioritized you and your feelings. I have wholly accepted you as you are. 

But I also hope you remember that I have traded and will always trade the stars for you, and your happiness.
