Sometimes i have this thought na sana nagpaka gago nalang ako para naman fair enough sa mga ex ko. Kasi tangina? Curious talaga ako kung ano feeling ng nagchcheat 🤔
Hindi mo na mababawi iniwang sakit sa mga salitang binitiwan mo
Dear, God. If I hurt others, please give me courage to apologize. But if people hurt me, please give me strength to forgive.
Reyna Biddy (via kushandwizdom)
Before you sleep tonight, forgive everyone who has harmed you and pray that everyone you might have harmed unintentionally, forgives you.
if you’re up at 3am comparing yourself to people, i’d like you to know that you’re doing okay; there’s nothing wrong about you. you deserve to feel loved despite of your mistakes; you’re worthy of appreciation especially by yourself; and that, you deserve to witness the future unfold success because you have the capability to change your life. keep going!
1. you cannot love like a bullet, in a rush, with too much adrenaline, you’ll feel that quick regret you’ve aimed wrong 2. Sometimes you will breathe and nothing will come of it, you will live to the next moment, like wading in floodwater, with unclear motivation, and a sort of weariness, it’s ok. 3. Don’t let somebody ever talk you out of trusting your heart 4. A boy will rip you open, and light will flood into your soul for the first time in a long time. Let the initial shock roll off of you and enjoy it. 5. If you have to convince somebody to stay with you, they are already gone. 6. Growing will feel a lot like breaking, keep going. 7. You will feel more peaceful the more you obey your nature 8. If you spend too much time trying to decide what you want to be, all you will ever be known for is indecisiveness 9. The only love you have ever seen is the kind that eats people alive, the kind that wears a mask, I swear there is a better kind, there is a warmth you can trust. 10. The scars that will be the deepest and hardest to heal will not be from lovers.

10 pieces of advice to give yourself at the age of 20
At the age of 11, you learned that perfection does not always mean a flat tummy and a thigh gap. Go on and eat that second piece of cookie that you crave so much.
At the age of 12, you learned that just because you call her “mom” and him as “dad,” it doesn’t mean they inherently know how to be that. Also, suicide poison is not the cure for everything, it’s not a cure at all.
At the age of 13, you learned the difference between giving up and taking a rest. You might have given it your all but not make it. Remember to disregard everything that comes after but.
At the age of 14, you learned that standing up for everyone else does not mean that all of them will stand up for you when you need someone. Not one of them would be the first one to defend you, that spot is reserved for your name.
At the age of 15, you learned that people rarely mean what they say even if as a writer, you deem each and every word important. Learn to know the voices that speak sincerity and the voices that are just trying to get into your pants.
At the age of 16, you learned that letting go of people that only brings toxicity in your life is never a crime. Thinking about your own peace of mind does not make you selfish. Neither does placing yourself above that last number on your priority list.
At the age of 17, you learned that giving yourself to everyone willing could only lead to one thing: your own’s deterioration. Dear, you are more precious than someone who can’t even look into your eyes in the morning.
At the age of 18, you learned that loving and accepting yourself are two different things. Placing yourself in situations you are well aware of your self distraction is never loving yourself.
At the age of 19, you learned that lovers are not the only ones that can break your heart. People stay and go for a reason. Remember to treasure the rightful ones that life allowed to stay.
You’re 20 now and life has never been what you expected and planned it to be and that’s possibly the greatest thing that can happen into your life. You’re a writer but life writes with you, know when to let it leave significant marks and know when your own pen should be the one doing so.

I love the 3 AM version of people. Vulverable. Honest. Real.

ok lang naman sakin makipag gaguhan basta siguraduhin mo na kaya mong panindigan yan.
sa totoo lang, nakakapagod bumalik sa umpisa. magkukwentuhan, magtatawawanan, magbibigay ng impormasyon sa isa’t isa pero sa dulo? wala rin. may pumapalit sa nawawala pero nawawala rin ang pumapalit. ganun ba talaga yon? paulit-ulit na lang kasi. magtitiwala ka pero sisirain. magmamahal ka pero sasayangin. magsisimula sa simpleng “hello”, “hi”, “kumusta?” pero magtatapos rin sa salitang “paalam”. minsan nga wala na eh, naglaho na lang bigla. naiwan ka na naman sa ere at pilit mong tinatanong yung sarili mo kung bakit? paano? ano bang nagawa ko? saan ako nagkulang? maraming tanong na maski sa sarili mo eh hindi mo kayang sagutin. kaso wala eh, kahit ano pa siguro gawin mo kung iiwan ka, iiwan ka talaga. sino pa nga ba aasahan mo kundi yung sarili mo lang.
Hindi pa ba malinaw sayo na hindi ka na mahalaga sakanya kagaya noong dati?

ANG KONSEPTO NG CLOSURE AY HINDI PARA SA INIWAN AT NANG-IWAN
Sabi kasi nila, kelangan daw ng closure para tuluyan kang makapagmove-on. Kelangan mong malaman ang eksaktong dahilan kung bakit kayo naghiwalay para maging malinaw sa’yo ang lahat. ‘Cos not knowing can be the worst feeling of all.
Pero kapag ba nasagot lahat ng tanong mo makakamove-on ka na nun? Maniniwala ka ba sa isasagot niya o may ineexpect kang sagot para sa kanya dahil naka-plot na sa utak mo yung mga gusto mong marinig? Di ka na ba masasaktan? Kung ganon din lang eh di sana ginawa na lang tableta o capsule yang closure na yan at ipinagbili na lang sa botika.
Ang closure ay isang malaking excuse lang para paulit-ulti mong sabihin sa sarili mo na mahirap magmove-on. Na dumedepende ka pa rin sa kapirasong salitang pwede mong marinig sa kanya para masabi mong okay ka na.
When one ends a relationship, that’s it! Tapos na. Wala ng Book 2. Wala ng Part 2. The End. Hindi ka na pwedeng humirit pa ng 4-hrs finale para mai-justify ang ending niyong dalawa. Wag mong idepende ang feelings mo sa taong iniwan ka na.
No matter how it ended, kesyo bigla na lang hindi nagparamdam o nalaman mo na lang na may iba nang kinakalantari or nagkaroon kayo ng formal break-up sa harap ng 7eleven habang sinisimot ang tirang yelo ng Slurpee, yun na yon. You. Broke. Up. Ano pa bang closure ang kelangan? Hindi ka na niya mahal. Hindi pa ba sapat na closure yon?
Minsan kinakailangan mo lang ng closure dahil meron kang “ideal way” ng pakikipagbreak. May gusto kang paraan kung paano kayo maghihiwalay. Kase ang gusto natin ay yung breakup na hindi tayo masyadong masasaktan. Yung “medyo masakit na break-up” lang. Eh wala naman kasing ganun. Break-ups never happen the way we want them too. Unless may pa-eulogy pa kayo sa isa’t-isa habang kumakanta ang Madrigal Singers ng ‘Hindi Kita Malilimutan” or may pa-impromptu kayo habang lumalaklak ng beer.
Ang konsepto ng closure ay hindi para sa iniwan at sa nang-iwan. It’s between you and yourself that you have to work things out. Wag mong ipaubaya sa “konsepto ng closure" yung kahihinatnan ng damdamin mo. Tamad mo magmove-on eh no? Sariling sikap tayo hoy. Ang issue dito ay hindi na tungkol sa’yo at sa kanya. Sa’yong sa’yo na ‘to. Ito yung kung paano mo tatanggapin sa sarili mo na tapos na ang lahat ng meron sa inyo at hindi na pwedeng ibalik pa. ‘Cos a break-up alone is already a closure.
Case closed. Uwian na. Walang nanalo. Pareho kayong talo.
