I want to cry, but I can't. I just want my life to end now; I'm just so tired, you know.

I just don't want to feel this again. I don't want to bear feeling this over and over.

If you see something wrong, don't be quiet about it. Call it out. Even if sometimes it almost feels like a waste of energy. Some people may not listen, but the right ones will.

A simple gesture no matter how little always makes an impact and influences a change. So put it out there, be heard, take your space.

26 years ✨️

The older I get, the less I care about the way I look and perceived by other people. I focus more on what I can give more than what I cannot receive. I became less bitter and I don't blame life anymore for being unfair, because now I understand that the world just simply doesn't owe me anything. I walk into life knowing I have a choice, that I am in control of my life, and if it seems I don't have an option, then it means I have to create one for myself.

I learned that I am sensitive, so I try to protect myself from the things that I know can hurt me. I learned to give myself credit for the things I think I did good, and never wait for others to recognize it. I discovered that I am hard to move on, and so I try my best to encourage myself to get up everytime I stumble.

I try to find the strength within myself, nurture it, use it, and share it with people who depend on me. I try to be less defensive, and be confident with my intentions.

I am still learning to be more empathetic, so I could understand people without judgement. All these years I kept myself to myself. For the years to come, I want to learn to share my life with others, be a part of this world, all while protecting my peace.

Unfortunately, in life, you don't always get what you deserve.

Never expect anyone to supplement what's lacking in your life. Be the person you needed for yourself.

I have my own shits going on and sometimes I want to face them alone.

We don't always need company to feel mattered. I matter to me, and I like being able to come and go without the need of explaining my story.

Do you actually know what a normal person is? Without social media, who are you?

Most of the time, I love my drafts more than the ones that got publish. I like it raw, unedited. I love the way how words just come out.

I've never been this steady in a long time. Quiet, just saving my energy. I don't want exciting anymore. Right now, I just enjoy this simple and boring life. This is how I want it. Normal. Just not sad.

"You're not interested in me. You want me to be interested in you."

Gosh, I hope I haven't ruined it.

I will write again. ♡

The worst feeling is being stuck feeling a certain way. It just wouldn't change no matter how hard you try to shake it off.

Learn to listen, but don't always take the advice. Weigh it. People are not always right.

“One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find - is they are not always with whom we spend our lives.”

Out of anything I could ever feel

At 3am,

I love you still.
