best people

The Best People Are The Ones Who Love Us Despite Our Imperfections 
The best people are the ones who never give up on us. The ones who accept us for who we are. The ones who don’t judge us for our weaknesses, for our flaws, for our imperfections. The best people are the ones who choose to stay by our side and fight for us no matter what. 
The kind of people that we should cherish are the ones who don’t get tired of understanding us. The kind who would answer our calls in the middle of the night when we’re in trouble, when we’re on the verge of breaking down, when we need someone to talk to. The best people are the ones whose smile make us feel calm and secured and protected. 
We should thank the people who go out of their ways just to be with us when we need company. We should appreciate the people who promise to never make us feel lonely. We should never foget the people who help us when we are in need. 
Because without them, our lives won’t be easy. Without them, we won’t know the feeling of unconditional love. Without them, we won’t get to experience incredible moments. 
So this one is for them. This one is to show them how glad we are that they exist. This one is for the people who become part of our lives. 

Halloween

The Scariest Thing That Happened To Me This Halloween Is When I Remembered The Ones Who Ghosted Me
It was not the horror shows on tv that made the hairs on my skin stand up. Nor the scary article stories. Nor the costumes of some kids that knocked on our doors for trick or treat. No. I don’t believe much in ghost. But I do believe that people who ghosted us always bring out the worst in us. And that is so scary compared to anything else. 
It’s scary to look back in the past when we know for a fact that there’s nothing that we can’t do about it. It’s scary to remember the faces of people who broke our hearts. It’s scary to still lie to ourselves that we don’t have feelings for them. Because if we really don’t, we wouldn’t have to pause for a moment and freeze as we think about them. 
But the thing about people who ghosted me, who ghosted you, who ghosted us is that they have no power over us anymore. We are the only ones who can control whether to give them the privilege to hurt us. We can’t choose what comes into our mind. But we can choose how to react on it. We can choose to control our emotions. 
Halloween is supposed to be fun. Halloween is not a time to entertain the people who never cared about us. Halloween is all about scary costumes, creative costumes, beautiful costumes, booze, party, and moments with friends and love ones. Halloween is being scared and making fun of ghosts — not a day to recall the people who ghost. 

I’m slowly letting you go

lrm

I Am Slowly Learning To Let You Go
I am looking at the clouds outside my window, thinking about you even though I know that you don’t remember a single thing about me anymore. I am trying to mentally order myself to calm down, to steady my vision, to catch my breath.
I am standing here, hundreds of miles away from you, still hurting from losing you in my life.
I keeping telling myself that forgetting you will be easy, but after all these months – I can’t seem to completely wipe you out of my mind. I can’t mark a date in my calendar and convince myself that when I wake up the day after, my heart will no longer be searching for your presence. I can’t just delete your contact and photographs on my phone and expect that my feelings for you will magically vanish.
The art of letting you go has no expiration. Getting over you is a laborious and sometimes painful process. It is slow and requires a lot of patience. There’s no guarantee that putting myself in a different place will make moving on smoother or more convenient.
Letting you go ultimately depends on me. I am the one who has the final say if I’m really ready to release you out of my life. My heart is the only thing that can speak out for the truth.
It takes all of my strength to say this, but this is me accepting that we’ll never get a second chance anymore.

it was you

Something’s Telling Me It Might Be You
I have no way of knowing if you’re the one destined for me. There’s no guarantee that you’ll love me back. Or love me the same way that I love you. I can’t know for sure if we’ll ever be in a relationship. 
But every time I look at you, every time you walk past me, every time you smile at me — something’s telling me it might be you. Something inside of me is urging me to take risks, to say what I’ve been meaning to say, to get the words out of my mouth. Something in you draws me closer, almost like a magnet. And I can’t help it. 
Something’s telling me it might be you who’s going to save me and heal my broken heart. Something’s telling me that loving you will feel right, will feel at home. Something’s telling me that this is it. This is the love I’ve been waiting for so long. 
I want to hope. I want to keep wishing upon a star. I want to close my eyes and trust. Something’s telling me it might be you. And I want to believe it.

to all the boys I’ve loved before

To all the Boys I’ve Loved Before
Today, I am thankful to all the boys who broke my heart and left me.
I am thankful to them for making me realize that they were not meant to be in my life. I am thankful to them for leaving me to wait for my true love to come and find me.
I am thankful to them for making me realize that I deserve more than begging to them to love me back. I pity myself.
I am thankful to them for letting me see my worth that I should love myself more than anything else so that less expectation, less hurt.
I am thankful to them for opening my eyes that in reality people come and go. I am thankful to them for making me appreciate the word give up.
And I am thankful to them for leaving my heart and making it empty so that I could make space for someone who truly deserves me.

sa tamang panahon

Sa tamang panahon.
Nung gabi na una kang nasilayan. 

Meron akong kakaibang nararamdaman na hindi ko maitindihan. 

Gulong gulo ang aking isipan. 

Sa twing nakikita kong ikaw ay ngumingiti para bang ako’y nasa kalangitan. 
Habang tayo’y nag iinuman ikaw ay aking nakatabi. Mas lalong bumilis ang tibok ng aking puso. 

Na para bang ayaw ko ng matapos ang gabi. 

At humiling sa kalangitan na ikaw ay muling makasama. 
Makalipas ng ilang buwan ikaw ay muling nasilayan. 

Ngunit sa pagkakataon na ‘to hindi na kita pwede pang malapitan. 

Hanggang tingin na lang ako. 

Dahil ang puso ko ay may nagmamay ari na. 
Sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ikaw ay aking muling nakasama. 

Nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na sabihin sayo na gusto kita. 

Hindi ko na pinaglapas ang pagkakataon na sabihin sayo na sa una pa lang nating pagkikita ay nabihag mo na ang puso ko. 
Nung gabi na yun, wala akong ibang naramdaman kundi parang tayong dalawa lang ang tao sa mundong ito. 

Kitang kita sa mga mata mo kung gaano ka kasaya at ganon din ako. 
Sayang nga lang hindi ito yung tamang panahon para sating dalawa. 

Pero naniniwala ako at pinagdarasal ko na darating din ang araw na muli tayong magkikita. 

Sana bigyan ako ng pagkakataon ng mga tala na sabihin sayo na masaya ako at nakilala kita. 

Hihintayin ko ang panahon na yun na ikaw ay muling makasama.
