... one can not question the existence of feelings, they are there, raw and undeniable. but one can choose to not nurture what is felt. yet, no matter what they say, what has been felt will always be more honest than what was chosen. hence, true realities are not built by the mind but by the heart ...

... it is better to have nobody than somebody who is half yours, half there or doesn't want to be there, or is there and then suddenly disappears ...

a girl asked her ex-boyfriend, "what made you leave me?"

the guy answered, "i tried a day without you...
just one day of not thinking of you,
not even hearing your voice...
guess what?
i realized...
i still feel complete even without you..."

the girl just stood there, then she felt it,
a tear fell from her eye,
she wiped it and took a deep breath and looked straight into the guy's eye and just smiled...

it is never the tears that measure our pain,
sometimes, it is the smile we fake,
just to show them that we are okey...
leaving a love you've suddenly outgrown can be heartbreaking,
but it also shows you are strong enough to walk away
from a relationship that no longer makes you happy...
moving out of your comfort zone can be down right scary,
but it also proves just how brave you are to take on the unknown...
we always do a little growing up everytime we do a little letting go...

how would you know if you have found the right person?

how can you tell if what your heart says is right?

in love taking risk is very important,
you will never know the answer...
unless you fall...
so deep...

... the worst regret we can have in life is not for the wrong things we did,
but for the right things we could have done but we never did...
... don't let yourself be stopped by anything from doing what you have always wanted.

we are all afraid of not fitting in to this world,
of not being accepted.

all you have to do is to look around and figure out by yourself,
that you are surrounded by people who love you unconditionally.

feel free to make mistakes.
celebrate life.

because even if you shrug them away,
the people who love you will always choose to stay...

... what makes life exciting? it's the fact that you are given the strength and courage to fight a losing battle... although all you wanted to do is surrender ...

i've been waiting so long
waiting for the past years to return,
as i gaze thru the window
no one is visible, not even a shadow.

i tried to comfort myself,
wipe my cold and drying tears,
trying to dig up the truth,
you are gone, million miles away.

but as i ponder to myself,
my heart keeps asking for something,
that's why, i keep on searching...
but my heart feels nothing.

i will walk those miles and kilometer,
climb those mountains and plateaus,
to tell you and to let you know...
you are my perfect gift,
from God!

... we deny that we are tired, we deny that we are scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed, and most importantly, we deny that we are in denial. we only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. we lie to ourselves so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces ...

... feelings are made to be expressed, it is not meant to be helpless nor kept. don't be a loser without fighting, never make regrets for yourself to suffer, cause you know what? silence hurts more ...

moving on vs. forgetting

what's the difference between "i moved on” and "i forgot you already?"

you really wanna know?

when you say "i forgot you already,"
you totally accept the fact that the person you used to call "mine" is not yours anymore...

when you say "i moved on,"
you just realized that it's over, but the feeling is still there, you just ignore it...

moments in life

you get moments in your life,
you get enough to last you your entire life.

tiny moments, cute and nostalgic at times,
spread far and wide and few and far in between.

you get enough that you think that a moment is forever.
but it never is...the moment goes, it fades, it dies.

like a fire, burning strong and powerful,
reduced to ashes and smoke the next day.

it takes over your entire being.

all your emotions are out in the open, exposed,
you show too much of yourself,
you are vulnerable,
you are an open book,
anyone can get to you.

and at the most perfect moment in your entire life,
someone does,
inside and under and beneath everything that you took for granted,
everything that you forgot you had and knew about yourself and life and others,
this someone comes in and gets to you.

that person gets to you and you are never the same.

that person turns your world inside out,
upside down,
round and round,
that person comes in and settles in.

that person walks in and comes into your life and you are never ever the same, ever.

that's what you did to me,
i had my moment with you and i am never the same.

you changed everything that i believed in and now you are.

... a lot of people asked me why i care for you, i answered back with a quiet smile not because i don't have an answer but because they would never understand...

... take care of the person you love, never tell lies or attempt to hurt them because you won't know how important they are until they are out of your life ...

... it hurts when the one you love left you and say "you deserve someone better", then all you can say is, " maybe i do", but deep inside you are crying cause you know you can't find better if you already found the best ...
