Bursting Out my Feelings

“Do you actually think that how long a person grieves is a measure of how much they loved someone?”

Wala ako sinayang na relasyon dati e. Lahat ‘yon inisip ko last na. Inisip ko sila na talaga. Ganun naman dapat eh.

It’s painful to say goodbye to someone you don’t want to let go, but more painful to ask someone to stay when you know they want to leave.

Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be… and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.
