Fall in love with writing

Forget about their opinions. Be happy, be healthy, love yourself better, speak less, do more, feed your imagination, nourish your curiosity, travel to the places you’ve been meaning to go, embrace your insecurities, and stay calm and focused. Let your soul recover from those people who never felt anything for you and breathe again. In God’s good time, you will be more than okay. Just wait for it to come, keep the hope alive and never let it fade.

Wag kang matakot na mawala sa buhay mo ang isang tao na hindi naman nare-realize ang worth mo. Pabor pa nga sa part mo ‘yun eh.

I love you but I can’t say it every other hour. I love you but I can’t answer your call all the time specially when it’s 3am and I am trying to catch some sleep. I love you but I can’t spend more time talking to you about nothing when there are piles of responsibilities that are waiting to be accomplished. I love you but I can’t compose screenshot-worthy messages all the time just for you to have something to share on Facebook. What I am trying to say is you are the most important part of my world but you are not my world. What I am trying to say is I don’t think clinging to you all the time is the best way to express my affection. What I am trying to say is my heart is yours but you keep on asking for things that are beyond than what I can offer. What I am trying to say is I’ve been doing my best to be everything that you need but you always blame me for not being capable to be the one that you want. Don’t you know that I would travel across the world just to see your face? Don’t you know that I would run away from the place that I call home if you ask me to? Don’t you know that I could forget all my yesterdays if it means I could have the rest of my tomorrows with you? Don’t you know that I was willing to bleed endlessly if it means I would never see you cry ever again? Don’t you know that I could turn my back to all the parts of me that are cruel if it means I could be good enough for you? My love for you is more than 140 characters. My love for you takes longer than a 24-hour Instagram story. My love for you is clear even without all those filters. My love for you doesn’t need validation from the ones who follow us. The only reaction that matters here is yours. I hope you’ll realize that I am not someone that you could install or uninstall all the time. I hope you can see through my real heart even without the emoji that you insist I should send you. I hope you’ll truly love me too even if you’re offline. Because all of these connections shouldn’t matter if we’re together. Because I aim to give you real happiness, not a virtual one. Because I shouldn’t be someone that you should keep for the sake of telling the world that you’re alone. I love you but sometimes, you make it hard for me to breathe.

The things I find most beautiful about a person are almost never physical.

This is someone dying while having an MRI scan. Before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions. Tragically beautiful.
