You taught me

so much about

how to love

and be loved.

And now…

You’ll begin

to teach me

how to untangle

a part of me

from you.

I’ve long for the day

that my fingertips

will touch your skin

and not just the screen.

I’ve long for the day

that I will stand

inches away from you,

I would see your eyes—

looking into mine,

Our hearts falter because

finally, we’re here—

—breathing the same air.

I’ve long for the day

that my arms

will no longer hug

my pillow but instead

the warmth of

your embrace replaces—

—reassuring me once again

that what we have is real.

I want you to know

from a distant sky—

you will always have my heart.

Siguro madaling sabihin, pero the harshest wake up call for us are those moments where we finally recognize that we are no longer a safe place within ourselves kasi dumating na tayo sa puntong pati halaga natin kino-question na natin.

Minsan nagiging bulag tayo sa katotohanan na maaring gusto nating maging parte ng buhay ng isang tao, dahil mahal natin sila—pero di natin natatanong ang sarili natin kung gusto ba nila tayong maging parte ng buhay nila.

Ang pagbuo naman sa isang tao ay hindi mo sakop, gaya rin ng hindi mo pwedeng i-asa sa taong mahal mo na buuin ka din nila, dahil lang sa mahal mo sila…

Ang komplikado, pero ang bottomline—KNOW YOUR WORTH. Paulit-ulit natin ipaalala sa mga sarili natin yan. Nagiging cliche na nga ang katagang “know your worth” pero sa totoo lang, makikita mo lang naman ang halaga mo kapag ubos ka na, pagod ka na, yung wala ng natitira. Ganun naman palagi, but, you will know when you’ll get there...

Kaya, magmahal ka lang hanggang sa maubos ka. Pero sana hindi dumating sa puntong yun. Sana makita din ng tao ang halaga mo bago pa mahuli ang lahat.

A real man will stay with you.

When things get hard, he‘s not gonna say "You know what? I'm done." and leave you so easily.

When things get difficult, he isn't gonna be like "You know what? I’m tired. It’s over" and throw everything away.

If a man really loves you, there's no such thing as you being "too complicated", “too clingy” or “too much”.

He’ll be patient with you. He will understand you. He will stay and figure things out.

No, darlin’,

You didn’t fix me—

but you bleed with me.

You didn’t wipe

my tears—

but you cried with me.

You didn’t carry me—

but you anchored my fall

just by firmly holding my hands.

You didn’t pick up my pieces—

but you reminded me

why roses have thorns.

You didn’t save me—

but you helped me fix my focus

to where I would want to be.
