An Open Letter to The One That Got Away
Bughaw na Larawan
Nasan nga ba? Isip kong gumagala. Nalulunod sa ingay, gulo at alaala. Di mawari kung ano ang pasya. Susundin ba ang isip o nadarama? Nalulunod sa mga saloobin, iniisip sasarilihin.

“NBSB ako at the age of 25 pero suki ako ng flings” Flings, short term landian at commitmentless relationship, whatever you call it I will still choose it over a relationship. It is because I rather settle with those than put myself in a “so-called relationship” just to feel Continue Reading
