THIS TIME I AM CHOOSING ME

To your self in progress

Comeback Isn’t Real (Hindi Lahat Dapat Balikan)
After breakups, cool offs, hanapin-ko-lang-sarili-ko momints, and such, people around often romanticize the idea saying, “If you truly love someone, then win him/her back.” Funny how they put an intensifier ‘truly’, when in fact it meant the opposite for some. However, the truth is that the so-called comeback depends on the situation. If the past… Continue reading Comeback Isn’t Real (Hindi Lahat Dapat Balikan)

To the boys who almost loved me before, I thank you for coming into my life.

When you are used and then abandoned
I sat on a concrete pathway along the grass-filled plains as the bevy of girls played dodgeball nearby. Hearing them laughing and shouting in enjoyment, wonderful thoughts conquered my mind. A lot of “what ifs” popped out as I viewed the watery plains, the insects, and the dragonflies. After a moment, my reverie was disrupted… Continue reading When you are used and then abandoned
