Finding beauty in the broken hearts
God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, and broken bread to give strength. – Vance Havner
Thank You for Letting Go
I have a confession to make. I witnessed your wedding without you knowing. Why? I want to gauge how I actually feel. Thank God that I did because I realized a few things.

I am tired of this “okay-then-not-okay” cycle as part of the healing process.

There are days when I feel fine and… Continue reading I am tired of this “okay-then-not-okay” cycle as part of the healing process.

I Hate 5 PM
The clock ticked. Time flew so quickly. We were sitting on a couch and all of a sudden, you ran from me…from our home. I chased you; mountains and trees barricaded the view. You went too far.

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)

Dear heart
Dear heart, Alam ko kung gaano kabigat ang dinadala mo ngayon. Ang hirap masanay sa mga bagay na panandalian lang pala. Ang sakit iwanan ng biglaan. Sana pwede ibalik ang nakaraan at magwarning sa sarili. Alam kong dumadating na sa punto na napapadasal ka nalang na sana pwede mong i-skip yung masakit na process. Sana… Continue reading Dear heart
“You do not deserve that bare minimum treatment.”
“You do not deserve that bare minimum treatment.” That’s what I used to tell my friends because I didn’t want them to feel unworthy. They had no idea I was putting up with this kind of treatment just to keep the one I loved. Isn’t that stupid? I suppose it’s true that love is blind.… Continue reading “You do not deserve that bare minimum treatment.”
Dear Mr. Sky part two
Since the day I’ve learned about my feelings for you, I started doing things I thought you’d appreciate. All of those went unnoticed. I still tried, I can’t lose what I don’t have, so why not try, right? I’m mistaken, I can’t lose you, but I lost myself. After several failed attempts, I stopped showing… Continue reading Dear Mr. Sky part two
Vacation Romances Don’t Last
Thoughts flowing early in the morning Until very late in the evening. Endless seas of white And blue bubbles and pings. Who thought that you from a different nation Could hold deep conversations.

Alternate Universe
In an alternate universe, would we be? In an alternate universe, would we be together? Would we be holding each other’s hands and looking into each other’s eyes? Would we be kissing and dancing in the rain? Would we be ticking things off a bucketlist we wrote together? Would we be laughing at each other’s… Continue reading Alternate Universe

You were a chapter in my life and I regret nothing
I was in the dumps when you came in. Somehow I wanted to feel okay. I wanted something new to feel. And as someone who doesn’t know shit, someone who forgot her worth, and someone who never had any experiences, I accepted and played your game. We had fun (or at least I did). I… Continue reading You were a chapter in my life and I regret nothing
Pano Naman Ako
Nang dumating siya sa buhay mo, nakalimutan mo ako.
Nang mawala siya sa buhay mo, naalala mo ako.
Kagabi ako pa yung kausap mo, ngayon siya na ang pinagpupuyatan mo.

Home is where the heart is
