Let’s not talk about daydreams anymore. Or those times where we fill each other’s baggage when unloading wasn’t an option. Let’s not think of all the possibilities that life gave us the moment we believed we were each other’s dream come true. A part of me already wants you out. A part of you is…
Read moreSo, I guess, this is goodbye.
Even if we don’t tell, most of us have hard times thinking about how to forget our past. This is where we detach who’s keeping our feelings up until now. When we think we aren’t capable of moving forward again, this is the time where we feel that it’s an impossibility to restart. But love,…
Read moreAll my life,
I have been wondering about the flaws hidden inside my void. That maybe something is actually wrong with me. That maybe it’s not every time I succeed with all the things I wish for. Maybe sometimes, there could be a time where I won’t excel like I’m always used to. I have been grasping for…
Read moreKahit hindi man natin sabihin,
alam kong may mga pagkakataong nahihirapan tayong bitawan ang isang bagay. Kahit anong limot man natin, may hahatak at hahatak pa rin upang tayo’y bumalik dito. At hindi ko na iyon ipinagtataka.

Read moreSometimes, I look at the mirror and ask myself,
“What’s wrong with me?” Surely, I am aware of the fact that I am flawed but there’s still an answer I’ve been searching for a long time. How come society is too cruel for us who just want to be ourselves? There’s this standard that we always aim to achieve to meet everyone’s satisfaction. I…
