Thoughts # 27

Your eyes are like magnets as they search mine in a crowd. You compel me to answer that look and when our eyes meet, the crowd blurs into a muted background. It was like time stopped until one of us looks away.

Thoughts # 26

No matter how much we act strong, carry ourselves as if we don’t need anybody. We always want to be saved, taken care of by that one particular, special person.

Thoughts # 25

People keep saying we should embrace individuality but once we voice out our unorthodox brand of fulfillment, they frown upon it.

Thoughts # 24

I long for the day when someone will look into my eyes & see the depths. See them & not be confused. See them & not fear. Look into them & appreciate the dancing thoughts in my soul. The dark abyss of terrors & the sparkling air of blue skies & sweet scented meadows. Oh when will that day come?

Thoughts # 23

I stare at the gloomy clouds... its dark & foreboding underbellies reminding me of all the wrong decisions I made. The wisps curling & sluggishly moving towards a destination I have no part. My spirit joining the clouds the moment you broke my heart.

Thoughts # 22

Use objects as objects & treat people as persons. Don't mix them up. Never. It's often the case nowadays & it's the cause of many heartaches.

Thoughts # 21

Choosing between two lovers is like choosing your poison.

Thoughts # 20

Look at her… I mean really look at her when she talks about things she is passionate about. The things she burns for. You’ll see how brightly she shines.

Thoughts # 19

Life choices are not usually between bad and good. More often than not, it’s between good and better, which is the lesser evil. It’s difficult to choose which is better among the good with fear that perhaps your “better” choice is not the best among the good. Same goes for which is the lesser evil.

Never set relationship goals based on other people. Make your own goals. Go for what makes you happy. You'll only end up disappointed and disillusioned when you see them fall apart thinking they're the perfect couple to emulate. You think there's no "forever" just because a "perfect" couple didn't work out. You start having doubts about your relationship which may end in ruins, too. Stop comparing and do more of what makes your relationship happy and healthy.

"I’m a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I’m lazy, yet I’m ambitious. I don’t like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don’t care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I’m a conflicted contradiction. If I can’t figure myself out, there’s no way anyone else has." —unlockingparadise

The catch about having a partner who doesn’t care about how you look (you don’t have to dress up/wear makeup or doesn’t care if you dye your hair in rainbow colors) is that you’re not sure if he really loves you deeper than your looks or he simply doesn’t care.

Thoughts # 15

Sometimes all you need is a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear that would sympathize with you and rub your back and try their best to offer what they could to make you feel better. I like these kinds of people who, even if they don’t have much, would do their best to cheer you up. People that would build other people instead of breaking them.

Thoughts # 14

Indeed... secrets breed doubt. Trust is lost and everything, every action for the person becomes difficult because of a nagging doubt at the back of your head that he or she could be keeping more secrets from you.

Thoughts # 13

...and it's during nights like these, after I'm worn out from dealing with people during the day, that I crave for your warm embrace and silent company to lull me to paradise.

Thoughts # 12

"Men broke so much more quickly. Grief didn’t break women. Instead it wore them down, it hollowed them out, very slowly."

-Cornelia Funke 

 

I never thought of it this way but now it makes sense...

 

Valentine's Day craze

Today, many people are conscious of celebrating Valentine’s Day like everybody else. I have nothing against celebrating V-Day. In fact, I like the idea of allocating a certain day to do something extra special with your loved one especially if both of you have tight and conflicting schedules. A planned date is good but that’s not an excuse to only show love on that specific day. We must continually show our partners that we love them and make them feel loved. Anyway, back on the topic of V-Day, what I’m saying is don’t be pressured because you didn’t receive what most people got on the day of hearts. Believe me, I know it feels exhilarating to receive flowers and chocolates and all those cheesy stuff especially on valentine’s season. There came a time when I no longer received any and my mood plummeted to the depths of the abyss. Expectations and the feeling of being “in” turned my mood sour. I even went as far as making comparisons which is very nasty of me. I really feel sorry for being immature then.

However, I came to learn that extra effort and little celebrations don’t have to fall on a single day. You can always have those cheesy moments and little surprises any time of the year. If you really want it, you can discuss it with your partner (although that kinda kills the surprise factor but some people really need a hint).

If you didn’t get any chocolate or flowers on Valentine’s Day then don’t be bitter towards people who do. If you receive any, be thankful, if you didn’t, don’t let it make you unhappy. If you received something from someone unexpected then be very thankful because that person thought of giving you something no matter how small or insignificant it is to you. Don’t let one day dictate your relationship. Take control and if you want something then ask without getting needy or angry.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

1 John 4:19 We love, because He first loved us.

Let us show our love for the people we care about everyday of our lives.

Thoughts # 11

 It's crazy at times when you think you can "rattle the stars" and feel so strong that you feel no one can crumble your resolve and the next minute you just wanna crawl in a corner and feel depressed about the bad things that are happening.

Thoughts # 10

I wish I can say you're my answered prayer but you're not. I was not looking for a partner so I didn't have specific prayers on that matter but still God gave you to me without me asking.

Thoughts # 9

You look too far ahead that you forget to live in the present. Your eyes are seeking far but fail to see what is immediate.
