When You’re Lost and You Can’t Tell Anyone
You are not the one in tears. You are also not the one pouring her whole heart out over broken stories. You are not the type who bravely calls in the middle of the night asking for help. You can’t be the one desperate for comfort and encouragement. You can’t be weak. You can’t be…

I’m Glad We Ended
Hi. We haven’t spoken for years yet here I am. I’m now opening the door I’ve completely shut down years ago. I’m now making my first steps to come in again. I am welcoming our past back. These wounds will no longer be hidden. Tonight, for the first time since I locked it down, I’m opening…

How to Help Someone Open Up?
She’s been silent since both of you arrived at the coffee shop. You know that there’s something wrong but you just can’t break through her walls.

Dear Self, I Promise You.
I know that we haven’t spoken for quite some time now. I see you every day but I have forgotten to love you in His way. I’ve pushed you, a lot. I’ve pushed you to pursue things that have taken away your joy. I’ve pushed you to go to places where your heart is not into.…

Sorry to Disappoint but Love is Unfair
“I am willing to do everything for her. I just want her to at least appreciate that.” “I did all that he asked me. How is it not enough yet?” “He doesn’t pursue me anymore. I felt so loved before but he just stopped doing the little things.” “I quit. I quit from loving you.”…

Babalik Ka Rin
Hindi naman talaga kita nakalimutan. Maari bang tuluyang mawala ang lahat ng meron tayo? Maari bang makalimutan kung paano natin napatunayan sa mundo na hindi lahat ng bago, masama? Maari bang hindi na ituloy ang kaisa-isang bagay na tumutulak sakin magpatuloy? Maari bang makalimot ang puso? Babalik ka rin. Alam ko, babalik ka rin. Alam ko na magkakaroon ulit ng…
