STRANGERS.

THEY ARE OF DIFFERENT KINDS.

SOME OF THEM ARE THE LIVES YOU CHANGE,

WHILE SOME CHANGES YOU.

AND THERE ARE ALSO THOSE WHO WILL REMAIN

TO BE A STRANGER IN YOU.

Strangers, again

I just saw this vid, as recommended by a friend… a story or something… and it hit me.

Those different stages in a relationship that some people says they go through… are they really all the same?

If I were to make my own version of these stages… it’s gonna go like this:

1. 1.  Strangers
2. 2.  Flirting
3. 3.  Commitment
4. 4.  Honeymoon
5. 5.  Comfortable
6. 6.  Tolerance
7. 7.  <<choose your ending>>

It was mentioned that in every relationship, one of two things will happen: either they get married, or they break up. If someone doesn’t wanna marry, does it mean that they expect a break-up? Problem with some people nowadays is that, everyone’s scared to get hurt, but not all give it a shot—that thing called ‘Commitment’. Many always skip that part, and take it for granted when in fact it’s the most important thing in any relationship, plus all the other formulas attached with it.

Someone once said that, “we always get the same love story that we wanted.” I want to retaliate and say, how about those who fell in love and dreamt of ‘forever’? They don’t necessarily get their happy endings all the time. I also remembered someone saying, ‘when we enter a relationship, we always hope it’s gonna last.’ We don’t enter into a relationship and make a timeline for it… But every relationship has its bumpy roads, it’s strange that not everyone seems to be ready for it. When we get past those hurdles, we get stronger and wiser. And it’s true when they say that arguments are healthy because it opens up each individual to be heard and hopefully, understood. The thing is, not everyone takes these arguments in this light. Some even make it as a leeway to end things up.

For me, relationships are messy… but having that someone who could understand you and accept you for everything that you are, and someone who could be there for you as long as it matters (and even if it doesn’t anymore)… someone who could make you feel happy deep down… someone who could make you feel special and Loved in the most unselfish ways—that for me, is the greatest feeling in the world… both a rewards and gift of which you would whole-heartedly treasure. How many appreciates happiness even when it’s not there in the surface?

It is true that somewhere in a relationship, someone stops trying… something always changes… and it’s always going hurt.

Strangers. They are of different kinds. Some of them are the lives you change, while some changes you. And there are also those who will remain to be a stranger in you.

Yung moment na pinipilit ko na lang talaga maging masaya kasi wala naman mangyayari kung magiging malungkot ka...

Nakakapagod din pala maging malakas para sa lahat... nakakapagod din pasayahin ang iba, kasi nakakalimutan mo na ikaw din pala, kailangan ng magpapasaya...

Unfair ang life, kasi minsan, sa dinami-dami ng kasama mo araw araw andun pa rin yung feeling na mag-isa ka lang talaga... at yung feeling na hindi mo magawang sabihin lahat ng ito sa iba kasi ayaw mong kaawaan ka nila.

We all have those days when we feel for ourselves that we are pretty… and then those days when we’re absolutely worn-down. Sometimes, we always wanted to look our best but that’s just not possible. If there’s anything I learned, it’s the fact that a woman who cannot be ugly is not pretty… that bad-hair-days are as normal as monthly periods, and that looking your best usually requires a fair amount of time spent in front of the mirror… but I’d rather spend a fair share of my allowance/savings hanging out with my friends—watching a movie, or FOOD-TRIPPING—than buying loads of make-up and changing your wardrobe on a monthly basis. Probably, it’s because I’ve got my best mirror—my friends! They compliment you when you’re pretty, and tease when you’re horrible… but I love them most when I feel like the latter, because that’s when they bring out the best in me… when I’m distraught and very much weary about everything, they sit down beside me and crack the most stupid jokes, and later on I find myself happy once more. And that’s when I’m recharged. When I’m happy, that’s when I feel pretty… and happiness inside radiates through you, and that’s when people see the real beauty in you.

In this world where good looks becomes a status-quo, I hope every girl out there would feel pretty deep down inside them no matter what other people might say, or regardless of what you might hear. Remember that you teach people how to treat you… so treat yourself right, and deserve the respect of other people. Never be afraid to be ugly, because those people who care for you won’t mind and they are the ones who truly matter in your life. Always give your smile, because that’s the sexiest curve in your body… and you may never know who you inspire with it. Feel beautiful inside, because that will always remain true no matter what they say. Beauty is subjective, and can never be defined by standards. So everyone’s beautiful—they need only to believe in it. And keep in mind that you will always remain beautiful for that person, or people, who truly love you—beautiful in and out. And most importantly, the kind of beauty that you would want to cultivate is the beauty deeply hidden in your hearts… because that’s where the most important people in your life resides, and that’s what God sees each day of our lives. A beautiful heart is the kind of treasure that our world needs… keep that in mind❤

Free Falling

Dear You;

When I first met you, you were really not my type. That all-seemingly-bad-boy-image you showed me was something I never thought I’d like. I don’t want someone whom I’d be able to talk to, and see for such limited time… but somehow, your kindness and thoughtfulness put my guard behind the lines.

Who are you behind the words you spoke? You set my cold heart in a coal. You made me feel those kinds of emotions I evade… now I couldn’t help it, I kinda feel soaked. You were there to push me at the edge of the cliff, saying “don’t be scared to fall”. But now when my heart and courage are set, you were nowhere to be seen; no one to catch me on my free-fall.

Love, you said you’d teach me how. I refuse to learn unless you show me how. Now that I’m alone with my shadows once again, I just seem to forget to thank you somehow. Even if you left me hanging there, those smiles you painted on my lonely days, I will keep them in my heart. Thank you for the friendship, and the courage you taught me—I never thought I have them inside me.

When I take my feet off that cliff, I hope to see you there to catch me as I fall. If not, I pray fervently to the heavens, to give me wings instead so I may fly with the mighty eagles and soar. It’s time to embrace my freedom, with the courage I was taught… don’t be scared to fall, trust that there’s a cushion to every fall…

Sincerely,

K.

P.S. I Love You
