Life doesn’t always introduce you to the people you want to meet.
Sometimes life puts you in touch with the people you need to meet – to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become
the goodness we’ve done to others doesn’t mean they’ll do the same.
I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person does not guarantee that others will be good people too. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.
Loving oneself is not a hard task but most people seem to forget this. Forgetting that he or she is special too. Blinded by the world full of deceptions and judgments. Fear of judgments that made her/him forget the real person she/he is.
Love yourself even if they call you ugly.
Love yourself even if you are not the best.
Love yourself even if you are not perfect.
Love yourself even if you are not smart.
Love yourself even if they don’t love you.
If you won’t, who else can?
No matter what, don’t forget to love yourself.
Because loving oneself is the best love you can give to others so others can learn to value and love you more.
I won’t hurt you
I won’t leave you
You’re the only one
I won’t forget you
I won’t do it again
I’ll change for the better
I’ll take good care of your heart
I’ll be back for you
Feelings make you ambivalent,
Hatred on the face painted.
Feelings are traitorous,
Love can be so mysterious.
When Love and hate collides,
Pain and agony never hide.
From the darkening of the cloud,
Storms, never fear, don’t shout loud.
In every storm, a rainbow in the cloud,
Waiting for you, don’t be too proud.
Sadness from yesterday,
Triumph for today,
Victorious for tomorrow,
That is the true glory,
Be true to your feelings,
Never hide,
Even if Love and hate collides.
Answers will prevail,
Pain will heal;
Be strong and face the tomorrow,
NEVER HIDE
Even if Love and hate collides.
Sometimes our eyes can blind us and logic can be misleading. We have truly lived when we open our hearts to things beyond what we can ever see or understand.
Most people nowadays are so judgmental. They judge a book by its cover without first knowing what the content is. We can easily point out a judgmental person everywhere; in the streets, public terminals, schools, hometown, or even on the network sites. In the streets where you can see a lot of people wearing random clothes; a girl with a very sexy casual wear (you think, she’s a bitch or a flirt?), a person who has pierced earrings in his tongue and in his ears (you think he’s an addict?), and most especially, an old woman who always coughs ( you think she has a serious communicable disease?). In public terminals where you can find various passengers; one person who always talk (you think she’s an attention seeker?), one lady who’s impatient in waiting (you think she’s over reacting?) or a conductor who wants to open a conversation to you (you think he’s flirting with you?); or even here in network sites like Facebook and Tumblr; when you noticed random posts of a girl with her different self snapshots (you think she’s vain?), or if you read a post that’s so mean from a person (you think she/he’s out of his mind and that she/he has no life?).
Do you think judging someone will make you a better person? You never knew their stories why they’re that way. Your eyes are wide open but you’re blinded by your insecurities and judgments. If you want to understand the true meaning of life, OPEN YOU HEART , walk with them, fell in love with everybody and you’ll learn things you never knew.

Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder…
— Henry David Thoreau
Precisely!
This quote is one of my favorite quotations of all time. For me, this is all about freedom of someone you like or love that no matter how you love them to be with you, you have to set them free even if it means hurting your own self because SOMEDAY, IT WILL BE OKAY. Ironically, happiness, according to the quote, is described as setting someone free. Do you think we will be happy if we set things/people who we love SOOO MUCH free and away from us?
NO.
However, it also helps us realize that if we will force them, there’s a greater chance that forcing them will make them avoid us more as if we have a communicable disease. Hence, we have to set them free and just wait for the right time they will return (if ever); if not, then that would mean we have to enjoy or focus on the other things we have in our life. For an instance, letting go of a gf/bf is such a heartbreaking thing, right? And so you’ll try your best to win them back, without knowing that it will force them to dodge more. SAD REALITY. But if you try yourself on focusing on other things like making a better you, with one step at a time, you will be able to move-on and guess what? Your ex might return if in case, you’re meant to be. Another example is, getting what you really want like being accepted to the school you want to be in. If a situation never allows you, it might be a terrible experience, but, if you will wait for the right time, then a better school might offer you a chance and that would mean a better opportunity.
Ultimately, what I am trying to emphasize is that we never knew what the tide brings so never settle for less and open your eyes to some better views other than what you see because you can achieve happiness, if only, you will allow yourself to be happy and change your negative perception. SOMEDAY, IT WILL BE OKAY 🙂
