Freedom IS happiness :)
The truth is, things have never been more clear to me than they are now. So many things make sense that I’m careful enough not to argue or question them anymore because I would only be complicating the truth. In a nutshell, the truth is that you and I never really worked. And I’m happy [...]
For the record
Something scared me today. It felt like a repetition of a past mistake, only this time, I was able to spot it quickly. When it first happened to me, I was clueless, unaware of what was going on. I didn’t know anything, and that worked for me. But of course I’ve grown since that mistake. [...]
Hurting has to end at some point
I wonder whether it’s normal that until now, a year or so after I got my heart broken, I’m still not over it. It’s been over a year and I feel I’ve made little progress in forgetting. I don’t cry as much, and I am not hurt as much as I was hurting then when [...]
Retracing my steps
*Nate dropped by my place last Thursday to ask me to accompany him to Pasay Victory. He was already parked outside the house and was unsure if anybody was at home because there were no lights turned on. His frantic phone conversation goes, “KZ, samahan mo ko bili ako ng ticket for Baguio.” As soon [...]
Forgiving 2008
“Not again,” I whined as I readied myself for sleep last night. I checked my cell phone and it was a little past midnight. Then I turned it off because I did not want to get a text message. I thought to myself, “I’ve had this before. I’m not letting it happen again.” I went [...]
Practically burned
I was going through my wallet this morning to throw away receipts and unnecessary papers (like grocery lists of long ago, bus fare tickets, atm receipts) that take up the bulk of my wallet. How I wish cash actually makes my wallet bulky, but all I have are receipts, cards, and pictures which I’m not [...]
When one’s heart is broken
October 2, 2008 I slept at around 2:00 am. I woke up 4 hours after. My heavy heart is causing me to be sleepless. It didn’t make me sleep last night even when my body really needed to rest. I tried all that I can to just lay in bed and sleep, but many thoughts [...]
Departure
There is a time for departure even when there is no certain place to go. There’s a line from Sarah McLachlan that goes, “I have the sense to recognize that I don’t know how to let you go.” And I feel that way with you now. What is letting go? I’ve heard about it from [...]
To do likewise
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go back in time and do things differently. My life is full of scenarios of what-ifs and could-have-beens, and with them come regrets sometimes. I think about choices I’ve made and having to live with those choices everyday. I think about losses: lost love and lost [...]
