Things You May Need to Hear
"it'll be okay" and "you can do it" are phrases that sometimes fall flat. here's some things you may need to hear:
- you're good enough
- sometimes it's okay to not try so hard
- it's okay to not always be strong
- you don't have to be anything for anybody
- don't be so hard on yourself
- you're worth it
- it doesn't make you weak to ask for help
- let yourself cry
people who really know me know that I am that person who holds tightly on things and not good at letting them go. some might say I’m a keeper. But the thing is, I hold on things not just because I don’t want to lose them. I hold on them because I’m the one who needs on holding. I need the assurance that there is someone who holds me if I fail, if I’m being misunderstood, if I feel bad about myself, and most especially, if I am feeling so left out. I want to know there is really someone who got me when even myself can’t handle me. And I think with all this time that I tend to hold on things, I really wanted that there will also be someone who holds me and keep me.
Ang hirap isipin na parang nakita mo na yung ideal person mo, yung gusto mo makasama habang buhay, pero hindi ka nya gusto.
It’s not always rainbows and butterflies It’s compromise that moves us along
“When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.”
