Don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart

Image
Don’t tell my dad that the daughter he raised to be strong sometimes feels like she’s falling apart. He always told me to stand tall, to face the world with courage, but there are moments when the weight of everything feels too heavy to bear. I’ve learned to smile through the pain, to keep going even when it feels like the ground is crumbling beneath me. But in the quiet of the night, when no one is watching, I let the tears fall. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the confidence he sees in me is sometimes just a mask. I’ve always wanted to make him proud, to show him that I could handle anything life throws my way. But inside, there’s a little girl who still feels scared, who still questions if she’s good enough. I push those feelings down, trying to live up to the image he has of me, but some days, it’s harder than others. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the dreams I’ve been chasing aren’t alwa...

Praying to have you but not now, not yet.

Image
Praying to have you but not now, not yet. Our hearts are aligned, beating to the same rhythm of hope and love, but the timing is not in our favor. We find ourselves in a season where our dreams demand our full attention, where the path we walk requires us to focus on building a future that can sustain the love we cherish. I long for the day when we can finally be together, but right now, our dreams must take precedence, shaping the people we are destined to become. Praying to have you but not now, not yet . Life is a whirlwind of responsibilities and ambitions, and we are caught in its storm. There are so many things we are both striving to achieve, so many goals that need our energy and dedication. We are on parallel journeys, each one filled with challenges and triumphs that will one day bring us closer. But today, we must continue to walk our separate paths, knowing that the time will come when our roads will merge into one. Praying to have you but not now, not yet . I am stil...

She Says She's Not Beautiful

Image
She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw herself smiling when she does the things she love. The way her lips form a grin, the genuine joy in her laughter, the flicker in her eyes when she's lost in her world of creativity. She says she's not beautiful, but she never witnessed the sparkle in her eyes when she talks about her passions and dreams, the way how her face lights up when she talks about her favorites. She says she's not beautiful, but she doesn’t see herself giggle when she plays with her dogs. The way her cheeks glow when she takes care of them, and the way her face brightens up when she speaks how they made her day. Oh, that image is one of my most favorite, favorite views in the world. She says she's not beautiful, but she overlooks the warmth in her voice when she comforts a friend or shares laughter with loved ones. She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw how she stands, the way she presents herself, how she walks and spe...

At Kung Iibig Man Ako, Doon Na Sa Tama At Sigurado

Image
At kung iibig man ako, doon na sa tama at sigurado. Iyong hindi minamadali, hindi nakakalito. Iyong bukas sa pag unlad at pagbabago.Iyong ang pag-usbong ay magiging parang halaman na lumalago sa tamang pagkakataon. At kung iibig man ako, walang lihim na itatago. Sisiguraduhin kong bawat bigkas ng salita ay totoo, bawat kanta ay mula sa puso. Walang tiwala na masasayang, walang pangakong mapapako. At kung iibig man ako, magiging sapat at kuntento. Hindi maghahanap ng iba, hindi maghahanap ng perkpekto. Tatanggapin ang kahinaan ng buong puso.   Hindi lang mamahalin sa mga magagandang bahagi, kundi pati na rin sa mga bahaging pilit na itinatago. At kung iibig man ako, doon na sa mananatili. Iyong hindi lang nariyan sa mga magandang pagkakataon, kundi pati na rin sa mga pagkakataong mahirap at mabigat. Iyong hindi lang nariyan sa kaligayahan, kundi handang dumamay at maging baliktarang payong sa oras ng pangangailangan. At kung iibig man ako, doon ako sa may pananampalataya...

I Hated The World When You Left

Image
  I hated the world when you left. I was so angry. I wanted to throw a fist. I hated the world when you left. I was so heartbroken, where I can no longer feel the ache . I hated the world when you left. I was so lost, so caged I wanted to let go of the leash. I hated the world when you left, so cold and bleak, My heart ached with a pain that words cannot speak. I longed for your tap, your laughter, your smile, But you were gone, leaving me in this endless trial. I hated the world when you left, my world turned to gray, Each day a reminder of your absence, leading me astray. I searched for your presence in the shadows of the night, But all I found were memories, fading out of sight. I hated the world when you left, a tempest in my soul, Emotions swirling, out of control, taking their toll. I tried to fill the void you left with meaningless things, But nothing could replace the love that your absence brings. I hated the world when you left, the stars lost their shine, The moon's g...

It doesn’t matter, my God knows me.

Image
  When I feel like people was belittling me, throwing harsh words behind my back as if those were true, it doesn’t matter, my God knows me. When I feel like I was misjudged or misunderstood, when they say I was faking it because they don’t know the real story, it doesn’t matter. My God knows me. When they say I wasn’t good enough, or I was failing short, or I cannot reach my dreams because I was weak and stupid, it doesn’t matter. My God knows me. When they say I don’t do things the right way, or my intention wasn’t pure, it doesn’t matter. My God knows me. When I face moments of self-doubt, wondering if I was worthy of love and acceptance, it doesn't matter. My God knows me. In times of adversity, when life's challenges seemed insurmountable, and I questioned my strength, it doesn't matter. My God knows me. When others tried to define my worth based on material possessions or social status, it doesn't matter. My God knows me. During moments of loneli...

You are Beautiful and Worthy of Love

Image
You are struggling with your thoughts as you stare in the mirror and wish you could express self-love, but you failed to detect even the slightest hint of your own attractiveness. You felt like you’re just too ordinary for the world. Too plain to stand out, too average to be noticed. I understand. But I wanted to take a moment to remind you of something truly important: you are beautiful and worthy of love. In a world that often tries to dictate our worth based on external standards, I want you to know that your value goes far beyond what meets the eye. You possess a unique beauty that radiates from within and touches the lives of those around you. The tone of your voice, the proportions of your body, and the vivacity of your face are all lovely. Everything about you is unique, including the way you laugh a little too loudly, the way you leap to your feet when something thrills you, and the way you speak as though you're always rushing and that time is running out and that ...
