“What kills love? Only this: Neglect. Not to see you when you stand before me. Not to think of you in the little things. Not to make the road wide for you, the table spread for you. To choose you out of habit not desire, to pass the flower seller without a thought. To leave the dishes unwashed, the bed unmade, to ignore you in the mornings, make use of you at night. To crave another while pecking your cheek. To say your name without hearing it, to assume it is mine to call.” —Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body (via runawaytrain)

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
Still looking up.

Princess Dawn’s questions:

1. If you can read a poem of Pablo Neruda to someone, who would that be?

3. What can you say about the Lady Gaga’s concert protest?

People should at least be open to the variation and possibilities of ideas that the mass media could offer them. I still believe that the protests regarding Lady Gaga’s concert is too much for an artist who does not conform to the norms of the society. Seriously, we should simply accept other people’s beliefs as much as we want them to accept ours.

Yes. I know it’s part of His plans and I would forever believe in them. 

7. Are you a reader of A Song of Ice and Fire series or do you even watch GOT in HBO? (if you do, i’ll best friend you! Haha!)

Oh, I’m sorry, I’m not a huge fan of those. :( But we can still be friends, right? Haha!

8. If you have the power of teleportation, in what place will you go first? 

Paris, France.

1. Do you believe in same-sex marriage?

To the girl I met a couple of weeks ago, you always make my day so special, your face, your smile, the sweetness that never ends. I will stay for you Justine, and I’ve just said that I want you to be my last talaga, I love you, Justine Mendoza.

Your thoughts have scared me. But I took the pavements, and chase after the risks.

Things ended surreal that not even a tiny spark of hope rose from its roots. Funny thing? You didn’t say good bye when you left. You just left. No words to ponder on and no thoughts to write about. 

But oh, I love this message regardless of the grammar.

Anonymous asked: I always see you laughing with your friends around AB and I often wonder why you seem so carefree and very happy. I'm the same anon that messaged you a couple of weeks ago!

Thanks for being a loyal tumblr follower. Teehee.

Anyway, I always seem so carefree and happy because simple things make me feel fulfilled. I am blessed with good friends and a complete family. Need I say, thankful? Oh, please do say hi whenever you see me around the campus. :-)

Hello Manaoag, Pangasinan! I’ll be coming back soon!

Transparency.

I just had this random conversation with a friend and this nearly broke my heart:

“We can never get through life alone. We always need somebody. If you read my note about the 51 things I must do before I turn 20, you must’ve come across the line saying that we cannot find the meaning of life alone. It’s always with other people. Remember, if you’re thinking that you can do it alone, then why are you still talking to me? Don’t tell me that this is only because we’re friends. That’s the whole point. You need and have friends. You need and have your family. You need and have love from other people. You will never survive alone.”

(Estrada, 2012)

I’m sharing these things two you because I know that in the other end of the rope, there would always be someone like me who’s always been afraid of opening their weird, pathetic, geeky, dorky (and the list goes on) selves to the world. Everyone’s afraid of judgments but at one point in time, you just have to be carefree, feel the world in your hands, and enjoy the bareness of your shoulder.

Explore the world and never take people for granted because admit it or not, you will never survive alone.
