Existential bear

Who do you see?

Flaglet

Saw this somewhere yesterday and made me think, is this why we often push people who love us away? Because we’re not ready to receive the love we aren’t able to share, yet?

Silver linings

“These drops of sunshine, when drawn together, have the grace to highlight the silver linings in the darkest clouds.”

Quezon City, Philippines.

Multo

Sabi nila, ang kaligayahan daw ay hinahanap at hindi kusang dumarating.

Pero kung gaano ito kadaling sabihin, ay gayun ding hirap gawin.

Nang tawirin ko ang gahiblang distansya na naglalayo sayo mula sa akin,

daig mo pa

ang batang ginulat

ang kabayong pinalo

ang usang binaril

ang makahiyang nadaplisan

ang kunehong nagtatatakbo.

Na sa ating dalawa, parang ikaw pa ang nakakita ng multo.

Sabagay.

Kaytagal na kitang inilibing, pero alam ko namang anumang mangyari

Ika’y mananatiling buhay pa rin.

Sino, ang tanong, ang naiwan sa hukay na pinaghirapan ko?

(Handa nga ba akong marinig ang sagot?)

Rejection

I am not afraid of rejection. Been there, done that. But the lack of fear does not make it any less painful, does it?

Broken

Close your eyes and lie.

No one can ever be broken beyond repair.

Sleep, and allow yourself to heal.

If only

If only forgetting is as easy as throwing all the physical memories.

Affect

It’s painful to see that I

do not affect you

the same way you do to me

*I do hope you’re okay now

Questions

I should stop asking questions whose answers I am not prepared to hear.

Numb

numb, adj.

“Oh, it’s you.”
