2021, be my friend



Happy new year!

2021 arrived exactly 9 days ago and it was candid. I am trying to live in the moment and be stoic about everything that’s happening. I haven’t written any of the goals and plans that I wanted to achieve this year which is not very the past-22-years me. I am a person who thinks ahead of everything and I still am, sometimes. But now, as I write this one candidly too, I figured how life doesn’t have to always be about deadlines. I am learning the beauty of stillness in living; the journey and the waiting. I am still the girl filled with hopes and dreams that I have always been. Sometimes I take a pause and reflect, realize other little dreams. Life is such a complex multi-faceted thing (as a of lot things are) that I am yet to be acquainted with. I thought it was singular, linear and monotonous as it is, but it doesn’t have to be.

Now, I think redefining my life would be my main goal for 2021. It is a continuous step towards becoming and to be a friend with change.

I am the daring dreams I dream, the endless hope I share, and the unconditional love I give.

May we all have a worthwhile year.

Alone/Together Review

Ugh, been wanting to watch this film for ages so when it came up on Netflix today, I watched it immediately, and my oh my did it not disappoint! Kudos to Ms. Tonette for this great film! This review focuses mostly on the storyline because I am sucker for stories, but I have to admit that the cinematography is superb as well! First of all, why don’t we have a genre for dreams? Yes, dreams! I want to have a genre that could empower dreamers like how romance movies empower hopeless romantics. Just a thought, though. Anyway, the two main points that I love about this movie is the concept of living your “what-if” for a day (don’t we all have one?) and rediscovering yourself. Sometimes we grow up and we think that we are no longer the naïve dreamer we once were. Tine and Raf grew up and became two people far from who they perceived they would become when they were still in college. As a youngster myself, I do have aspirations of changing the world, and like Tine who was changed by th...

I’m scared

I want someone to hold me and listen to me because I’m so scared about everything. Fear paralyzes me from the moment I wake up. The emotion clouds my thoughts of not being good enough. I feel like no one would love this disappointing version of myself who could not even get out of bed and face her day. I feel so unlovable. Most days, I still carry the awful things that have been said to me and wonder if they’re true. I feel like my life is heading towards nowhere, sometimes I don’t think it’s even moving. I don’t make progress and I’m stagnant because I’m afraid to be rejected, fail, or make a fool out of myself. I’m so tired of being the person they ran into when they have problems only to have no one when I needed a hand. I’m so scared of losing people I push them away even before they do. I tend to sabotage relationships by showing them my worst traits thinking that maybe if they already saw me at my worst and stayed, then maybe this time they would. But who sticks around a person...

The familiar misery

Sometimes, even though it's been a while, I still cannot believe on the permanence of your absence in my life. How can someone just not be there anymore? I hate it . And sometimes I want to be selfish and grab the person that holds your face but what stops me was the thought that nothing would ever change now. I've tried so hard for so long and it's just not there anymore. I just hate how it still fucks me up sometimes. I hate the memories we made and the footprints we left in this town. How can I go around without thinking about all those times? How can you?  I'll sleep this ache. I hope I will eventually get tired of reopening this wound because the outcome would never change and it would always just hurt.
