Life – Night Owl Thoughts

UNBOTHERED

My mind rushesTo overthink something that hasn’t happened yetIt jumps from one thought to anotherShould I stay unbothered? My eyes get tearyAt the mention of your nameIt’s one question after anotherHow do I stay unbothered? My chest hurtsTo ask, to speak, to knowIt wants clarity one way or anotherIs it right to stay unbothered?

22

I gave away 22 planners to different people for my 22nd birthday. It has been a long tradition to celebrate my even-numbered birthdays by giving back to the community. The recent ones I did were sponsoring the community pantry of my school during the pandemic and feeding street dwellers back in 2023. This year, IContinue reading “22”

Heart checklist is a series of realizations and experiences I got from loving the people I love. I had to break up with someone last year.

Dear Future Me

I started journaling again. It’s been a while since my last entry. Something about this feels so therapeutic. Like when I started cleaning my room again after sometime.

Kinabukasan

Sa tuwing iniisip ko ang kahihinatnan ng binubuo nating relasyon, ‘di ko maiwasang ngumiti. Ito pala ang pakiramdam na makahanap ng taong gusto mong makasama sa bawat bundok at lambak ng buhay. Hindi pala puro kilig ang pag-ibig, may kirot ding kaakibat ang pagmamahal nang tapat. Higit kong nararamdaman ang ligaya sa bawat surpresa naContinue reading “Kinabukasan”

Still here

Sometime in 2021, I wrote a prose called Hidden Tears of the Silver Cloud. It was the first time I saw and felt that you’re down. I never knew the reason behind the heavy weight you carried that day. For all I know, you might still be carrying the same burden today. Now in 2024,Continue reading “Still here”

You must know

I wonder how confident you are with your knowledge of me. There’s no denying that you already know about the things that make me smile. I mean, you’re in that list. Perhaps you also know what I look like when I wake up in the morning. You’ll enjoy more of that in the future, hopefully.Continue reading “You must know”

I find myself both longing and assuredWhenever we part ways after a long dayIt’s his hug that tells me things will be okayThe same hug I’ll crave for but don’t say And when it’s time to say goodbye, his line goes:“Let me know when you get home.”Then he waits for my reply but does heContinue reading “JGH”
