A List of Things I’ve Been hearing Lately

Things happened so fast…

Give yourself a break…

It’s been a hard year for you…

Grabeha oi!

You’re strong, you’ve always been strong. you’ll get through this.

Everyone knows you’re not like that. Why would he even think that?!

Ga lagot ko niya!!!

Mas ganahan jud ko ni ______, mayta mag balik pa mo.

Nganu ganahan man jud ka ug weird pets?

Sauna pagyud ka ana.

Boang gyud ka. Na dala paman ug joke joke. 
— oh wells.

The best thing I’ve ever done is choosing to be alone or rather to surround myself with people who no longer make me feel so small.

I don’t have to prove myself to people I care about and if they cared about me, I would never have to prove myself to them anyways.  I don’t have to worry about disappointing people because I am not disappointing myself. I’m moving at my own pace and I feel like I’m flying right now.

I’m working on a film, I’m on schedule, I’m setting meetings with clients, I’m playing with my hedgehog, packing for events and reading again. I am at peace because noone is waging a war with me and in return, I am not starting wars with myself.

I get sad sometimes, but sadness is a feeling that hovers around me like a rain cloud but I always sleep it off.

I’m listening to a song that used to make me cry but now it’s just background noise and that means a lot especially for the sentimental loser that I am.

I wake up contented now knowing that I’m living this life for noone but myself whether I am alone or not. I don’t have to worry about hurting anyone or falling short or having my mistakes dangled in my face and that is truly the best part about all of this. 

I am OK. I hope you are all the same.

Dai, kwaa palihug akong rubber shoes sa taas, katong itom ug pink. (was rushing to do something so I asked her to do it for me. I am not dependent -.-)

5 minutes later she comes back with this…

Ah, Jesus. I die. hahaha.

Went to 2 events, got my nails done, ate Japanese food and had a lot of my questions answered today.

Tomorrow I have a photo shoot, a morning at the gym and a night of watching over Cotton and on Saturday is just another set of crazy events.

Truly grateful that I am able to do all these things.

Again, I am ok.
