Choose: My Happiness or Yours?



We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision.

You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay?
You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better?
You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer?


Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it. 

But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not.

But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they may not be happy because you declined their offer but sometimes, they should understand that. They should understand that they don't have to control you over something they want, that's what friends are, right? 
It is true that it's not that easy but...think about it...They will get used to you as someone who just goes with the flow and take advantage of it. Why not change a little and try seeing things your way? Make them see that you can be the boss of yourself as well.

Changing is indeed hard, but like what they say, "Change is the only constant thing in this world." Why not spread your wings a little? Show them that side of yours that's never been seen by anyone. Make a change. Chase your happiness and not just force it to come. We make our own happiness and that's that. No one can say otherwise.

You wanna be a teacher? Then be a teacher.
You wanna help someone out? Then don't hesitate to give a helping hand.
You wanna make a difference? Then go for it.

Sometimes, we just need to look at the positive side of things and never jump out to the negative side. What if you're just over-thinking it, right? We just have to change our what if's to I know's.

I know they'll understand.
I know they'll still be there for me.
I know they'll never leave.

All we need is understanding. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don't Take Love Away

If you know someone who has a girlfriend and if you're planning to flirt with the man, I'm gonna have to ask you to read this post until the end. This will be short. Whenever I'm outside, in a classroom, or in a cafe, I have heard conversations about a girl crushing on a guy who already have a girlfriend, and what I heard we're pretty bad. Their plans would either be: wait til they break up (adding "walang forever" / "there's no forever") flirt steal the guy herself Why? Why do you have to go through all that process on stealing someone's love? Why do you have to be selfish? Do you think about the consequences? Have you ever thought that you will ruin someone's view about love? How can you live thinking that you got what you want, but there is someone out there crying at night thinking why they WEREN'T ENOUGH. If it sounds as if I've been through that kind of pain... then yes, I have, and I still am going through ...

Goodnight.

It's almost 2am and my mind is filled with reasons why I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep ... because when you've said your last "goodnight" for today, I wondered if you'll ever need me for the next couple of hours. What if you couldn't sleep, or have been woken up from a nightmare, and I wouldn't be there to tell you that everything's going to be alright? Tell me what's bothering you at 3am and I will talk to you until you fall asleep. And by then I'll bid you Goodnight. I couldn't sleep ... because when I look at the ceiling, I'd wish that by the time I look beside me, I can see you, and not this pillow missing the warmth of your skin. And maybe by then we wouldn't need to have our phone in our hands, because I would intertwine your fingers with mine, and they'd fit perfectly, almost as if it's meant to be. And we'll look at each other's eyes Not on our phones Because we wouldn't have ...

Some Alone Time

This blog has been mostly about positive outlooks in life and the future, but allow me to give you a little gray cloud on a sunny day. For the past few weeks, my family has been asking me about my depression. They'd ask how can I still not get over my parent's death ( read about it   here ). How can I if that triggered my depression on? I know they're worried, they told me that they give me the things I need... but then I thought... I don't need material things, I just need them to understand. When they inquire me what's really happening inside my nutshell, I'd just look down and tell them that it's not easy to define, and I told them that I'll just express all of it to my psychiatrist. But today, I decided to write all about it. I know that the negativity of this post isn’t decent, but at least hear me out. 3 years ago, a year after my mom died, I understood my father’s constant drinking of alcoholic beverages, and I also understood all his s...
