Self-esteem, may worth ka pa ba?

Para sa akin (tama,opinyon ko ito!), hindi mo dapat ibina-bargain ang iyong self-regard. Dahil kung lagi at paulit ulit mong gagawin baka sa bandang huli pati ikaw, sariling worth mo, maconfuse ka na din. Hayaan mo namang maranasan ang mapahalagahan. Yung mayroon mag-iiba ng direksyon o patutunguhan para sa iyo. Aba, bakit mo hahayaang maramdaman o may magparamdam sayo na napakaliit mo? Na ikaw ang laging kailangang mag-adjust?  Samantalang yung mismong Manlilikha mo, kasingtaas mo o mas mataas pa nga ang pagtingin sa 'yo. Minamahal at pinahahalagahan ka ng buong buo. Ngayon, anong karapatan nang ibang taong iparamdam sayo na wala kang halaga? Wala. Walang wala! Tandaan mo, ikaw dapat ang kauna-unahang magtaas ng worth mo. Sigurado ako, 'yan ang magiging basehan ng mga taong gustong pumasok sa buhay mo.

Muli, never compromise your self-worth.

The Person Who Knows You Well

In the midst of this dramatic-cuddling weather, I came into a realization that my mother knows my pain even when (a) it's in the form of silence, (b) I am unconscious I'm carrying it, and (c) regardless of me being overly denial. She does not need to see a tear fall down in my face before she get to know it. SHE FEELS IT EVEN when I don't admit it.

Oftentimes, I thought you were just overreacting. I just knew there is always this deeper sense in what you're saying which comes from the very reliable thing called mom's instinct. I must say, MOTHER IS THE BEST PSYCHOLOGIST.

Out with Old, In with the New

I have decided to change my thinking--thinking about myself, goals and how I mingle with the people around me. If there are things I love about what happened months ago it is giving myself a chance to discover my strengths and weaknesses. Being able to stand for myself and bring back the  respect I know I rightfully deserve.  From that very moment, as my days have changed, I learned to see things wonderfully. Begun to appreciate the shine of a rising sun, breeze of the morning, simple text from a friend, little gfits and thoughts from the people who appreciate me. Wooooow! There is more to life than just focusing your full time to just one person. There is so much more to look forward to. My eyes become wide open to the reality that God's love for me is bigger than me.  How He has blessed me for years which I neglected to put my attention to. Everyday is a gift-be excited about it!

Today, I choose myself! I choose to know more about God's promise! To give importance to the people who value me. This is my life. I will live positively. No rushing, More of embracing! THIS IS MY DECLARATION :)

GENTLEMEN'S DAY

For the past years, I have been aware that a father is the one who watches over you, serves as your pillar, prays for/with you, hugs you on your down moments, witness every milestone in your life, wants the best for you, works hard for you and THE ONE WHO STAYS because they love you. You may have the one you call "best/great dad", thus, I was favorably blessed by God with countless gentlemen in my life who exemplify everything I have mentioned above. BLOOD DOES NOT DETERMINE FATHERHOOD; RESPONSIBILITY, AVAILABILITY AND DIGNITY DO.

Happy Father's Day to the gentlemen who made me feel loved for years! I love you from the bottom of my heart. You all made meaning to who I am right now. 

For once, I am going to say this,
"I had you at your worst, she had you at your best."
Ain't saying this with regrets,
This is just a regress. 
Hey, I still wish you the best.

Note To The ‘Has Been’

Making a note for you is something that is not new to me. Thus, with this one, contents do. From the moment  we parted our ways, I have seen a lot of changes. I can see now that you are happy(Nonetheless, by God's grace, I am happy, too.). Right there, I knew I made the right decision. I knew this is what you/I/we need. Well, it has been my reason since that day, to see you in a right disposition. I want you to find yourself and look for your new inspiration/motivation. I just hope it continues til I see a successful you. I am thankful for the memories. And I’m grateful for the pains. After all, I have learned that there is no such thing as bad experiences only lessons learned. Wishing you all the best. I know at this point in time, I am writing with a happy heart.

Sincerely & truly,

The woman who cared/cares for you

Ode to Mister Life-Saver/Heart-Fixer

    I always tell you how you make my heart smile. I know once you've learned about it, you will say "weh?" na naman.
   Funny how I depressingly felt ditched for the past months e you were around. You're providing me a different perspective, helping me see a brighter side. Embarrassing! I'm too concerned with my filthy unhealthy feelings. I'M SO GLAD YOU NEVER GAVE UP.
   Stubborn as you love to describe me, yet you know that I honor your words and your opinion matters. I keep on wondering how you maximize the remaining pinch of confidence I have for myself.  Hmm, I must say YOU ARE THE BEST CONFIDENCE BOOSTER! Having tested your patience for 1... 2... 3... 4... ohh! countless times, it's proven. It is the longest! :)
   How on earth you maintain not to think of sinful thoughts about other people? I know some instances which you may be excused of creating one yet you chose to ignore and be nice anyway. Biggest heart of all! Out of your overly productive crazy days, a big space is always always intended for me. Your efforts scream P-R-I-O-R-I-TY! hihi Where will I find another person having great mind as you who tirelessly say I am also good. That I am smart and talented, too. That I can be anything I dream to be.
   Sigh :) I will never run out of pleasant words to describe you. You are truly an amazing person. I'm blessed it is me you've given the privilege to experience your contagious acts of generosity. You deserve all the love, happiness and respect! You've given me more that I deserve and I couldn't thank you enough for that.

Ending it with this:

Sincerely, thank you :")
