You know you've progressed somewhat in life when you

1. Acknowledge a weakness
2. ALLOW people to see said weakness (sometimes making fun of you shamelessly)
3. while simultaneously embracing the weakness yourself
4. and most importantly, continue to try a new things in spite of weakness.

So proud of myself :')
"I don’t want to trip and fall," said she.

"Don’t worry. I’ll catch you," said he.

Or something to that effect. Well, it turns out (and this is contrary to personal beliefs), that such things don’t just happen in books and movies. I’ve had the privilege of riding the waves of many an emotion. But this emotion. This feeling. Esso foreign to me.

Who would’ve known.

Numero Duè

Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

Love is such a scary thing

"Have you ever been scared of being with someone who is truly in love with you? That person you have known all your life and you just know he would never hurt you or break up with you?

Well, I'm scared.

Scared of my feelings for him. Are they even real? Scared of our love for each other. I'm scared that he loves me too much and I can't love him back. But he's my best friend and I don't want to lose him. Deep down in my heart I know that I can't love him the way he loves me, and that someday I will hurt him. Once I admit it there is no going back. And we will never be the same again.

At one point don't we all want that perfect guy, that perfect love. But in reality we are scared of that, because we've been broken for too many times. Love is such a scary thing."

Número Uno

Numero uno, in every sense of the phrase. Interesting how all the little things I’ve managed to figure out about my wants and needs in my 22 years seem to come together in you.
I never thought I’d say this so soon, but you make sense to me. I didn’t have to spend much time rationalising why this is working out as well as it is at the moment, because almost everything clicks. He truly works in mysterious ways. It’s almost unreal. It’s almost unreal.
I like the rules that we agreed on. It shows restraint. Patience. And faith that if this is really meant to be, it will be. God willing. And above all, it shows respect for all parties involved. I thought these things only happen in books. Either I don’t meet many people or I don’t read enough books. (Its definitely both.)
This post might be extremely, extremely (extremely) pre-mature, but I needed to get this out. This may or may not happen, I am very much aware. But regardless, I thank you for the fire you’ve ignited inside me. The world seems that little bit more beautiful now.

“Dear Friend,
I like to start my notes to you as if we’re already in the middle of a conversation. I pretend that we’re the oldest and dearest friends, as opposed to what we actually are, people who don’t know each other’s names, and met in a chatroom where we both claim we’d never been before.

"What will NY152 say today?" I wonder.

I turn on my computer. I wait impatiently as it connects, I go online,and my breath catches in my chest as I hear three little words - “You’ve Got Mail!”

I hear nothing, not even a sound on the streets of New York, Just the beat of my own heart. I have mail, from you.”

Sooooo many things have been happening these past few months; both the good and the not so good and I don't know where to start.

I'm so tired. Mentally. Physically. I don't recall having this many headaches in a span of weeks. I feel lethargic even when I gym at least once a week. Been eating less too. I'm always having something on my mind. School is more hectic than usual (learning a new language is alot of work!) but I'm glad to be busy like this. I know what needs to be done and I know how to go about doing them and I have faith that things will work out the way they're meant to.

But, sigh. Even now as I'm trying to empty my mind, I can't quite put some of my thoughts into words. Do I need to think about these thoughts more?

I miss that feeling I get after blogging. That empty-bladder feeling. Don't know if it's just me, but I think Instagram sort of took over the blogging scene. But now even Instagram is starting to feel a little bit too crowded so I've decided to slowly ease myself back in here.
