I gotta marry somebody that takes holidays seriously. A family person. Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries etc, must all be celebrated fully in my household.
Grateful for Mama's birthday celeb:
Lunch spread by Papa & I
Cake & ice cream by Mommy Jo
Softdrinks & wines by Tatay J
Charcuterie spread by Kuya Nic & Cathy
You are loved and missed, Maria Gloria! ☁️✨️
i'm proud to say, i've mastered self-comforting over time. i've learned to cry alone, give my own shoulder a pat, wipe my own tears and convince myself that everything's gonna be fine whenever the world weighs me down. the consoling that i can give myself is the one that i need
no, u can’t fully understand someone unless you’ve been in their shoes. u can’t claim that u know what they feel when u never experienced what they went through.
but u can be kind with them. u can be gentle with them. u can be compassionate. that’s enough. it’s more than enough
no one talks about how exhausting it is to be observant. how u break your own heart a little every day from the tiny details u involuntarily pick up, and u just wanna tell yourself that none of it is real, but it's also u who's telling u that it is. so how do u trust yourself?
