I dream of flight only because I
forget that lightness, in bringing
me closer to the sky, takes me
away from the ground.What do I seek, then—the air
under my wings, or the earth
beneath my feet?Do I dare dream
of both?

Never take your rights, or your education, for granted. Happy International Women’s Day.
Such a brave girl.
Seek first to understand then to be understood.
Sometimes I can’t stand how people react to circumstances that befalls upon them when worse have happened in the past because of them. A lot of times, we let ourselves be victimized by the situation but honestly, when I ask myself if I have done my part in being true to myself and the people I care about, I don’t doubt myself. But do you? Have you considered your part? Sometimes people forget that friendship goes both ways. When one party has stopped trying a long time ago, how then should the other party reciprocate? I don’t know about you, but my dear, I have doing my part for a long time only to be silently hurt by your actions and your words when you choose to be indifferent about me. And it only hurts because I cared about you deeply and I thought of you as my friend. And now, I am just indifferent. I learned from the best. You.
"It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself."
