So for the Drama

He cheated on you, he dumped you, blah blah, then what? Show me a grin honey; it’s happened to almost everyone. Whether it’s been a cute summer fling or half a decade romance saga, there’s always that relationship hang over you need to outlast in order to carry on with your life.

Ssshhhh… I know… it’s such a barrel of pain. Losing someone you thought would be what most people call “the one” feels like falling into a black hole where there’s no way out. It even hurts a lot more when you invested and expected too much from your relationship that would just suddenly end up in a burst of a bubble. Take it from someone who’s sworn to abstain from dating forever—well, okay, for at least the next few months, because of the insensitivity and self-centeredness of almost the entire male race. I have my reasons, just to clarify.

It really is so ironic when you feel out of the loops and get into the constant questioning of “Why? Why? Why?” but still force your brain to infect itself with the so-called ‘how-we-ended-amnesia.’ Then, when seeking the gal’s gospel advices, you continuously utter the “I-don’t-want-to-be-his-friend-cliché’ but still get the urge to call him late at night to just hear a few seconds of that graceful baritone. You go delete his number from your contacts list; but oh please, you’ve memorized it way better than the country’s national anthem. For months you always find yourself staying late in bed, nibbling that chocolate bar you didn’t know contained 150-300 calories, because you keep skipping your meals just like how heartbroken teenage girls do in television soaps.

(What? Did I just hit you?)

There are billions of stories from billions of girls but everyone agrees that sure it’s hard to do, but it’s definitely not impossible to overcome; and it all begins with believing you can hog the limelight once more and enjoy for the second time around.

Truly, getting out of a relationship is indeed very wearisome that’s why you always need to give yourself time, not to wallow in self-pity but to cry and emancipate all the angst; but then, bear in mind that you must also learn when to say “Enough!” Depression can indeed be very debilitating if you allow it to consume you.

Getting out of the pit is easier said than done. For now, everything seems hopeless and helpless that nothing anyone says or does could help fit the tattered pieces perfectly, or so as it seems. Let the past stay there—what was can never be or will be. Just learn to accept present realities and don’t hang on to maybe’s and what if’s. Remember, where you are is where God wants you to be. There is still that long and fabulous runway to strut, and listen, guys are never the antidotes who we couldn’t live without! You don’t belong to anyone else but yourself. There are more things to relish rather than mulling over the jerk who never even deserved you in the first place. Go get that makeover and shopping spree, then show the world your whole new repaired persona. Realize that the prize to be won is you and from this very moment, don’t you dare allow anyone to ever again let you think less of who you actually are.

You are loved, beautiful. ;-)

XOXO,

The Fairest of Them All


I know exactly how it is to be a complete loser who is consumed by a feeling of uncertainty in this massive and hectic world.

It wasn’t so long ago when I used to live like a fish out of water; I flailed about, gasping for satisfaction and not finding it.
Coming from a family that always had a prim background, people expect me to be the epitome of an ideal adolescent. Thus, if I fail to conform to the standards they set up for me, I despise myself more.

I have always wanted to live my life as a princess in a fairytale. But I knew that such illusion only existed in the mere corners of my mind. I was sure of this belief because when I looked at myself, I never saw a princess but a grisly creature wanting to belong to the dainty ladies in their castle-worthy gowns.

On the surface, I may act like any other typical teenager trying to make the best of her years. But when you look deep within me, you will discover a little, feeble girl drowning in her own tears. I hid behind a mask of happiness so that people would not ask me what is wrong; I tussled but I tried my best not to show it.

A point came in my life where I knew I could no longer bear being locked up in the shadows of anguish and insecurities. I realized that I am not in a position to judge my own value or anyone else’s. What matters is who I actually am in the eyes of God and not in the eyes of His people.

I no longer strive for flawlessness because I have come to comprehend that I would always remain imperfect; despite that, I know that God would always love me as I am.

So what is the secret to contentment? I’ve heard it from a statement by Oprah Winfrey which says, “Want what you have and you will always have what you want.”

Since then, I’ve tried to apply that dictum in my life and I’ve realized that I certainly am the fairest of them all!
