The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see in truth that you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

—Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet”

When you’ve been living alone for too long…

You start to look for a reason…

Before you love someone else…

stipz:

Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.

stipz:

Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.

I really miss being able to hold someones hand,

hey it isn’t sexual or anything but it makes you feel important, Significant, Needed. Like how could you not? Someone is holding on to you, and they aren’t letting go. Someone actually wants you.
