Discarded Drafts

My ideas came rushing down my fingertips ...
I decided to sleep in their house that day. Actually, we planned that I will sleep there.

Those were the only lines in this post - the first not making any sense :). Supposedly a continuation of previous posts relaying the events that happened with my previous relationship, this has stayed as a draft since 2009. Labeled only as Draft, I have decided the title to have the same label - although I have decided not to discard it. How ironic ***chuckle***.

I have been so young then - much blinded by the idea of 'true love', a novelist's mind's creative hands. So young to even realize that everything's a lie. A neophyte in the arena of bisexuals driven only by lust and lies. But all those were behind me, I have matured, or perhaps evolved and learned how to survive.

That now, I realized further that all this reminiscing is quite pathetic. However, I choose not to delete those previous posts, for posterity. Something to learn from I guess.

The only option left for me as well as for any sane man is to walk forward. And looking for a quote about walking forward, I stumble upon one from Cecelia Ahern:
“Alone or not, you gotta walk forward.”
It has always been true all this time - alone or not. We've started walking forward with lots of love and companions, but in time, we chose a different path where we, more often than not, are left alone. It's human to look for companions but I guess we don't need to look for one, they come and go along the way. What we can just do is to savor every moment when there was that companionship and be thankful for its mere presence, nothing more. So that when we're alone once again, we will continue to walk forward. If your paths converge, and you chose to create a new path where the two of you can travel together, that is a choice worth choosing.

So here I am, walking forward with discarded drafts behind me, to which I should never look back.

Been Gone Too Long

I guess some people write only when they're sad, or inspired, or let's just say when lonely.

Am I? Which is why I am blogging now?

Ah! I've been gone too long indeed. But it's funny to start off with David Archuleta's video blogs. For some reason, he inspires me in amazing ways. Might be doing it regularly, but I'm not sorry. LOL.

Haven't figured out yet how to post it with the actual videos being shown and not just the link.

What Matters Most

Is love as predictable as the rain?

Akala natin makikilala natin ito kapag nakita natin ito. Minsan, hindi natin alam, natitisod na pala tayo hindi pa natin namamalayang tayo pala'y nagmamahal na.

Magigising ka na lamang isang araw, hindi kumpleto ang araw mo na hindi nakikita ang isang tao. Na kahit magsakripisyo ka ng oras, ng panahon kahit oras na lang na iyong itutulog, OK lang basta't makasama mo lang ang taong iyon. Hindi din ganap ang kasiyahang iyon hangga't hindi mo nauulinig ang malutong na tawa at maaninag ang maamong mukha ng iyong minamahal. At kung paminsan minsa'y ang pagdaop ng inyong mga palad.

Ang bawat sandaling kayo lamang dalawa ang magkasama ay panahong inuukit mo sa iyong memorya. Sinusuong kahit na ang imposible basta't makasama mo lamang siya kahit isang nakaw na gabi. Ang mga lugar na inyong napuntahan ay pilit na binabalik-balikan - sumasakay na mag-uli sa swing sa puno ng mangga, o nagpapalipas ng oras sa parehong bench kung saan kayo sumilong nang umulan nand di ninyo alintana.

Totoo, may mga bagay na masakit tanggapin subalit katotohanan, na minsan ang pagibig ay iisa ang daloy na dinadaluyan. Ang ilog ay bibihirang nagsasalubong. One way ika nga katulad ng mga busy streets. Masakit ngunit kailangang lunukin dahil iyon ang dapat. Bakit mo nga naman ipagsisiksikan ang sarili sa isang salok na puno na?

Sadyang ganyan nga ang buhay at ang buhay ay kailangang magpatuloy. Ang mahalaga, ikaw ay minsan sa iyong buhay ay nagmahal ng tunay. Ang pagibig ay ni minsa'y hindi lumayo, ang tao ang lumalayo sa pagibig. Kaya naman para makalimot, minsan ang paglayo ay dapat at matuwid.

Sabi nga, what matters most is that we love at all. And that love will remain engraven in my heart. Even though we part, as parting is the only way to heal the open wounds that only my heart has, those memories will make the wounds bleed fresh and make me remember once more that sometime, somewhere there was someone to whom this heart has deeply cared for. Wo ai ni. Yo amor usted.
