My Eight Stages of Hunger

When I can’t figure out what to eat, I…

  1. look at my list of 50 favorite nearby restaurants
  2. look at restaurant websites
  3. instant message my friends and ask what they’ve eaten today
  4. text message my friends to see what they’ve eaten today
  5. scroll through Instagram for food porn
  6. scroll through my own food porn
  7. turn on the TV and eat at the first food commercial that pops up
  8. lie down and think about food until I either decide on something or I pass out.

That’s totally normal, right? lol

Love & Honor

“Talking.” Courting. Dating. Becoming official. Moving in. Relationship-defining fights. The blessing of her parents. Proposal. Marriage.

I always believed that the whole journey should be honorable.

Maybe I’m just old-fashioned like that.

But I’m slowly opening up to the idea that maybe love doesn’t have to follow that script to be honorable.

Sometimes a woman’s love overlaps two men for a while before finally committing to the right one.

Sometimes the right one started off as a rebound.

Sometimes two people are right for each other even though some closest friends/family say it’s wrong.

Sometimes the right one once dated a close friend.

Sometimes two people falling in love means someone on the outside has to get hurt.

Maybe when it comes to love, the only honor that’s needed is two people that are meant for each other, finally finding each other.

And nothing else matters.

Why Do I Try?

I’ve always believed that if I always treat people the way I want to be treated, good things will happen to me.

That working hard and being kind will take me places.

That what goes around, comes around.

That all the times I’ve gotten burned is just me paying my dues, and later in life I will be rewarded for my selflessness. For my compassion. For my internal desire to want to make my mark on this world by leaving it a little more beautiful than I found it.

Maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe the only way to get what I really want is to be selfish. To take what I want. To not prioritize anyone or anything else but myself and what I want.

But I don’t want that. I don’t want to believe that.

I can’t explain why it is so deeply entrenched in me to always want to do the right thing, when my biggest losses in the past have proven that I will be just be taken advantage of.

Maybe I’m just being blind. Stupid. Naive. Ignorant. I don’t know…

But I’ll keep trying.

There has to be something good for me out there. Something that’ll make everything in the past worthwhile.

At least I hope so.

Life & Love

by Unknown

Life is the process of finding love; every person will need to find four people in their life.

The first person is you; the second person is the one you love most, the third person is the one who love you most, and the fourth is the one you spend the rest of your life with.

First in life, you will meet with the one whom you love most, and learn how love feels. You will learn how love feels, so you can find the person who loves you the most. When you have experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved, you will then know what it is you need most. Then you will find the person who is most suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with.

Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person.

The one you love most doesn’t love you. The one who loves you most is never the one you love most. And the one you spend your life with is never the one you love most or the one who loves you most. She is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.

Which person are you in other people’s life?

No person will purposely have a change of heart. At that point in time, when she loves you, she really loves you. But when she doesn’t love you anymore,she really doesn’t love you anymore. When she loves you, she can’t pretend that he doesn’t. Same goes, when she loves you no longer, there’s no way she can pretend she loves you.

When a person doesn’t love you and wants to leave you, you must ask yourself if you still love her. If it so happens that you don’t love her anymore, do not keep her just to save your pride. If you still love her, you should wish her happiness and hope that she will be with the one she loves most, not stop her from it. If you stop her from finding true happiness with the one she loves, it shows you already don’t love her, And if you don’t love her, what rights do you have to blame her for a change of heart?

Love is not possessive. If you like the moon, you can’t just take it down and put it in your room. But the moonlight still shines upon you. In other words, when you love a person, you can use another method of possessing the person. Let her become a permanent memory in you life. If you really love a person, you must love her for what she is. Love her for her good points, and the bad. You can’t wish for her to become what you like her to be just because you love her.

When you really love a person, you cannot find a reason why you love her. You only know that no matter when and where, good mood or bad mood, you will wish to have this person be with you. Real love is when two people can go through the toughest problems without asking for promises or listing criterias. In a relationship, you have to put in effort and give in at times, not always be on the receiving end. Being away from each other is a type of test; if the relationship isn’t strong, then you can only admit defeat. Real love will never become hate.

When two people are in love, they love to ask each other to swear, to make promises. Why do they ask each other to swear and promise? Because they don’t trust each other, they don’t trust their lover. These swears and promises are useless. Till the sky falls, till the ocean dries, my love for you will never change. We all know that the sky will never fall and that the ocean will never dry. And if it does happen, will we even be alive?

Clarity

It’s not until waaay after things fell apart that you are finally able to see with clarity:

It’s not about what you two did or didn’t do to each other.

It’s about how you two made each other feel.

One Shot

I’ll go out there and make my mistakes. I’ll fall down, get hurt, cry, laugh, love, and get back up. I’ll stand on the highest mountaintop and go into the deepest caverns. I’ll roam across the world, visit the moon and swim in outer space. I’ll let my imagination run wild and let my spirit soar. Why? Because when my life flashes before my eyes in those final moments, I want to have something worthwhile to watch, with plenty of love and laughter, good times and bad. I don’t want to regret a thing and I plan not to. Remember, it’s not usually the things you do that you regret, it’s the things you don’t do and leave unsaid. Laugh out loud. Cry in the rain. Love with all your heart and soul. Get hurt. Tell the truth. Go crazy. But never forget that you only get one shot. One shot at this day, one shot at this minute. One shot at this age. One shot at life. So make sure your life is one you will enjoy watching in your final moments.

“The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments…”

Learn to let go of the past… and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair… remember it’s only in the black of night you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get everything you wish for… Maybe you’ll get more than you ever could have imagined… Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end… the journey is the destination.
