i've just realized that my inbox (phone) is almost always full. i read through the messages and saw that most of them were forwarded quotes from my friends. the reason i saved them? because the messages struck a note or hit me in some sort of way. i thought they all rang certain truths. so i've decided to compile these messages in the hopes that the truths that they speak will make some difference to how you're feeling and what you're thinking:
"There are certain things in life that are better off unknown. Things you wish you never asked, never saw, never heard and sometimes never even felt."
"You should not be sorry about love. Rather, it should make you wonder that if you were once happy with the wrong one, how much more when the right one comes?"
"It has never been a question of who forgets. But sometimes, there's a definite pain on being the one who remembers everything."
"One of the reasons why people hold on to memories so tight is because memories are the only things that don't change when everything else does."
"Sometimes, you can't stop yourself from hoping for yesterday to come back especially when yesterday was the only future you ever wanted and needed from the start."
"Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sayo kahit na pinapasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin yung araw na sakit na lang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo." - Bob Ong
"Love someone whose heart has been broken so he/she knows exactly how it feels, so as not to break yours."
"In order for you to be truly happy with other people, you have to learn first how to be contented and happy being alone. Its only when you become in touch with yourself that you realize how important it is to be a whole person before sharing your life with someone else."
"You let go, let the tears flow, feel it completely- but eventually be able to say: Alright, that was my moment with loneliness. I'm not afraid of being lonely, but I'm going to put that loneliness aside and know that there are other emotions in the world, and I'm going to experience them as well..." - Tuesdays with Morrie
"Let go of what kills you and hold on to what keeps you breathing."
"You know what's nice when having a hangover? Its when your head hurts more than your heart..."
"Somewhere between heartaches and waiting comes another chance to be found by someone who can show you that you don't deserve to be just an option but the only choice."
"Love is the answer. But while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions." - Woody Allen
"Pag pinag-aagawan ka, malamang maganda o guwapo ka. Sumama ka sa mabuti, di sa mabait. Sa marunong, di sa matalino. Sa mahal ka, di sa gusto ka." -Bob Ong
"Pretending to be friends with the one you love is like breathing under water. You can't hold it too long because if you do, you won't make it out alive."
"If Cinderella's glass slippers fit perfectly, why did it fall off along the way? Maybe it speaks about an important lesson: Not everything that perfectly fits, fits forever."
"You can't force yourself to forget something because the only reason why we forget is when a better memory has taken its place."
"Always remember that the longer you stay with the things you don't really enjoy equates to every moment you lose with what could be a happy life." -Charlie Chaplin
"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are." Dora the Explorer
"For most of the time, you won't remember the last time you kissed the one you love. That's because you never thought it would be the last." Grey's Anatomy
"If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact - not to be solved, but to be coped with over time."
"The thing about life is that we don't know what's next. It's scary. The thought of being helpless and unprepared could be regrets or disappointments. Although what we don't know won't hurt us really, it's what we expect that usually does."
"I wonder which is worse: not knowing what's missing in your life and looking for it for the rest of your life or knowing what it is and knowing that you can never have it?"
"The best feeling in the world is realizing you're perfectly happy without the thing you thought you needed the most."
"What will you do when faced with two choices? Simple. Just toss a coin. It works, not because it settles the question for you, but while the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you're hoping for."
"Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? Alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?" -Bob Ong
"Sometimes, its not love. Sometimes, you've just become so attached that you've developed a need for that person. Just a need. Not love. But you're too scared to admit it, even to yourself. Because you know that if you do, you might lose the only person who actually gives a damn about your life."
"Just when everything is falling apart, look again. Maybe, just maybe, things are actually falling into their rightful place."
"Until one morning, I'll wake up and find I'm thinking about something else and then I'll know the worst is over. My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more. It happened before, it will happen again I'm sure. When someone leaves, its because someone is about to arrive -- I'll find love again." - Paolo Coehlo
"People always look for the best and when we finally see it, we take it for granted expecting to find a better one, not knowing it was the best."
"I want a right-wrong one. Someone I would lovingly gaze upon and whisper to myself: "She is the only problem I would like to have forever."
"When I was a little kid, I fell from a tree. But I managed to hold on to a branch. I was up there for a long time and waited. The silence, the pain in my arms, the blood pumping in my ears. Then I fell. I couldn't remember what happened when I hit the ground. All I could remember was the agony of holding on and the wonderful feeling of letting go."
"Follow your heart wherever it leads you and when you reach a dead end or whenever you get lost, use your brain to bring you back home."
"He pushed the pain away so hard, he disconnected himself from the person he loved the most." What Dreams May Come
"Everything that happens once can never happen again, but everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time." - The Alchemist
and...
"At one time in your life, the one you have loved most will, unexpectedly, turn out to be the greatest stranger you have ever met."
