Unrequited Love
Alexie Quinto Aug 2017
I was the one who loved you with passion more than you imagine, more than you could ever fathom. A love we shared that I never did see the reality perhaps I was blinded with the ideal of you and my fantasies. And when you hold me tightly and I intertwined my hands with thee, the feeling was between constantly longing for  the possibilities and asking to be free from the skepticism.

You told me those three words, those three words that should have felt like home to me yet I see the uncertainty between your eyes and realized those words weren't meant for me. I know you tried but failed to see the possibility of having an 'us'. You decided to let me go because you don't want us to keep on running to each other and holding on to something that wasn't even real.

But if you ask me if I have regrets in loving you, I would honestly tell you I didn't regret it all because somehow, you needed nothing to draw my eyes because you precisely are you and I chose to love you without wanting it in return. I love you straightforwardly, and I have always been.

Happiness
Alexie Quinto May 2017
"How to be truly happy?"

1. Do the things that can make you feel happy

  - Even the smallest thing counts. If you're into video games, sports, writing or traveling you should go and do it right now. No one can stop you from doing anything that makes you feel happy but remember, you should always be aware of making your own decisions, choosing happiness is a good choice but everything has it's own limitations.

2. open-up things

   - It's ALWAYS better to open-up things to your parents, siblings, best-friend, or someone who you think can be trusted. I know it's not very easy for you to share your problems and say what's bothering you at this moment but trust me, once you open-up things to someone, you'll feel relieve and it can lessen the pain you're feeling.

  3. Learn how to say no sometimes

    - I've always been in a situation that I let other people abuse my kindness to get what they want. They don't care about somebody else's feelings and to be honest, IT'S SO TERRIBLE. But now, I'm here to advice you that it's okay to say no sometimes especially when you're in a state of being abused and if he/she is not treating you in a nice way.

4. Have a time for yourself

  - turn off your phone, laptop, or anything that has to do with social media and internet even just for a day. Try something new or different to refresh your mind. Drink some coffee or a tea and relax yourself from overthinking.

5. Learn not to care on what might people say to you

   - Don't be affected and sensitive. I had an experience before that whenever some people are throwing bad things about me, I easily get affected. Perhaps, you cannot please everyone, not all the people will like you and you just have to accept it. Don't mind what they think about you, just be yourself and be happy.

6. Learn how to let go, move on

    - You have to let go of something that can make you feel bad about yourself. Forget those tattered memories, start a new beginning and make some good memories. Life is short, don't waste your time stressing yourself from the things that already happened. Move on and get over it.

7. Acceptance

    - "Acceptance is the key to happiness"
The only way to be completely happy is Acceptance. Holding on to something that wasn't even worth to hold is a bad decision, right? So why keep on holding onto it if it's the reason why you're miserable and unhappy?

"You know you gotta decide when you're a writer? ... Which stories to tie up at the ending and which ones you have to let go" – 99 days, Katie Cotugno

Failure
Alexie Quinto May 2017
Have you ever work hard for something but it ended up into such disappointments? It's completely devastating to witness how we experience these kind of situations in life. It takes a long time to gather our courage, to risk some things that we're afraid to, and by being reliant, we can't face our own fears nor obstacles. In every decisions that we make, there will always be a deflection that we didn't expect would happen.

We say that our efforts are enough to get what we want but sometimes, it's certainly a trial, testing on how strong we are to get what we desire the most. As we see various aspects, wise people think on a plan on how they can achieve their goals so easily without no effort. Hard working people take a lot of ways on how to accomplish things surely. Enough is only for implicit people. They believe that enough is enough and it will only cause us more pain and damage if we try to push it more.

We must learn to embrace different concepts or ways of life with full of sincerity. Not all that we yearn for will be ours and not all that we work for will be enough. Satisfaction that we needed to have is not only for the ones who need it but the ones who deserve to be given. Some people rely on fate and predictions but who wouldn't know that as we patiently wait for it to come, the more time will be wasted. If the world is giving you hundreds of responsibilities, return them infinite ways to handle them all

Regretful Things
Alexie Quinto Jul 2017
We've never got to see in a clearer vision
A concept of growing up and making life decisions
The Marks of fault that often leave scars
Full of guilt, contemplating behind bars

Being afraid is what we bring on as an excuse
The excuse people have endlessly been used
But our choices in life make us who we are
today
They form every detail of our reflection in a way

Remain in a constant state of regretting but learning
Don't hold on to the past for the sake of holding on
Be a reflection, start a new beginning
Save everything before it's completely gone

Never degrade but embrace your flaws
Find yourself and make a probable cause
In the end, we have the inevitable regrets
The chances we unable to take and get

— The End —
