"In a sea of people,
my eyes will always search for you."

A new year,
An age older.

To new beginnings,
And great endings.

The snow melts,
And winter ends.

Spring breathes in,
And all the bees be buzzin'.

So untie the knots that came with yesterday,
And plunge forward into thee unknown.

Assume that life would be brilliant,
As this is the start of something new.

If I had a flower
for every time  I thought of you ,
I could walk in  my own garden forever.
And that would be amazing, wouldnt it?
It indeed, would be.

Life is so delicate,
Delicate to such as a flower,
Endowing it's beauty to others,
that they may understand the truth,
that there is no such thing as a dull life,
but truly, colorfully made as
delicate as can be for you and me.

I'm sorry if it's the wrong time of the year,
to be told that,
I'm sorry if you heard it first from others ,
rather than my own mouth,
I'm sorry to put you in  a rather awkward,
situation,
I'm sorry that you don't feel the same way.

But don't worry,
I'll be fine.
Always have been, always will be.

I'm pretty sure you're long gone now.
You've probably tried pushing me away,
Because truth is, I'm avoiding you too.
Cause the pain I see in you is  unbearable,
like an empty void.

I wish things could just stay the same,
stay  simple,
But then I  messed it up,
and made decisions
based on my cluttered heart.

So, with these, I'm sorry.

A girl will always be;
a half formed thing,
a half formed heart,
a half formed flame,
because
like all things;
we grow,
we love,
we burn.

There are only two significant places,
where hellos and goodbyes ought to play their roles.

It's where lovers depart from each other,
It's where a decorated soldier from war is welcomed,
It's where a foreign student on visa says goodbye to a country she beloved,
It's where the gypsy soul says hello to an unknown part
of the world.

It's where the comatose patient has awoken,
It's where the old is removed to make way for the new,
It's where babies are brought to the world with a cry of a new life,
It's where miracles happen once in a while,
It's where a heart transplant says hello to a whole new host,
It's where the DNR is signed.

Today was a sad day for me,
I told everything that had happened today,
to you by text,
I miss you so much, so badly, I need you now,
I heard a knock and
I came running downstairs,
And there you are,
My door has a see through window,
I could see your face,
And your bag,
That I know is filled with a night's clothes of change,
Your face tired,
Beaming with a smile,
And I'm already so glad to see you here,
We glared for a moment,
Stagnant,
Not moving,
And I came running to the door,
Swinging it open,
leaping towards you,
As you come catching me
at the middle of the night.

Sometimes,
I prefer to be alone,
To be in solitude.

Dont get me wrong,
Its not that I hate the prospect of socializing,
It's just that; being alone,
Comes with less baggage,
Less mess,
And it uncomplicates my life.

I love being alone,
By myself,
Strolling the park with no other than your own company,
Besides, being solitude is where creativity creeps in.

Anthropology teaches us that alpha male;
is the one that is wearing the crown,
displaying the colorful plumage,
shiniest bubbles,
stands out from the others,
but I may have now realize that anthropology may have it wrong,
I've come to realize that;
the quiet man,
the invisible man,
the man that is always there for friends and family,
that's the real alpha male.

Like the homemade batter,
When bake under constant fire,
We become a muffin.

During a seminar, a woman asked," How do I know if I am with the right person?"

The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind
replied the author.

Here's the answer.

Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you
fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls,
want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet."Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you
may begin to desire that experience with someone
else. This is when relationships breakdown.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.

People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.

Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later.

Because (listen carefully to this):

The key to succeeding in a Relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the Person you found.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know
WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), Just as there are physical laws Of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.

Love is therefore a "decision". Not just a feeling.

Remember this always: God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let GO!

I find it wonderful,
that everyday,
you get to make a better tomorrow
from the yesterday's we make.
So look forward,
we heads held up high.
Because make tomorrow a great one.
Amen!!

He was a nobody,
He had nothing to offer,
But one day,
On my way home from work,
He took me by surprise,
A written cardboard hung in the air,
were the words " You look nice today." ,
And I smiled.

It's 4 weeks more to Finals,
and I'm not ready.
It's a few more days to go to practical exam,
and I've not covered all the rocks in the lab.
It's a few more days to go to my physics quiz,
and I'm not prepared.

Assignments dued,
Lab report to be typed,
Presentation for the taking,
unsorted,dangling of proposals,

But then I remember how far I've come,
I've decided to give it one last best shot,
Because you'll never be able to take back
your semester.
It will eventually pass.

I want to look back and
realize ive done my best.
so no regrets.

The love I once had for you, never went away.
I still remembered all the feelings I had;
The butterflies in my stomach when you walked by,
The awkward smiles when our eyes met,
The dreamy enchanted stares that happen as I gush about you to my friends,
The detail of your face, your skin, your touch, your lips.
The way you dribbled the ball across the court, so strong, so light, so flawless,
The way you read a book so intensely when we were 12,
The moment your hand move swiftly yet ferociously when playing chess,
The day you looked at me for the first time and smiled,
But after all these years and now we're 20,
You still dont really know me,
You still dont know who I am,
Just my name,
A name that pops by every 25th of December in your phone,
Sometimes I wonder what goes through your mind when you see my name.

Are you blind that you don't see what's in front of you?
Look carefully.
Don't you see that beautiful person right next to you?
Maybe, she's not pretty enough.
Maybe, she's got some pimple over her face.
Maybe, she doesn't have a great body.
Maybe, she's  not even hot.
Maybe, she does'nt go party.
Maybe, she love's being alone sometimes.
Maybe, she's hard to figure out.
Maybe, she loves laughing too hard.
But is that what truly counts in a girl?
Because beauty facades.
Skills fade.
Youth turns old.
Wild party cats last fooorever.
So, ponder.

Think. Because the choices are in your hands. Decide.
Because one day, that person right next to you, you call friend. Might be gone and it's too late.
She might also be the best of you.

When you're broken and down,
Just remember that;
Broken crayons still color.

I hope you find something that changes the entire notion of what it means to be human.

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you dont

"I always make a living so, that I can make movies. I never make movies to try to make a living. I think that's a big mistake that new comers do. They always focus on how can my passion, pay me. And I think that's a terrible place to start. If the reason why you're doing anything creative is to make a living then I think you're doing it wrong. You get into it because it's a true passion , it's something you really believe in  or don't get into it at all."

Settle down with me,
Cover me up,
Cuddle me in,
Lie down with me,
Hold me in your arms.

Embrace the glorious mess that you are.

" Collectively, we have the power to improve the world more than any other generations have done for us."

"I was born with a reading list I will never finish."

"I will speak my mind."

Calm your mind,
Change the world.

-tc.

Be unstoppable.
Be so good they can't ignore you.
Be a woman on fire with passion that glows in your eye.
Work hard and don't give up.
Be kind and exquisite.
Be anything but, ordinary.
Be goal oriented and know what you want.
Don't let any man validate your existence.
You are beautiful so, feel beautiful.
Don't let anyone get into your head.
You are you.
And no one can ever replace you.
So stay you but, always make time for personal growth.
Cause that's how you grow.

Dear girls,

We like you for your brains,
not your body.

Sincerely,
Zombies.

-tc.

Dear mom,
I know you had it hard in life,
I can see it in your eyes,
I can see it in your veins that wraps around your arm.
Your words are gentle like the wind,
Ever lasting in my thoughts.

You grip my hand when we cross roads,
You still lecture me about life,
You keep me in your prayers,
Your homecook meals' aroma lingers in my bedroom.

I hope you know how much I love you,
Because its truer than true,
I hope the sun shines where ever you go.

Sometimes I wonder what the person;
I will spend the rest of my life with,
my soulmate,
is doing at that very moment.

What are they like?
Where do they live?
When will I meet them?
How old are they?
Who do they hangout with?
What do they look like?
Are they happy?

And in these moments I can understand the magnitude of fate.

A dog can never tell you what she knows from the smells of the world,
but you know,
watching her,
that you know almost nothing.

-tc.

You are beautiful just the way you are,
uniquely created,
differently distinct,
an exquisite creature,
an amazing soul that has touch many.

Don't do implants,
Don't do botox,
Don't do plastic surgery,
Don't change who you are.

And if you were to ask me,
if you were beautiful,
I would tell you;
Every girl is beautiful,
Sometimes it just takes the right man to see it,
And you are beautiful more than words can speak.

There was a girl,
a beautiful girl surrounded by people,
yet utterly alone,
her brother Chris died sophomore year,
she spend all her time secluded with her family or in the comfort of books,
I watch her for all of high school,
waiting for that perfect  moment to talk to her but then
that moment never came,
I watch as people gradually forget about her
and she seems content to disappear
but not to me
and although she didnt know it,
I saw the possibility of us.

People do not decide to become extraordinary,
They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.

-tc.

If I fall for you, would you  fall too?

Whenever I fall for someone,
I'll always ask myself; why?

And it get's me to a point,
where my mind gets blank,
like an empty canvas,
waiting to be painted.

I guess you could say that,
I'm the weaker ones.

The weaker ones that falls for the little
things you do,
you know,
those little minute details,

like opening the door
when books are up to my arm,
like walking me to my car
when it's midnight,
and let's me walk first
just because I'm a lady.

I know it sounds cliche,
in a way, you may not understand.
But coming from a girl,
always standing at the sideline,
getting passed by
like rocks along the side walk.

It probably means a lot.
It probably makes her feel like a million bugs.
Or in another lay mans term, "happy".
It makes her feel "happy".

Perhaps the reasons to why I fall for you,
maybe vague,
perhaps even cliche,
but it is the truth, an undeniable truth.
And I hope you will understand it one day.
Or perhaps someday.

Dont fail me now; feet,
Bring me to the finishing line.
And that's when we'll celebrate.

-tc.

I would rather fight with you than love someone else

Time Flies,
Time wait for no man,
Time heals all wounds,
All any of us wants is more time,
Time to stand up,
Time to grow up,
Time to let go.
Time.

One day,
you will learn
how to give and receive love
like an open window
and it will feel like
summer everyday.

Bring me my bow of burning gold,
Bring me my arrows of desire,
Bring me my spear,
O'clouds, unfold,
Bring me my Chariot of fire.

Looking back at high school,
It was not a happy time,
People didn't seem to like me,
High school ***** for anybody;
That was different.

But you have to get through high school,
But then there's college,
But there, in the real world,
You'll find where you fit in,
Some place you call home,
Some friends you call family.

I'm staring at you,
behind your back,

My hands touching yours,
trembling,
quivering,
as it glides across yours,
when we're carrying the speakers from my car,

I look across the hall,
and there you are,
making me want you more and more.

I've never met a guy like you before.
You're everything I wanted
but, you shoot for the stars,
never looking back.

And there I was left aside , left staring, left caring.
Without a clue in the world, that maybe you've overlooked me.
I'm the girl you'll look at once
but, never twice.

I don't accept help well,
I was raised to hold my own.

When home isn't;
a place,
but a person,
that's true love.

-tc.

I'm hurting, but tears wont roll down.

Dating should'nt end just because you said " I do",
Dating is a timeline of learning someone in a special way,
Why would'nt you want that to ever stop?
It should'nt.

She said:
"Why don't we just go back to the way things were?"
" We'll hang out and have fun and pretend that nothing's change."

He said:
"I can't do that."

She said:
"Why not?"

He said:*
" Because I love you"

You're half away across the sea,
And I long to talk to you.
You're my other half,
You're my jigsaw to my puzzle,
You're my fork to my knife,
You're my person.

I miss those long strolls we take,
when we get a heartbreak.
I miss those sky gazing we do,
when it's just two.
I miss those piggy back ride,
on a sunny day,

I cant wait to run to your arms,
with arms wide open,
to feel your hug
and your warm embrace.

As your arms grip my waist,
and I'm tip-toing,
I run my fingers through your hair,
I miss you.
I miss us.
