YOU START DYING ... SLOWLY 🍂

Pablo Neruda, Spanish poet,

Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

His Poem: "You start dying slowly"

You start dying slowly;

if you do not travel,

if you do not read,

If you do not listen to the sounds of life,

If you do not appreciate yourself,

You start dying slowly;

When you kill your self-esteem,

When you do not let others help you,

You start dying slowly;

If you become a slave of your habits,

Walking every day on the same paths,

If you do not change your routine,

If you do not wear different colors,

Or you do not speak to those you don’t know,

You start dying slowly;

If you avoid to feel the passion

And their turbulent emotions;

Those which make your eyes glisten,

And your heartbeat fast,

You start dying slowly;

If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,

If you do not go after a dream,

If you do not allow yourself,

At least once in your lifetime,

To run away,

You start dying - Slowly...! 🍂

Bakit Sya?

"Bakit siya?" "Kasi alam niya yung ingay kung bakit ako tahimik". Matagpuan mo rin sana ang taong handa kang makabisa sa sandaling hindi ka naiintindihan ng iba.

Dahil madaling makakita ng taong kaya kang sabihan nang paulit-ulit ng 'mahal kita' Ngunit ang makatagpo ng taong kabisado at uunawa sa iyo talaga— mahirap nang makakilala.

Stay

I hope you find the courage to step away from the things that aren't good for you. I hope you find the strength to let go of the person who feels like "the one" but doesn't work out for you, all along. I hope you find the will to throw away all your what-ifs from the open doors that could lead you to a wrong path. I hope you find peace in accepting that "just because it's beautiful, doesn't mean it's meant for you." And in the end, I hope you still believe that your heart, your feet, and your dreams will eventually find a place where they truly belong.

My Inner Self 🩷

The truth is that people believe they know you, that you're okay or that you're in a position where you're proud of yourself and optimistic about how things are going for you. They believe you're fine because they interpret things based on their perception and connect certain facts they believe they are comfortable with to paint a picture of you based on their vision, unaware that this is all an illusion. Because you are aware of how exhausted you are from having so many thoughts racing through your head, you are weary of showing empathy, you are tired of being the one who understands, and you are tired of the weight you are carrying inside your chest so you only divert on particular things in order to survive. And if you make just one error, all the good things you accomplished in the past is lost forever. Let people misunderstood you Allow people to perceive you negatively and incorrectly. You're living this life to be authentic and not to develop into a perso...
