An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.

Dear Heart,

Hey my dear heart... How are you? I hope you feel good as you come across this piece of my heart. As for me, so many things are running in my mind as I write this letter. So many things I have to wonder by myself. So many things that I wish you knew. So many things that I wish weren't there in the first place. How in the world did I start thinking of these things? How in the world did this feeling come to life? I don't know how it started. It just happened. You might be the culprit. It might be me. Or it might be the two of us. Or it might be destiny unfolding something for the both of us.

I wonder if you were wondering just the way as I do. I wonder if you were feeling the way as I do. I wonder if you truly meant those sweet nothings and cared for me just as much as I care for you. I wonder and that's all I can do 'coz behind this strong persona is a heart so timid just waiting for the right words to come out from you. I'm longing for the day that you make things clear and not simply leaving me in a state of confusion. It's unfair not to have the right to say all the things I would love to say to you but I never complain and continue to be there for you; that's how it should be - unconditional.

Of course, I feel you but I just want to make sure if what I think is right. If my thoughts are right, have a courageous heart and show me what's real. If you see I'm letting go, it's either you hold on to me even more and never let me go or just forget everything, worse forget me. I'm giving you the chance to choose. It might hurt to see the reality but what could be more painful is to live in a daydream.

Despite the confusion, I still hope that you were the red string tied to my little finger and it just happened that there were too many tangles to untangle. I still hope that you would not cut nor it would break. I still believe in my heart and yours. I could be strong if you just help me do so. I could stay if you allow me to do so. I could wait even if it takes forever if I know that you will always be there.

You must surely know that it has been ages since I had my last post. Well, I had my reasons but allow me to babble on that in another post. I just have to do a quick post for me to thank the people, my dear readers, for still believing in me and made my way to the nominations of #Bloggys2015 possible. To be a part of the 2,693 nominations already made me feel giddy. What's more is to continue to the next level and go through the voting stage among with other 1,025 blogs and have been published in the 2015 Hall of Fame (http://bloggys.ph/2015-hall-of-fame/). It's under the Photo Blog Nominations. Yay!

Some of you might not have any idea what #Bloggys2015 is about. It is actually a national blog awarding event in the Philippines and all blogs owned and written by Filipinos are qualified to join. The Nomination Stage started last September 1, 2015 and was wrapped up at the end of September. As of now, they are already in the Voting Stage which runs from October 5-31, 2015. For more information about this prestigious event, you may visit their site http://bloggys.ph/.

I'm not asking for more; I'm more than grateful to be even recognized and be part of the 2015 Hall of Fame but I wouldn't really mind if you do vote for me. Teehee. :)

Thank you for your continuous support to my humble blog. Don't you worry guys, I'm working on a new post and hopefully I'll have it published before this month ends. (crossing my fingers) HAHA.

To end this post, I truly appreciate the people behind this event for recognizing the passion and effort of our country's creative bloggers. And this wouldn't even be possible without the participation of our lovely netizens. Keep the love and support to your favorite bloggers! May we all stay connected as we go through our different journeys to success. :)

Follow your heart. I easily blurt out these three common words to other people when they confide to me the things that trouble the heart. But as we all know, we don't really consider what we say unless we experience the same thing as they do. Easy to say but definitely hard to do.

Follow your mind. These are the exact three words that my mother always reminds me when we talk about matters of love and the like. She always supports her words with this notion; "The mind is located above the heart which simply means that it's on the top and should be followed.". As they say, mothers know best.

If you feel afraid to change, please do not. Staying in your comfort zone is not the safest thing to do if that's what you are thinking. It's not the answer. Change is part of growing up. Just keep in mind that you must control change; do not let change control you. The latter will surely start the emotional toxins in your life and we surely don't like that to happen. Change for the better, not for the worse. Always remember that. It is one of the greatest gifts of life. It's either you use them wisely or foolishly, the choice lies in your hands. *

P.S.:

The topic is all about change because it's quite obvious that I made drastic changes in my blog. I started it dark, a bit girly and now I go for a brighter, minimalist theme. I've been planning this for a long time but I too encountered some changes in my life which made me pretty busy but (almost) everything is smooth sailing now. I still have pending tasks but I prioritized this for now because this is not just about a simple change of template but it somehow reflects my life and all the realizations I have at the moment. Break Away Version 2.0. Brighter. Bolder. Stronger. :)
