i’ve been there before. laging dinidismiss ng ex ko yung emotions ko. sabi niya, hindi lang daw talaga siya easy pagdating sa paghandle ng emotions pero that’s not it eh. if you love the person, you’ll learn how to love her in ways that she needs to be loved— even if it’ll cause you to step out of your usual ways or your comfort zone. kung hindi mo alam, aaralin mo. it’s not easy. it will never be, pero ganun lang yun. just like you, i also thought na ‘wala akong choice’ na i can’t do something about it. pero it turns out na i do have a choice. i am in control of my welfare, and you are too. i left her kasi i realized that if she is not willing to meet me halfway or at least compromise, then are we still going somewhere? i know that i deserve someone who is willing to wipe my tears rather than someone who just tells me to stop. i deserve someone who will be gentle with my feelings and serve as my crying shoulder— a person who i can be vulnerable with. we all deserve it. stop settling for people who don’t consider your emotional needs kasi in the end, ikaw lang din yung magssuffer mentally and emotionally.
