Thought Catalog: You were the sun (an excerpt)
We can be whichever constellations you like, at least in the beginning. In the beginning we’ll be all starburst and Andromeda and other striking sights that’ll inspire envy; but it won’t stay that way.
This is when the game loses its sheen.
Maybe we’ll stop communicating. I’ll grow distant; I’ll grow colder like Mars. And you’ll grow angrier, volatile like Jupiter. A mess of rock and metal and...

There comes a point wherein
All you would like is silence and a beating heart for the things you love, the things you love to do that make your identity. May I humble myself and pray for the new year.

I felt so bad that when I shared this with my sister, she didn’t react. How can you not react to something like this :(

You are the funniest!
According to Jemaima Javier, a dear friend of mine: The person I want you to date believes in big things. This person has a passion and pursues it with a hunger that could set the world on fire. This person believes in setting goals and making them happen. Nina Gonzalez PLEASE CANNOT CONTAIN MY LAUGHTER! And how much her little “horoscopes” or “requirements” whatever you...

WHY DO WE BLOG?
“Why does one begin to write? Because she feels misunderstood, I guess. Because it never comes out clearly enough when she tries to speak. Because she wants to rephrase the world, to take it in and give it back again differently, so that everything is used and nothing is lost.” – Nicole Krauss

What He Believes He Sees
“You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun -and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist - that today is the same as yesterday and will be...

There were definitely worse Christmases, those I can’t even bear to remember, as they aren’t worth remembering. And there might be worse ones to come. But I’m thankful still. Merry merry Christmas to all. :)

Terence Malick’s film, Tree of Life. Yes, that’s the one we’re watching right now. And my brother, and uncle questioned the sense of having to go through all of those stills of the heavens and the earth and its creation in relation to a death. I could imagine why the director had wanted it to be so… Certain things in life touch us so much, it pulls us to the very core of...

Life’s too short, so let’s not complicate it. (: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” - Oscar Wilde & when I’m handed heartbreak, and someone slips hatred and war under my doorstep and I am left on the street corners of cynicism and defeat, this is my anthem, “But they told me: A man should be faithful, and walk when not able,...
