the most HEARTBREAKING text messages i have read … (series 4)

HANKY 31

Too many lies can weaken one’s trust…

Too much betrayal can cause a person to be afraid

And the sad truth is …

Too much pain felt by a loving heart can cause it to freeze

Till it goes numb by the never ending pain…

Until it doesn’t feel any love… anymore. (Sad but true)

HANKY 32

To love someone doesn’t mean to commit with that person.

Sometimes you just have to be satisfied with whatever connection you have with that special one.

HANKY 33

Isn’t it sad when you are so much in love right now,

but you cant freely let it out?

And your so DAMN scared to show it to all cause of one reason?

IT’S COMPLICATED

(gawd, this hits me right on my noggin – AJ)

HANKY 34

Are we really hurt because

we can’t tell the person we love what we really feel?

Or are we hurt because at the back of our minds

we know that telling the object of our affection what we really feel won’t make any difference

(now, I’m starting to cry…- AJ)

HANKY 35

People must try to be sensitive…cause not everyone is strong enough to endure pain.

After all there’s no anesthesia for a broken heart

HANKY 36

What makes us a fool???

When it hurt us to the core seeing the one you love with somebody else,

but still, you keep on staring.

HANKY 37

UNCERTAINTY is the biggest torture in love.

You feel jealous yet you can’t complain.

You can get hurt yet you can’t show it.

You can love with your all yet you cant say it.

All you can do is watch,

keep the pain, enjoy, the smiles, hugs and kisses then show much that person means to you

HANKY 38

The love you cant have….

Last as the longest

Feels the strongest

And hurts the MOST.

HANKY 39

They asked ‘how does it feel to love someone who love someone else?’

After a deep breath, he answered; ‘its like hugging a cactus, the tighter you embrace, the more it hurts’

HANKY 40

We keep on sticking to who we like, that’s why we never notice those who like us.

Sometimes were dying for someone who doesn’t care, while somebody’s already dead trying to please us…

the most HEARTBREAKING text messages i have read … (series 3)

hello dear readers… here we go again as i list down ten new HEARTBREAKING messages that ihave collected in my mobile.  make sure you wipe those tears after…

HANKY 21:

Di ko na siya nahintay kasi napapagod na ko.

Ayoko nang masaktan kaya di ako aasa.

Ill try to move on pero babagalan ko para kung sakali magbago ang tibok ng puso nya…para mahabol pa niya ako.

HANKY 22:

It’s hard when you don’t know what causes your sadness.

But it’s even harder when you know what makes you sad…

but cant do anything about it

HANKY 23:

They say expecting is one way of hurting yourself but what if you have a reason expect?

Expecting doesn’t hurt you…assuming does.

HANKY 24:

Sometimes it’s scary to love a person with all of your heart & soul

and give them everything they want

because maybe someday…they’ll just leave you without any explanations

HANKY 25:

I guess to have you will never be and that I have to accept, even if it hurts me

but there’s one thing ill ask from you and hope you’ll grant it too,

will you let me love you ‘till I get over you?’

HANKY 26:

The greatest battle ever fought by anyone is the battle of love that cannot be yours…

no matter how strong your shield or how sharp your sword is, the bleeding cannot be prevented and the hurt will never be concealed…

For the wound of the heart will forever leave a scar that will remind you of a battle you never won.

HANKY 27:

Sometimes it’s much better for us to care than to love.

Cause when you care, you’re safe from losing the person you care for.

But when you love, you can lose everything you’re scared of losing.

HANKY 28:

I have always been a good person

I have followed all the rules throughout my existence.

A cheating heart has left a void in me which is hard to close.

Now I live my life carelessly, hurting people along the way…

all this because I used to believe that someone will love me faithfully…

I lived a lie and paid the price…now the world has to suffer because of me

HANKY 29:

NEVER break four things in your life:

1. trust
2. promise
3. relationship
4. heart

because when they break…

they dont make noise but they hurt a lot

HANKY 30:

when someone cheated on you, there’s only two questions that you can ask them

‘Did you forget that you are committed?

Or you remember, but you just didn’t care?

the most HEARTBREAKING text messages i have read … (series 2)

surely … i wont bother you with long intro but rather give you what youve been waiting for.  heres another bathch of 10 text messages that will surely make you cry…

HANKY 11:

What is loneliness?

It’s when you’re looking for comfort and you hold your own hand.

HANKY 12:

Sometimes no matter how long or hard you love someone.

They’ll never love you back the way you do and sometimes, you have to be OK with that.

HANKY 13:

TWO of the hardest tests in life: the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept that you’ve waited for nothing

HANKY 14:

There is still a romantic element in knowing that I love someone but I am choosing to do the right thing by staying … silent

HANKY 15:

It’s really hard to show everybody how you feel.

Scared of letting them know what’s bothering you…

Sometimes lying would be an excellent remedy to overshadow the tears from your eyes

You hide the pain by smiling

You hide the tears by laughing and

You hide the sadness by lying

And sometimes you just want to trade your life just to experience a minute of happiness that will really change everything….

But that’s what makes it ironic, the more you seek for happiness … the more you lose it.

HANKY 16:

Fixing someone’s broken heart is much more like treating a disease.

No matter how hard you try, if youre not the right medicine, you can never cure the pain

HANKY 17:

Why people don’t believe in second chance?

It’s not because they don’t know how to forgive…

But it’s because second chance can also mean feeling the same excruciating pain for the second time.

HANKY 18:

I’m destined to be in sorrow

Blinded by love longing for affection

Reaching for the stars

Begging for smiles

Wrapped by illusions

Imagining kisses

Dreaming for touches

Hiding pain and anger eaten by frustrations

BUT STILL…

Waiting for the someone who will dig me from the mood I am in.

HANKY 19:

If a bird fell in love with a fish, where would they live?

Who keeps the fins and who loses its wings?

It’s an irony but that’s how cruel yet poetic love can be…

HANKY 20:

The SADDEST thing about having a TEDDY BEAR is

that no matter how tight you hug it…

It will NEVER HUG YOU BACK.

the ART of letting go (part 2)

heres the second series of the ‘THE ART OF LETTING GO’.  thank you readers for your great comments. enjoy the post!

MANTRA 11

Do NOT count what you lost.

Instead cherish what you have and plan what to gain.

The past never returns but the future may fulfill the loss.

MANTRA 12

LAW OF UNATTACHMENT:

Don’t cling to anything that needs to go.

Everything in this world is not permanent.

You just have to love it while you have it

MANTRA 13

Being a quitter doesn’t mean that you are a looser.

Every time you quit doesn’t mean you are giving up.

It only means that you have to let go of what you think is unfair.

MANTRA 14

When you love, never stick only to what your heart feels.

Remember that sometimes, your brain is a necessity.

Next, never use your eyes to cry for the person who hurt you.  Instead use it to search for the right one.

Lastly, don’t be scared breaking up.  Keeping a relationship without love is just a waste of time.

Take note, love the one who will fight for you and bravely face each and every consequence.  Someone you can call ‘mine’ rather than ‘ideal’.

MANTRA 15

Don’t overuse your heart trying to love the one you think who loves you too. You should save the best part for the person who deserves you and deserves to be loved by you

MANTRA 16

You are the only person responsible for your happiness.

Don’t depend on someone else to experience it for you

MANTRA 17

Sometimes, you just have to put a period on something that has to end and not just settle on a comma….

WHY?

CAUSE TIME WILL COME… you’ll realize that its nicer to see a complete sentence, rather than seeing a phrase, that DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE

MANTRA 18

NEVER BEG PEOPLE TO STAY AGAINST THEIR WILL…

Sometimes the gift of goodbye opens up another door.  Move on but don’t move away.

MANTRA 19

If we dwell too much on the past, we pass up the chance to change and grow.

Whether we like it or not, it takes an extra effort to allow changes in our lives.

We have to make choices.

We have to make space.

We have to let things go.

We have to let things change

MANTRA 20

When you stumble, pick yourself up!

Never wait for someone to pick and get you back to life.

After all, you were born alone, single and strong.

coffee, love and a rainy friday morning

It’s a drizzly Friday morning.

 

As I hold a cup of hot coffee and snuggle with my computer, a text message were received…

 

To laugh is to risk appearing foolish

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out for another is to risk involvement.

To expose feelings is to risk exposing true self.

To place ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule.

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To live is to risk dying.

To hope is to risk despair.

To try is to risk failure.

 

 

The person who risks nothing…

Does nothing…

Has nothing…

And ultimately becomes nothing.

 

I can’t help but wonder… do we have to risk a part of us on an everyday basis?

 

In business, you invest.  In a poker game, you risk your money and in love …you risk that someone will jump over your heart.

 

I guess, in battle of love and roses, no one gets out of the fight without a single bruise or a chip in his shoulder.  If love could leave a battle scar, I would have shown you my whole body full of emotional scars that love brings.

 

As of the moment…i’m just happy to be single. 

 

Love… it has always been there but id rather not say to the object of my affection for I am not ready to enter the battle grounds.

the art of letting go (part 1)

one of the painful tragedies in life is the so called

‘break up’, matched by the most awful medicine prescribed by heart doctors – ‘letting go’.

I should know since I’ve seen both sides of the coin and without the help of friends and comrades, I may have been writing this blog in a loony bin.  As time passes, i have collected some quotable quotes or text messages which I would like to share.  Believe me, it might sound corny but these messages may be able to brighten up your cloudy sky.  Read along….

MANTRA 1:

If love becomes painful…

Its time to let that love go and save yourself

You got to keep this in mind ‘you’ll be able to find another love but not another self’

MANTRA 2:

In life you will realize that the people you meet have a purpose.

Some were put there to test you…

some would use you (and I learned this the hard way…jeeezzz)

some would teach you

some would bring out the better if not the best in you.

Some may even cause you pain and heartache

BUT one must learn to move on…

so let go of the people who can’t treat you right and hold on to those who love your back and see your worth.

MANTRA 3:

You can never find rest until you finally let go of the hatred that fits your heart

MANTRA 4:

‘I’m starting to learn.

You can’t make someone love you.

You can’t make someone be faithful to you.

You can’t control your own faith sometimes.

Things happen: good, bad, indifferent.

You just have to let some things go and hope for the best

MANTRA 5:

Love… is neither about judging nor being a perfectionist.

Love… is about accepting, understanding and self sacrificing and most of all,

Love… is supposed to make you happy, dear….

not stupid!

MANTRA 6:

The best part of being in love is when you just love a person and be happy about it.

Even if that person can never be yours, even if you know that it can lasts forever!

That’s the true essence of love.

It’s not about winning someone.

It’s not about owning a relationship.

It’s just about being happy because you know you’ve loved someone.

It’s about being guiltless because you know you didn’t take away someone from anybody.

You just love and love unselfishly.

MANTRA 7:

If an angel and devil were to fall in love with each other…

Can there be love with each other?

Can their love transcend the law of heaven and hell?

Can the angel set her wings on fire?

Can the devil soar at the day light?

This is faith’s decree

MANTRA 8:

Love can’t change what aren’t meant to be

MANTRA 9:

Kapag niloloko ka na at madalas pinagmumukha kang tanga at bukod sayo ay meron pang iba?

Kahit mahal mo siya dapat ng iwan.

Stop torturing yourself dahil wala pang medalya para sa TANGA!

MANTRA 10:

It doesn’t make you less of  a person if you don’t belong to somebody, but don’t get so caught up and stick with someone and fail to get to know  and meet others.

You don’t need to have them to feel good about yourself.

the most HEARTBREAKING messages I have read…

The greatest battle ever fought by anyone, from any walks of life is ‘the fight for love’. There has always been someone who is bound to cry and shed a tear or two.  I should know, because i know how a tear taste like.

i could still remember how i kept on reading all his text messages; carefully hidden in my mobile as i digest each words.  His pledge of love and other corny stuff that even Big Bird will hurl because of its cheesinessssss.

Attempted to call him but never had the courage to press thy keypad.  hmmmm those were the days.  But anyway, here are some text messages i have collected that will surely break your heart as well.  Enjoy!

HANKY 1: ‘If pain must come, may it come quickly, because I have a life to live and I need to live it in the best way possible.  If he has to make a choice, may he make it now, then I will either wait for him or forget him…waiting is painful.  Forgetting is painful but not knowing which to do is worst kind of suffering’ – Paulo Coelho.

HANKY 2:

its so hard pretending to be friends with someone special.

When every time you look at that person, it just hurts even more.

Knowing that all you see is

ultimately everything that you want but you cant have

HANKY 3:

‘it is right butterfly? They like you better framed and dried’ – Tori Amos

HANKY 4:

sometimes in our life, we play with love…

but when the time comes and you finally realize that you want to get serious…

love plays with you.

HANKY 5:

kala ko dati once you give-up, tapos na.

Yun pala umpisa pa lang!  bakit mahirap sabihin ang totoo?

Bakit kailangan magpanggap kahit na mahirap?

Ganon siguro ang tao, totoo sa nararamdaman pero sinungaling na pag nasaktan.

HANKY 6:

What’s the difference between ‘I moved on’ and ‘I forgot you already’?

Wanna know? When you say ‘I forgot you already’ you totally accepted the fact that the person you used to call ‘mine’ is not anymore yours

but when you say ‘I moved on’ – you just realized that its over!  But the feelings still there, you just ignore it.

HANKY 7:

A devil love this angel but the angel didn’t mind.

One day the devil got sick and was about to die.

Then the angel asked, ‘why are you living me?’

The devil answered, ‘so I can be your angel and love you forever!’

(ultimate sacrifice – A.J.)

HANKY 8:

people see me as a strong, happy and blessed person…

but behind those smiles,

they just don’t know how much im in pain and almost ‘broken’.

HANKY 9:

Love not too much, but real.

Prepare to get hurt , but don’t complain.

Love is not being happy all the time,

feel free to cry for a while but love like you’ve never lost your smile.

HANKY 10:

A sparrow is in love with a white rose.

One day the bird proposed to the rose…the white rose told him that when he turns red that’s the only time shell love him.

Then, the sparrow cut his body and spread his blood on the rose.

The rose turned red and fell in love with the sparrow but the sparrow is no longer alive.

LOVE…sometimes sacrifices are useless…especially if that someone doesn’t know how to appreciate.

They’ll come to realized that important things when its already too late.
