it's OK

Mer,

Even if it takes an ocean of tears just by thought of saying goodbye. Take a shot. Besides, a goodbye is never painful unless you're never going to say hello again. Let the silence be your loudest scream and let happiness flow within. Just rest for a moment. It's OK. Yes, things are crazy, yes, the world is going nuts. Yet, deep underneath the stormy waves, there, in the core of your being, there is pure silence, pure love. And ... it's ... just ... OK.

Birthday Gift

If a friendship lasts longer than 7 years, psychologists say it will last a lifetime.

It was hard to reach out to you with all the ups and downs that we have. But my desire to make you smile on your birthday swept my pride. The moment that you did not answer my call made me feel uncomfortable and hopeless. Is this really the end of our friendship?

I was delighted when you called back few seconds after missing my call. Just by that, we were back to how we were. Catching-up and talking about non-sense with no sign of any hard feelings between us.

We've known each other for almost 4 years. I hope we can give justice to what psychologists say about friendship. Reminding me of the memories that we have (even those little things that i can barely recall) is a good sign. I can't thank you enough for keeping those memories somewhere in your heart. I hope you had the happiest birthday.

A Course of Setting Boundaries

As you get older you start doing things in reverse. You start cutting people out from your life. Your Christmas list becomes practically nonexistent. You don’t need to be the first in line for everything. You take less pictures because some memories are best kept in your heart and not your hard drive. And instead of looking for love, you dig for it from within.

Message in a Bottle for a New Beginning

I hope you fall in love with someone who always calls you back and never lets you fall asleep making you feel unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who holds your hand during the scary parts of horror movies and burns cookies with you while you’re both busy dancing around the kitchen. I hope you fall in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on hard days and on easy ones. But beyond all that I hope you fall in love with someone who will never leave you behind and who will never take you for granted. Someone who will stand by you when you’re right and stand by you when you’re wrong. Someone who has seen you at your worst and loves you still. I hope you fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you when you’re cold and wouldn’t have it any other way.
