AXKANE VII

"The pain of regret resists the pain of discipline. I've always chosen discipline. Though I longed for you awhile, I must prioritize in life. To pursue you now is selfish. I cannot afford to love you in full when others will suffer if I do."

I let go of you not because I wanted you the least, but because I wanted you the most. To pursue you now, with all my burdens, is an irresponsibility.

I think the greatest pain in life is choosing to let go of the person you would've had.

Relief pervades my heart upon waking up to sobriety—without infatuation over the person I had once fallen for.

If we love each other so much, let's trade surnames. (*insert your name* ✨Tajanlangit✨) (✨Alanna✨ *insert your surname*)

No man makes one feel safer than a woman.

Strength is knowing you bear the power, but wisely wield it.

A daughter's loyalty is great. No man in this world resembles her father.

Grief is like experiencing the last two episodes of your favourite series. It has drastically changed, but you do not wish for it to end. You hope that things return to how it was despite knowing it will not.

I'd fancy making you forget you hate women.

You are in a forest. It is past sunset. You call for your companion to return. A pack of wolves surround you. The others fled. The one person you trusted the most is gone. How it felt, simply put.

Let's address this: Being a mean girl doesn't make you badass—it makes you a bully. Makes you uglier. Not cool. Not hot. Stop. Toxicity is getting rampant in women. Let's not normalize shitty behavior.

A woman who undermines a man is repulsive.

If there is such a love that is innocent and unlatched, childlike and sincere, then such a love will save me. And if such a love is inexistent, then I would rather die lonely.

Once you accept that the situation's severity is far more grave than you surmised, you will refuse the paltry aspects of teenage life. No fun for me. Discipline will contain my rage. And my rage will sustain my focus.

Before he passed, he left me with vows to keep: 1. Stay away from boys 2. Keep your cool. The first will be kept and the latter will not.

Those without great suffering will never understand the rage of those with it.

I may be the misfit, but at least I don't conform. You're half-hearted—claiming to satisfy your soul, while in truth, are frightened to displease society…or your filthy boy.

The less egotistical I am, the more egotistical they are.

Please don't tell me I have a certain type. I beg to differ

I be thinking about changing the world yesterday and be sulking over my previous crush today.

Going through your playlist reminds me of the previous one…and the one before. I'll deny; I don't have a type.

Being valued is better than being liked. Words don't compensate for the absence of proof. You like her? Then probe her soul.

I almost liked the idea of falling in love—that is until I remembered my sisters and their boyfriends. Nah. Nvm. Cancel subscription.

Thou shall not have your ego exuviated by mere mortals.

It is good to be alone.

As much as you would want to be the one they want, it is better to be the one they cannot have. Do not fool yourself. Do not presume. If someone wants you, they will say and show it. I've done such myself. I have confessed and shown. If they want you as much, they will do the same.

I can't marry the most astounding man; I already know that. I will raise him instead. My son will make everyone feel the safest. Someone everyone can rely on. He will mostly be like me. I'll make sure of it.

I have been there. I'm stronger now. When I feel ashamed after liking someone too much, I no longer run away. I hold my position, stand my ground, and accept my fate. That's bravery.

And the vast difference between him and I: I am no coward.

What makes you worthy?

You gotta be hot enough to break my heart

It's good to bring different courses on the table to determine which one suits the taste buds best.

Players are just former second-leads. Be a game-changer. Help the second-leads move on and play the players.

There is no such thing as right person wrong time. Move on. They weren't meant to be yours, anyway.

My favourite fighters died on December 26th. Am I gonna die on that day, too?

Greed. The strength of shame. The lack of gratitude. Take it away from me Lord. Take it all.

Stupid social media. An illusory invention to disrupt peace and the famine of the rest of the world. Modern depression? What about starvation? Those with the crappiest lives still have the GUTS TO LIVE.

I take pride in affirming that I've never been a bad friend. When it comes to friendship, I am good. From my Tatay's origin :)

I shirk romantic love for I find it to be immensely tragic. Only those strong enough can endure the pain. But I find that regret hurts more than love itself.
