I used to be afraid of so many things, that I'd never grow up, that I'd be trapped in the same place for all eternity, that my dreams would forever be shy of my reach, it's true what they say, time plays tricks on you. One day you’re dreaming the next your dream has become your reality and now that the scared little girl no longer follows me wherever I go, I miss her. I do. Because there are things, that I wanted to tell her, to relax, to lighten up, that it is all going to be okay. I want her to know that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually accept you for who you are will become an increasingly rare occurrence friends and family, these people who contributed to who I am they are with me where ever I go. And as history gets rewritten in smalls way with each passing day my love for them only grows, because the truth is it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned, but all that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticizes the good? Maybe it's because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something. We were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all. That time our lives that we will never forget. I can't swear that's exactly how it happened. But this is how it felt
"Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square hole.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them,
disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, I see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

His Side
- "Tell her how you feel" is what my friends said
- So I picked up the phone
- Called her
- She answered
- I said "I Love You."
- And hung up right after
- The next day
- I told her it was a bet from a friend
- It was partly true
- But she didn't answer
- There was no sassy response like what she normally do
- I just stood there
- Then walked away
Her Side
- He called my house
- I picked up
- He told me he loved me
- Then hung up
- The next day
- I was going to tell you I loved you back
- But you said it was a bet
- I had everything planned out
- Every move I planned
- Every word
- But when you said that...
- I had nothing to say
- I stood and watched you
- As you broke my heart
Two butterflies were in love...
One day, they decided to play hide and seek.
During the game,
Boy butterfly: Let’s play a small game between us.
Girl butterfly: Ok
Boy butterfly: The one who sits in this flower tomorrow morning is the one that loves the other one more.
Girl butterfly: Ok
Next morning, the boy butterfly waits for the flower to open so that he can sit in it before the girl butterfly does. After waiting for some time, the flower finally opened. Guess what did he see?

He saw the dead girl butterfly inside the flower. The boy butterfly was shocked!
The girl butterfly had stayed inside the flower all night so that she can fly to him and tell him how much she loves him when the flower opens in the morning.
This is true love. Life is love.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
It is easy being a Girl but it's not easy being a truly beautiful woman. It's not always how pleasantly you are dressed or how expensive your new pair of Chanel shoes are, there's more to it than those little shallow things.
In this generation, society teaches us to be vain. many people went through operations and pills and spend a lot of money, to change how they look, to obtain A new body and to conceal aging. but let me tell you, you can never buy true beauty because you already have it. you just have to look for it within you and let it show.
Girls, remember that pretty face, that perfect skin, that gorgeous body will not last forever, work on something that will make you more than just a pretty face.
Don't you know you're beautiful? you just have to...
Be Confident
First step is to know that you already possess that that gorgeousness. you are exactly what God intends you to be. don't ever walk with head down girl!
Feed your mind
It’s okay to be a bookworm. Spend considerable time reading Fiction, non-fiction or my personal favorite, Classic literature. Remember, an empty head shows a hollow face. You don’t want that, do you?
Smile and shine
Whether to a stranger passing your way or to a friend having an awful day. It’s good way to start friendship and brighten up other people’s day. Plus factor is, it will brighten up your day too and you will feel better about yourself. After all, pouting gives you wrinkles.
Share
Give something wonderful to the world so that the world gives you something wonderful in return. show everyone your talent. What are you good at? It may be dancing, singing, writing etc. use that to reach out to the world. Remember, even in beauty pageants there are talent portion.
Stay healthy
You get nothing but toxic in Drinking and smoking. don’t waste your money on these things, they will just make your teeth yellow and your lips dark and your skin dry and your life short. Be careful of what goes in your body, it shows on the outside.
Speak like a lady
Talk honestly, sincerly and kindly. most people judge you by the way you communicate to them. I know some pretty girls being called a "witch" or worst, "B*****" because they speak harshly. that's how your words affects your looks. who would want to look like a witch or worst?
Be Real
you're a human being with a heart that pumps blood. DONT BE A PLASTIC, you're not a cheap barbie doll. (Remeber beauty with substance.) Thats immature and that only shows how empty and shallow you can be.
Dream Big and take the first step.
What do you like to be someday? work hard for it. don't give up. take every little step, you'll be surprise to wake up one day and you already get there. start up with your studies.
Help Others
Aesop once said that "No amount of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted". Help others in every way you can. You don't have to be Princess Diana and build Charitites and orphanage, sometimes you just have to be somebody's friend.
Beauty, as we all know is both from inside and out. being beautiful is not just what shows from the outside but from what's within as well. while you are concerned on what you see when look at the mirror, make sure you do not take for granted how you look indside because that too, will reflect in your personality.
Unfortunately such kind of crisis crept over me and it stayed for a long time making my every tissue attenuate every time people would ask- "who I am?"-oopsss!!!I don't know how to answer!!!, however, and after how many years of being dormant I finally came into the point where I must decide which flow I must take, and this I consider as one of the greatest problems I ever did encounter and what's worse about this is the fact that there's no other person capable of providing solutions than myself.
I did try introspection several times to sort out my wants and the results seemed to be favourable with the masculine side.
Truth is...I’d been acting all this way as a gay, I couldn’t deny about it, but the bottom-line is...sexual satisfaction and preference matters more than physical gestures. What we can see with the overt behaviour of a person doesn’t really conclude his/her gender identity. Summing up these realizations-I realized that I want to love a girl, give him all my love, and together create a family someday...
Moving on, I'm very lucky that I had the support of my friends who gave me advice and influenced me to the path that they're on-the right one. Now, I'm glad that upon disclosing and or sharing this revelation to others especially to my close friends I know that I'm on the right track-and they too are happy for me!!!
Now, I don’t have anymore doubts with myself and uncertainties were ruled out. I really don't mind what other people may think about it for so long as I'm happy. I know God wants me to be happy coz that's the reason why He provided me these things called "friends" and so, I would like to especially mention the following people who are in one way or the other extended their unerring support and understanding; to breven, kuya japeth, jake, krissy, angel, elay, at-at, thanks so much! You guys are amazing! And to God be the glory!
One lesson I learned about life is; it’s not always late to metamorphose, if changes will make you happy then you definitely have to go to it...you don’t have to cross over borders just to find yourself and change...
When I consider friendship with girls, I feel like that boy! I don't want to reach the chewy center of romance- just want to be friends. But I don't always know how much attention a friendship between a guy and girl can handle before--crunch!-- I've crossed the line from friendship into more than friendship.
I don't raise this concern because I'm afraid of romance. On the contrary, I look forward to the one day growing to love girl and doing my best to sweep her off her feet. But until that time comes, I want to focus on serving God in my singleness. To stay on this course, I've chosen to avoid dating, steerig clear of any romantic entanglements.
But sometimes my friendships go crunch.
Have you ever realized that friendship has tipped over into romance? If so, then you know how difficult it can be to avoid this situation. One moment you're pals; then all of a sudden you heart kicks into high gear. You sigh when you think of this person. You find yourself daydreaming of the next time you can spend time with ths "friend." Or you're with a group of friends, and when that particular person talks with someone else you feel....something.
Jealous? Possesive?
You try to reason with yourself. "Why would I feel this way? We're just friends. We're brother and sister in Christ..." You can say whatever you want, but you know deep down that you've "crunched."
A Girl might be the most complex creature you’ve ever met but you ought to love her. Love all of her, 100%. Love her in every way you know. Be the only man he needs. Touch the deepest part of heart but remember that when you do, there’s no turning back. Hold her hands and together, conquer your fears and uncertainties. Hold her when she cries. Hold her when she’s mad. Fight for her when she tells you to let go.
Be the prince in her fairytale and make her your princess. Make her happily ever come true. Slay her dragons with her. You need not fight her own battles but be there for her. Be her armour. Be her umbrella in her pouring rain. Protect her. Protect her from yourself. Be her shelter when she’s got nowhere else left to go.
Show your love in small gestures. Sing to her. Dance with her. Look into her eyes and get lost in it. Know her; if possible know her better than she knows herself. Find a way to see the best she has in her. Show her the real you too.
Never make her sad. Don't ever leave her. stay with her in sickness and in health, through thick and thin. give her your best, you know she deserves it. Fall for her over and over again and make her love you too.
Never be afraid to love a girl. when you do all this things, you will finally see that you're lucky to have the chance to love her because when you love a girl, she will love you more.
