I think it, Thought Catalog puts it in words I couldn't have strung together myself.

"Be friends. If you can’t talk about everything and work through difficulties as friends, you stand no chance of making it as a couple."

Quote lifted from here.

Couple I've known for the longest time, here you go.

Universe-d.

Today's Post Secrets update... I. Just. Can't.

Thanks, you.

I needed something to wake me up...

...when Kean Cipriano posted this on his Instagram account:

It sure woke me up! I mean look at that pretty face and the arms and the shoulders and - ugh - those lips! I couldn't care less about the pretty girl beside him whilst on a bed, I just - whew! - I just want him. Now.

Edit: This photo was taken when they taped Banana Nite that is why I don't care who the girl is. If this were some random hook-up, I'd be, first, super pissed that he had to post a photo of the girl. Second, I'd feel bad for the girl 'cause everyone would know she slept with him... But it's not.

Kaya pala I've been craving for you something.

Yes. This.

Yes.

This is me. I don't know who drew this but she got everything right. Even the "I feel nothing." part.

Great job, Jenny.

Pagbigyan na, malamig naman...

GIFs can hurt me now.

I was browsing through my Tumblr dashboard when I saw this:

I don't even know where this scene is from but it hurt my heart, literally. It has been a long, long while since someone held me this way (If you want to know the truth, the last person who hugged me this way isn't even the same person I am with right now which makes it suck even more). And yes, I am still in a relationship which makes it all the more frustrating in my part. I mean, for someone who is in a relationship, asking to be hugged this way is pathetic. Given na dapat yang mga ganyang moments!

Good God, I can feel my heart clenching whenever I look at the gif.

I've been reading a lot of articles from the Thought Catalog and here's yet another favorite.

34 Ideas About Love And Other Facets Of The Human Condition Worth Considering
OCT. 18, 2012 By TROY R.

The most universal secret is, “I hurt.” Everyone has a secret, and it’s a secret for a reason.

Secrets exist to protect oneself or others from hurt. They are most deeply rooted when felt with guilt or shame.

If you can’t think of a question to ask when judging a decision, it is fair for someone to expect you to have been in the same situation.

One may exercise a lesser hurt in order to quiet a greater hurt.

Hurt is not wrong. Hurt is not something you fix but rather process. You cannot un-hurt no matter how vaguely or clearly the reasons are understood. You can only feel it and eventually not feel it so much.

If someone is eerily wise for their age, love them.

Love is unconditional. If there are conditions, it is business.

Sometimes you have to love from a safe distance.

You will be misunderstood. You will misunderstand. Hurt does not require intent.

Nearly all relationships founded in hurt and healing exist for the purpose of ending. One does not visit a doctor or take medicine once one is feeling well.

Sometimes you just have to sit silently and let your friend know you’re sitting silently.

One of the worst things you can do to help a person who is feeling hurt is to try to understand why before you understand how much.

If someone isn’t in the mood to talk, let them know that you will be back to check up with them. Return, and check up with them.

“I don’t know” is a perfectly acceptable answer. Silence, however, will almost always result in misunderstanding.

Hope is absolutely necessary. Hope is useless.

Disappointments result from expectations.

You get to hurt, too. The word “selfish” is not evil. Both hurt and compassion take effort that must be restored with rest and nutrition.

Your legacy has little to do with parenthood and has much more to do with the passion(s) you inspire in others.

You are never more alive than the moments spent following a passion for which you would give your life.

Eyesight is the least intimate of all the senses. Compare the number of people you have seen in your life to the number you have tasted.

Do not confuse beauty and attractiveness.

It is not fair to compare anyone’s pain to anyone else’s. You may instead compare situations and decisions.

Loneliness is not being understood.

It will always be hard times for dreamers, because they’d be doers if they knew how.

A person will have all the closure they need if they feel they are right.

The word “should” is responsible for more hurt than any other word — even for oneself.

Both hurt and love are irrational and not completely controllable. Give them that respect, and allow yourself and others to be human.

Trust is a feeling.

The feelings that you have are based on your own experience. They aren’t wrong. Someone may disagree based on their own experience. Such a person would not be wrong either.

You cannot change the present because it is too fast. You cannot change the past because it is too heavy. You can affect the future, but you cannot control it.

Sometimes the only reason to explain our hurt is the possibility that we will be on the listening end of a similar discussion, and somebody inexperienced will not be able to understand.

It is not stupid to make a mistake; it’s stupid to not learn from it. We’re all stupid.

It is only when we completely shatter that the decision can be made of what pieces we pick up and what pieces we leave behind.

Health then responsibility then happiness then kindness then beauty. You may have to (or wish to) deviate from this order every now and then, but notice when you do, and compensate when you can.

17 Things That Suck About Being A Little Bit Fat
OCT. 5, 2012 by JANUARY NELSON

1. Depending on what you’re wearing, you can either look borderline thin or borderline obese. One false move — one ill-fitting shirt or unflattering pair of jeans — and all of a sudden you’re FAT.
2. People who haven’t seen you in awhile tell you that you look “healthy” and then you cry because you know that just means that you have a fleshier mid-section.
3. Nothing fits exactly the way you want it to. And then when you want to wear something too big that hides your body, you just look even fatter. Only truly skinny people can look good in oversized clothing. If someone a little bit fat wears something that’s a size too big, it just looks like an unfortunate accident.
4. You start to wonder if strangers see you on the street and identify you as being fat. You don’t weigh enough to have it be a unanimous decision but there certainly are people who would describe you as being “bigger.”
5. You can’t tell what’s natural curves and what’s the product of sitting on your ass for the last 25 years.
6. You only really think about losing weight when you see yourself naked. Other times, you’re just like, “Meh. I don’t think I’m fat enough yet. I’ll just wait and see what happens.”
7. There are three rolls on your stomach. Everyone has the first two rolls but the third one is reserved for people who are a little bit fat, such as yourself.
8. Your family used to make fat jokes about you at Christmas because you were always pretty skinny. Now they just don’t say anything.
9. Sex with the lights off. Always.
10. Everyone you sleep with is skinnier than you which makes you feel bad, like you’re not keeping up your end of the 20-something bargain or something.
11. You notice that everyone started to eat healthier except for you. You are the only one who’s still ordering pasta at dinner. When did this happen? When did everyone agree to stop consuming carbs? Was there a meeting about this that you didn’t know about?
12. Your clothes from three years ago still fit. You just look fatter in them.
13. You’re not fat enough to want to change your lifestyle, even though you feel more and more uncomfortable in your own skin.
14. You hate every piece of clothing you own but you avoid going shopping because you can’t bring yourself to buy things in a bigger size.
15. You know it wouldn’t be that difficult to lose the weight which makes you feel even lazier and more pathetic.
16. You see yourself gaining weight in places that you didn’t even know was possible. Like a fat collarbone? Who has that?
17. You know the thing that comes after a “little bit fat” is “actually fat” so start changing your life now! You totally will. Just after eating this plate of spaghetti and meatballs.

20 Feelings And Situations That Everybody Hates
APR. 4, 2012 By CHRISTOPHER HUDSPETH

1. Seeing a bug, then losing track of it and becoming a paranoid prisoner in your own home.
2. Hearing loud slams and bumps while you’re in the shower and imagining it being some type of killer who you’ll have to fight off, soaking wet and butt naked.
3. Thinking that you’ve found a parking space, but as you turn in you discover that a motorcycle, a Volkswagen Bug, or some other vehicle the size of a Hot Wheels car has already occupied the spot.
4. When a sneeze refuses to come out, causing you to look like a fool with a scrunched up face.
5. Waiting to hear from somebody specific and being bombarded by texts & calls from everyone who isn’t that person.
6. When the week feels like: Moooooooooooooonday, Tuuuuuuuuuuueeeesday, Weeeeeeeeeeeednesday, Thuuuuuuuuuursday, FriSatSun.
7. You scan your surroundings. Nobody is near you. You fart. Within three seconds, somebody comes right into the stinky perimeter that you’ve created.
8. Checking your bank account after a night of intoxicated drink purchases.
9. When you microwave frozen food and it’s scorching hot everywhere but the ice cold middle.
10. When Michael Bay acquires the rights to make a film about a franchise that you previously enjoyed.
11. When somebody makes up lies about you, and defending yourself makes you seem guilty – but not defending yourself seems suspicious as well.
12. Getting paid but knowing in advance that your check will be consumed by bills.
13. Entering a parked car on a scorching hot summer day.
14. When gas prices are higher than your GPA.
15. When someone 20+ feet away holds the door open for you, forcing you to jog toward them.
16. The humbling moment when you realize you’re wrong during an argument.
17. Waking up and only having a few minutes left until the alarm will sound.
18. When you wear a good outfit but don’t run into anybody noteworthy all day.
19. When you have to be a douche and shuffle through the bag to confirm that Taco Bell (or any other fast food joint) got your order correct.
20. The feeling of heartburn, self-hate and bubble guts that comes about 5-10 minutes after consuming Taco Bell (or any other fast food joint).

Men's Brain vs. Women's Brain

(Grabbed from a Facebook page)

Human Brain Analysis - Man vs. Woman......A MUST READ! 

1. MULTI-TASKINGWomen - Multiple processWomens brains designed to concentrate multiple task at a time.Women can Watch a TV and Talk over phone and cook.Men - Single ProcessMens brains designed to concentrate only one work at a time. Men can not watch TV and talk over the phone at the same time. they stop the TV while Talking. They can either watch TV or talk over the phone or cook.

2. LANGUAGEWomen can easily learn many languages. But can not find solutions to problems. Men can not easily learn languages, they can easily solve problems. That's why in average a 3 years old girl has three times higher vocabulary than a 3 yeard old boy. 

3. ANALYTICAL SKILLSMens brains has a lot of space for handling the analytical process. They can analyze and find the solution for a process and design a map of a building easily. But If a complex map is viewed by women, they can not understand it. Women can not understand the details of a map easily, For them it is just a dump of lines on a paper. 

4. CAR DRIVING.While driving a car, mans analytical spaces are used in his brain. He can drive a car fastly. If he sees an object at long distance, immediately his brain classifies the object (bus or van or car) direction and speed of the object and he drives accordingly. Where woman take a long time to recognize the object direction/ speed. Mans single process mind stops the audio in the car (if any), then concentrates only on driving.

5. LYINGWhen men lie to women face to face, they get caught easily. Womans super natural brain observes facial expression 70%, body language 20% and words coming from the mouth 10%. Mens brain does not have this. Women easily lie to men face to face.So guys, do not lie face to face.  

6. PROBLEMS SOLVINGIf a man have a lot of problems, his brain clearly classifies the problems and puts them in individual rooms in the brain and then finds the solution one by one. You can see many guys looking at the sky for a long time. If a woman has a lot of problems, her brain can not classify the problems. she wants some one to hear that. After telling everything to a person she goes happily to bed. She does not worry about the problems being solved or not. 

7. WHAT THEY WANTMen want status, success, solutions, big process, etc... But Women want relationship, friends, family, etc... 

8. UNHAPPINESSIf women are unhappy with their relations, they can not concentrate on their work. If men are unhappy with their work, they can not concentrate on the relations. 

9. SPEECHWomen use indirect language in speech. But Men use direct language.  

10. HANDLING EMOTIONWomen talk a lot without thinking. Men act a lot without thinking.

I love this.

Life is simple.

Karma...

I've been trying to cleanse my being and I would want to think that I am doing a great job. I saw this list and I think the thing I've been lacking in is watching my attitude. I can come off as a know-it-all or a snob...or both. Does that mean that karma will still come after me and ruin a few days in my life?

Remember when I said that I deserve to have relapses?

Well, apparently, God decided to tell me something and He used my GodWhispers subscription to tell me whatever it is He needed to tell me to make me feel better...
