[ongoing] For me, love is flying with broken wings, still hoping to catch someone you love above the clouds, even when they're beyond your reach. I am Valeen Eliesha I. Alcaraz, the kind of girl who doesn't wait around for life to hand me the things I want. It's not that I don't feel fear, rejection, or judgment. I do. But instead of letting them paralyze me, I let them fuel me. Giann Axel A. Fuerte, the boy who made love feel less like a war and more like coming home. With him, I felt seen, heard, and safe. He gave me the kind of attention I didn't know I was starving for. But life doesn't always stay soft for people who love too hard, does it? "Valeen, you have to stop this." Raven's words cracked a little. "Loving him was never going to be enough to give him a second chance.. at a life he never even wanted to fight for." Those words haunted me more than I'd like to admit. How will you fight a war when the person you're fighting for has already laid down their weapons? Ang sama ng tadhana para muling bigyan ng pagkakataon ang taong minahal ko, pero hindi ang pagkakataon para mahalin ako.
