Sa haba ng paglalakbay ng isang tao sa kanyang buhay,
Normal lang na makakita tayo ng iba't-ibang daan.
Maraming daanan man ang magpakita sa'tin,
Meron lamang tayong maikling oras para pumili.
Sabagay... tayo ang nagmamay-ari sa buhay natin.
May karapatan naman tayong pumili ng gusto natin diba?
Pero ngayon...sa araw na ito.... sa oras na ito...
Habang nagpapanggap na naman tayong bida sa sarili nating kwento
Makakaramdam tayo...
Na parang may pumipilit satin?
Na parang pinipilit tayong pumili?
Pero kahit anong piliin natin,
Di natin maiiwasang hindi masaktan.
Pero bago tayo mamaalam,
Siguraduhin muna nating nagawa na natin lahat.
Dahil sa buhay, mayroon lamang tayong pagpipilian...
Yun ay kung papalayain na natin sya at hayaang makapaghanap ng iba...
O kakapit parin tayo dahil lang sa natitirang pag-asa?

A Self-love Story
Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.Complete
