Caramel Speaks

People walk through our lives with reasons not to be revealed unless we dwell with them, reasons unraveled throughout ages, and reasons we never knew ever existed. We often categorize people as to how special they are in our lives yet at times, we fail to show them how we exactly feel towards them. When you already had the perfect place and timing to tell that special person how you feel, you will always regret it yet you cannot blame yourself for not doing such a thing for your own personal reasons. In this blog post, let me share my first domestic travel. I was not really excited to go to that place, because for me, it was just a form of escape from the places I am very used to, to be a stranger once again. I was with some of my closest friends. Six days of no hustle and bustle. I need not narrate everything that has happened during those days. The most important parts of the vacation were the moments that I had with my special friend. Day one, two, three, up to the sixth day, ...

What would you choose, the love of your life or the life that you love? #soon.

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb  one day , like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. ” - from Neil Gaiman * I felt bitterness and reality in these word...

Our  lives can be summed up and governed by three points: EGO, CHARACTER, SELF-ACTUALIZATION   Ego: you’re the best, you’re the worst                 What there was to be proud of about myself, no matter what industry we choose, that’s the challenge! Support your ego. Do not better your ego. Do not look down on someone. Temper your ego. Not be the worst, not be the best. Be good enough and make yourself right-sized. Character: end justifying the means                 Leaving the cradle, the opportunity is yours to solidify who you really want to be and what values that you hold true; what will your character be, and what would people say about you; what would people think about you; will you be known as honest, fair, trustworthy, humble, generous, compassionate, it’s up to you. It takes all types to make...

Ten minutes. Please talk. Nine minutes. Please talk. Eight minutes. Please talk. Seven minutes. Please talk. Six, five, four minutes. Please talk. Three minutes. He won’t talk. Please talk. Two minutes. Say hello at least. One minute. Last chance, just say hello. Thirty seconds. Please? He did not talk to me. Oh well. 

What really happens when you like a person and you do not have the guts to tell him because you are so afraid to be  hurt and rejected, or because you are thinking you are not yet ready for any other responsibilities towards the other person, or because you are better to be alone? What really happens when you feel like life was pulling you back and forth and whatever you do won’t be enough for the people around you and you would never receive any compliment, just criticisms and more criticisms? What really happens when everything around you feels like falling apart and you have nothing to do but watch your life shattering before you? What really happens when the people you are really close with and you can share anything with are not available in times of deepest grief and despair? What really happens when you feel so alone, that even if you convince yourself that you have other people who would listen to you, it just doesn’t feel right? What really happens ...

If those days were longer, If I told you how I feel, If those moments lasted forever, Maybe something would be real. Whenever you are beside me, Everything feels surreal, Everything becomes happy I wish this could always be. You tickled not only my foot, but my heart You always crack jokes and prank You’re sometimes grumpy and moody Yet, I still adore your personality. I left my heart there Please bring it back here For it continuously looks for a pair Until you can find me Couldn’t keep on thinking about you, Because no matter what I do You never left my head And emotions never ended. Impossible as it may seem You only came as a dream Never to be real or true But my heart’s shouting for you. I travelled with you I walked with you I shared moments with you Now, all I want is to be with you. You need to unmask my feelings, For I don’t have the guts to speak You need to know what’s missing For our searching h...
