  • There comes a time in your life when you, finally, realize that following you heart, sometimes, takes you to places you shouldn't be. Places that are scary as they are exciting and as dangerous as they are alluring. Sometimes, your heart cannot take you to places that lead to happy ending. And that's quite alright, because you have come to terms with the fact that there aren't always fairytale endings (or beginnings for that matter).

    You realize that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say, intentionally or unintentionally, and that not everyone will always come through. There comes a time when you learn that saying is not doing, and action speaks louder than words. You realize that people grow and change, so it is with love and relationships, and that not everyone can always love you the way you would want them to.

    In the end, you realize that It’s okay to be fragile, to feel as if the smallest breeze will shatter you into a million pieces, and to cry when your heart is broken, and overwhelmed with sadness. You don't have to pretend that you're strong and put on a brave face. Letting your guard down doesn't mean that you're vulnerable, because just like how there's a rainbow after the rain, there's healing after the pain.
