If we can’t be honest and open then what’s the point

I don’t regret the things that happen in my life.

I embrace them—all the good and the bad.

Everything happens for a reason anyway, and we are where we are meant to be at this point in our lives for a reason.

So even when they make me feel like shit, I just let it be, ‘coz pain demands to be felt.

However, further introspection has made me deduce that choosing no one back then—which was actually one of my options—might have been the best choice, probably also the fairest choice (none of us wins, right?).

I finished reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig about a month ago, and it was a fitting book for this era of my life because it portrayed how our decisions—whether they be big or small—can alter the outcomes of our life.

Now, if I have my own Midnight Library, I’d do anything to see the life I could’ve had if I had chosen no one back in February. Just see, okay? A lot of things in this world I’d like to do just for the sake of seeing it by myself.

Going back, I may not understand for now why this shit is happening but, in time, I will. And it’ll be worth it.

Thank you for the love.

But we’re just not meant to be.

I’m sorry that my way of loving is not the way you desire to be loved. Still, I didn’t lie when I said I loved you, and I loved you in every way that I could.

I can still remember back when I was eleven years old when every weekend at around 10 a.m., I’d change the TV channel to Nickelodeon to watch the next adventures of Aang and his friends.

Yeah, it has been one of my favorite shows since I was a kid until now—almost 20 years later.

Considering that Avatar: The Last Airbender shaped a lot of my childhood and it influenced the way I conceptualize stories in my head, you can say that I’m a huge fan.

I’ve just finished that live-action adaptation produced by Netflix.

And… it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good either.

I mean, I don’t mind the changes and all that. The mere fact that the two are very different mediums, they have less episodes to work with, and that they clearly have a different target audience, odds are, drastic changes were bound to happen.

My problem is the storytelling and the cringeworthy dialogues. It felt like they took parts of the animated show, disassembled them, then weaved them together to form half-baked story that lacked cohesion. That’s why I found it difficult to have any emotional attachment to the characters.

Despite that, it was not irredeemable. There were some things that I really liked still. First of all, the performances of Dallas Liu and Gordon Cormier who played Zuko and Aang respectively. Their portrayals were my favorite.

I also love the additions to the story, especially those that were taken from the comic books and we never actually got to see in the original show—like Koh’s backstory. I didn’t mind seeing Azula and her friends this early as well, and I thought that it wasn’t really much of a bad decision. The problem is: the expense of these additions is the omission of certain elements that made up relevant plot lines in the original show.

Was it worth it? To be honest, I feel quite indifferent. But I won’t be like one of those fans who nitpick every single aspect of the show without accepting the fact that adaptations such as these can’t be a hundred percent accurate because they have limitations and other goals to meet.

In any case, the show is still binge worthy. I mean, I was still hooked to it despite seeing all those issues. So I guess… on that part, they did a pretty good job.

And I’m still hoping to see Toph in live action. So yeah, I’d still wait and watch for the second and third seasons once they come out.

new song recommendations?

Hi Anon!

Hmmm can’t suggest any, but I’ve been listening to Cup of Joe a lot recently. Here’s a playlist on Spotify:

Happy 1st Monthsary, @shandeyl 🤍🤍🤍

Never magnify the little ways you expect someone to express their love for you that you ignore the other ways they have expressed their love for you.

Love 🤍

Maybe it was destiny for me be heartbroken and have trouble staying asleep back in January.

Maybe it was destiny for me to wake up at around 3:00 a.m. on my birthday and start swiping on Bumble randomly just to pass the time and induce drowsiness.

Maybe it was destiny for you to be riddled with anxiety that night and still be up at the same time to see that we’ve matched on the app.

Maybe it was destiny that you were in the accounting industry, and I just happened to start working for an insurance company a few months back. And I only half-meant that you should try applying for us, but you still did, and now we’re just counting the days until we officially become colleagues.

Maybe it was destiny that your ex-boyfriend was also an Aquarian, and I’m here to prove to you that we Aquarians are unique and that we’re not one and the same. And I’m also here to prove to you that unconditional love exists—that kind of love that sees through all your insecurities and imperfections and accepts them wholeheartedly, despite the odds.

You fulfilled the birthday wish I least expected to come true and became the best gift the universe has given to me during my most uneventful birthday—which I originally planned to sulk and do nothing.

Ever thought that maybe the stars just aligned for us, @shandeyl?

It's been a while, huh?

Yeah, a lot's been going on in my life.

I haven't even posted anything about my 30th birthday—not to say that it wasn't memorable. As a matter of fact, it actually was, though in a different way.

And I guess... that's when I got preoccupied with the stuff that's going on in my life.

Work's getting a bit busier ever since last January. I'm now feeling the pressure of the responsibilities of my position.

Then... I've gone through this chapter of my dating life that led me to make one of the toughest decisions I've ever made in my entire life.

It was.... very bittersweet.

Don't get me wrong. I am happy with my decision and where I am now. I'm just hoping and praying that... this is it. On the other hand, I'm still recuperating from the pain caused by that decision I made.

So... Yeah. I have a boyfriend now.
