Posted by Jae on Sep 22, '08 6:46 AM for everyone "The sweetness of a person will make you happy, but it will bring confusion if you will see the same person with the same sweetness with someone else." "Always make your absence felt in such a way that somebody misses you, but let not your absence be so long that somebody starts learning to live without you." "There will come a point in your life when you'll get tired of chasing everyone, trying to fix everything. It's not giving up, it's just a realization that you don't need all those whom you went after, because what you need are those who stood by you even if you never asked for them." "Stop worrying about the 'what if's'. Things will happen if they are meant to happen. Feel the fear, but face it anyway." "Ano namang mapapala mo sa kaiisip sa nakaraan at sa mga pwede pang mangyari? Wala ka naman sigurong super powers para maibalik ang nakalipas na. Dapat matuto kang pahalagahan ang mga nangyayari sayo sa kasalukuyan. Isipin mo ngayon. I-enjoy mo lang ang buhay. 'Wag kang emo. Hindi ka talaga magiging masaya kung hindi mo tutulungan ang sarili mo. Natural lang na makaramdam ng lungkot paminsan-minsan pero ang pagiging miserable? 'Wag kang hibang, choice mo yan." "Sometimes all we need in life is to tell whatever it is that we have inside. We just need to let it out then let it go. Whatever the consequences, we just have to be brave enough to stand up for our feelings. No one said life is easy, but we shouldn't make it a lot harder. Besides, life is too short. So do what your heart tells you. Stop thinking, stop worrying. Just keep this in mind: You might not have second chances, so spill it out then embrace mo yan." "If we cannot be grateful for what we have received, then let us at least be thankful for what we have been spared from." "REALITY OF FEAR: You're not scared of the dark; you're scared of what's in it. You're not afraid of heights; you're afraid of falling. You're not afraid of people around you; you're just afraid of rejection. You're not afraid to love; you're just afraid of not being loved back. And you're not afraid to try again; you're just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason." "80/20 RULE: In most realtionships, you're only going to get 80% of what you need. No more, no less. Now, here comes another person offering 20%. Now, 20% looks real good when you are not getting it, but the problem is you're going to leave 80% thinking you get something better, and you end up with 20%. You do the math." --from "Why Did I Get Married?" "Ang tenga kapag pinagdikit, korteng puso. Extension ng puso ang tenga kaya kapag marunong kang makinig, marunong kang magmahal." --Bob Ong "Every relationship, even friendship, is bound to fall apart when you start keeping things. Secrets don't destroy anything, suspicion does."

Find someone who will tell you exactly what he thinks of you. Someone who will tell you how irritating and impossible you can be. Someone who gives compliments at the right time. Someone who will laugh at your clumsiness, but will still love you for it. Someone who won't be afraid in telling you the truth, because only those who can be honest and loyal can stay up to the end."

Interesting read.

For all the scientists out there, and for all the students who have a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible, here's something that shows God's awesome creation, and that He is still in control. Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called 'myth' in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Maryland, and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development. I think one of the most amazing things that God has done for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking out where the positions of the sun, moon, and planets would be 100 years and 1,000 years from now. We have to know this so we won't send up a satellite and have it bump into something later on in its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down. They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries, and it came to a halt. The comp uter stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong with either the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in the service department to check it out, and they said, 'What's wrong?' Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They scratched their heads and tore their hair out. There was no answer. Finally a Christian man on the team said, 'You know, one time I was in Sunday School, and they talked about the sun standing still.' While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, 'Show us, ' He got a Bible and went to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with 'common sense.' There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, 'Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before Thee.' Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy! And if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right... 'The sun stood still and the moon stayed and lasted not to go down about a whole day!' (Joshua 10:12-13) The astronauts and scientists said, There is the missing day! They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes ... not a whole day. They read the Bible, and there it was about [approximately] a day. These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes, you'll still be in trouble 1000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits. As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings that told of the following story: Hezekiah, on his death bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said 'Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees ?' Hezekiah said, 'It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees.' Isaiah spoke to the Lord, and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it amazing? References: Joshua 10:8 and 12,13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11.
Posted by Jae on May 2, '08 7:15 AM for everyone "It's better if someone doesn't recognize your existence rather than having a person who knows you exist yet gives you no worth."
"Is it right to love someone who's sweet when you're together, who kisses you like it is the last time, who holds you like he'll never see you again, and who loves you tenderly when you're with him, but doesn't care at all when you're apart?"
"Never listen to people who have the bad habit of being negative because they steal the best aspirations of your heart. Always remind yourself of the power of the words that we hear or read. Always choose to listen only to words that will empower you to be better."
"Sometimes, we think we're part of someone's life. We share things with them, spend time with them, and gather good memories with them. Then suddenly, they'll show you that no matter how much you want them to be part of you, it cannot happen. Inspite of what you've been through together, you'll realize that you're still strangers, as you always have been."
"Worrying has never solved a problem, never paid a bill, never cured an illness. Worrying is like racing a car engine in neutral because it doesn't get you anywhere, it just uses up gas! So stop worrying. All you need is a prayer and a heartful of faith."
Posted by Jae on Apr 2, '08 9:18 AM for everyone Those who are BITTER are STRONGER individuals. Why? Because STRONG people know how to control their emotions. And BITTER people know when to realize that it's ENOUGH and it's OVER.
BITTERNESS is not at all a negative thing. It's just a way of showing to others that in life, there is such thing as "I still love you, but I don't want you anymore."
Posted by Jae on Mar 18, '08 6:02 AM for everyone In my life, I never tried to impress someone for them to like me because when I do, I will have to keep that image for the rest of my life and it's hard to pretend to be somebody else. I may not be that close to perfection like other people do but, who cares? It's not them whom I live for anyway. What matters is that I know myself and I know how I look like inside and out; and I'm worth it. This is me. As what they say, "If you can't handle my worst, then you don't deserve my best."
Sometimes you got to run away to see who will run after you.
Sometimes you got to talk quiet to see who's really listening.
Sometimes you got to step up to fight only to see who's standing by your side.
Sometimes you got to make a wrong decision only to see who's there to help you fix it.
Sometimes you got to let go of the one you love just to see if they love you enough to come back to you.
"I always pretend to be happy. Talking a lot ang laughing out loud so that nobody would know what's really inside. But at the end of the day, I always find myself all alone, encountering the crucial truth. That I'm hurting too much inside and that not even a million laughter can take it away."
A lot of us have built dreams with people we hoped would be with us forever only to wake up to reality that nothing is permanent in this world. Love comes and goes. People stay and leave. Life is a constant cycle of finding and losing; of making and breaking; of dying and living again. That is why we should love them right, for we may never tell. We might wake up one day realizing that we already lost the people we ought to protect and love.
Women are like policemen. They can have all the evidences in the world but, they still want confessions.
Posted by Jae on Feb 7, '08 11:47 AM for everyone "Human beings are funny. They long to be with people they love but refuse to admit openly.
Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear.
Fear that their feeling may not be recognized or, even worse, returned.
But one thing about a human being that puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be remotely connected with their object of affection,
even if it kills them slowly within."
Posted by Jae on Jul 30, '07 10:15 AM for everyone "Better not to mind the thing that depresses you because it only
makes you weak inside and out. There's a lot of things you can
give your time into. Don't get stuck with the thing that ruins your
day. Be happy and stay happy." "It is wiser to be alone and happy than with somebody who does nothing
but to make you feel stupid." "We choose how we see people. When we want to like someone, we can be
tolerant. When we want to be irritated by people, we focus on their
faults. It's not other people's behavior that determines how we feel
about them--it's our attitude." --Optimus Prime "Have you ever noticed that the more special you treat someone,
the more that someone takes you for granted? It's likely because they
think you won't ever change." "You cannot hold onto something that wants to go. You just got to love
it while you got it, and that's it." "It's the silence that tells it all. Sometimes it's not about the
yelling and the tears. All it takes is for two people to sit beside
each other and feel that something is wrong, that what was there
before isn't there anymore. That they're miserable when they're apart
but they're much worse when they're together. And that there's only
two options left: Either they sit still and ignore the pain, or one
of them gathers enough courage to stand up and walk away..." "You must take pleasure in pain inflicted by people who can't seem to
get a life. They live to criticize every inch of you, when in fact
every little flaw they see hits them with pangs of jealousy for the
reason that even if you're a little stained, they hopelessly ask
themselves, 'How in the world does she make it look just perfect?'"
Posted by Jae on Jul 8, '07 10:25 PM for everyone Silence doesn't always mean yes, it may also mean no but it's better left unsaid.
Anger doesn't always mean hatred, it could just be a means of coping up.
Laughter doesn't always mean happiness, somtimes it is just a mask.
Tears doesn't always mean sorrow, it may also be an outlet of joy.
Staying away doesn't always mean it's the end, it may also mean the best beginning.
And life, though very complex, is always beautiful.
Learn that when you plan to get even with someone, you're only letting that person continue to hurt you.
Learn that ignoring the facts do not change the facts.
Learn that the easiest way to grow as a person is to surround yourself with people smarter than you are.
Learn that no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
And learn that life is tough, but you can be tougher. "Leave someone, you have that right. But the least you can do is tell them why.
Because what's even worse, what's even more painful than being abandoned,
is knowing (that) you're not even worth an explanation." (Peter Parker, Spiderman) "I believe the saddest thing in life, is loving someone so much and then one day you look into their
eyes and listen to them talk and realize that the magic is GONE. All you see in front of you
is a STRANGER with just a known name." Not every seemingly good thing is good for us.
Not every beautiful thing is right.
Not all relationships are worth keeping, nor every person you love is worth it.
So when you lose something or somebody, maybe you are not meant to keep them
or maybe, YOU are not for them to keep. Sometimes, we need to forget about some people from our past because of one simple reason:
They just don't belong in our future.
Posted by Jae on Jun 9, '07 6:38 AM for everyone These are quotable quotes from Grey's Anatomy. Grabbed these from Lau. *** "At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say. They're what you do. Some things you say because you have no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves." "A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. 'Never leave that 'til tomorrow,' he said, 'Which you could do today.' This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it had a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong. What if you make a mistake you can’t undo. Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true. That by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it. It can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically." "Secrets can't hide in science. Medicine has a way of exposing lies. Within the walls of the hospital, the truth is stripped bare. How we keep our secrets outside the hospital -- well, that’s a little different. One thing is certain, whatever it is we're trying to hide; we're never ready for that moment when the truth gets naked. That's the problem with secrets -- like misery, they love company. They pile up and up until they take over everything, until you don't have room for anything else, until you're so full of secrets you feel like you're going to burst." "In general, people can be categorized in one of two ways. Those who love surprises and those who don't. I don't. I've never met a surgeon that enjoys a surprise, because as surgeons, we like to be in the know. We have to be in the know, because when we aren't, people die and lawsuits happen. Okay, I think I'm rambling. My point, actually, and I do have one, has nothing to do with surprises or death or lawsuits, or even surgeons. My point is that whoever said 'What you don't know can’t hurt you,' was a complete and total moron. Because for most people I know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world."
Posted by Jae on May 12, '07 5:33 AM for everyone Feelings and emotions change. It doesn't mean that if you don't feel anything for each other anymore, then the love is gone. If love were only feelings, then there's no such thing as lasting. Love can sometimes turn numb or boring but no matter what, as long as you choose and decide to still continue, it will be more beautiful. Perhaps love is just taking rest. You just have to be patient because love itself is life, not all the time you're in for all its happiness. Sometimes you also have to give in to its bitterness. Love maturely. Excerpt from "A Warm Cup":
"Looking at the way you hesitate to take my hand, resting so near yours, I know you're already gone. I'll make it easy for both of us, I tell myself. I'll forget the feel of your hands on my skin. I will smile and tell you that I'm happy for you because that's what you want to hear, and that's what I want to believe. I will not hope you will be back soon nor say that I wish I was going with you. Instead, I will keep in mind that there is nothing between us anymore. It's just that the coffee is too warm, and I am so cold." First look is accidental; second is intentional. I've never been brave in Cupid's eyes. I tend to hide what I really feel. I pretend to be fine despite the pain deep within. Now, I've realized that "nobody has the right to hurt me, unless I let them take away my happiness." Don't love just for the sake of having one but, love because you believe that your partner is "the right one". The guy who loves you cannot actually state the reason why he does. He only knows you’re the only thing that matters next to his family. The guy who loves you worries a lot when he doesn’t hear a word from you even after he just dropped you home only because he cares. The guy who loves you apologizes nonstop even if he knows you’re wrong—he just wants you to be happy. A guy loves a girl when he knows best for both of them. He let go even though it hurts yet, he still hopes for a future with you… "A husband puts his wife before him." (from Spiderman 3) "Loss is a part if life. You can't really care for something or someone until you realize that one day, they may be gone. And when they do go, we feel like we'll never really care about anything again. But we do. And we discover that that loss was a gift that helps us appreciate all of the things we still have." (from Nip/Tuck) "Sometimes, it's not about who you deserve. It's about who you want. Regrettably, the person you badly want turns out to be someone who just stole your heart away and left it out open to bleed. It's unfair and at the same time, stupid. Because you did let him/her do that. And for a moment, you actually like the feeling of falling and being fooled. What's sad is that after the crying, when you're already tired, you would still let him/her take your heart."
Posted by Jae on Apr 3, '07 1:58 AM for everyone Got this from my mail, sent by my Dad. Quite a good read. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT DEATH
Death is certain but the Bible speaks
about untimely death! Make a
personal reflection about this. Very interesting, read until the end. It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Here are some men and women who mocked God: JOHN LENNON:
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him"
(1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times. TANCREDO NEVES (President of Brazil): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died. CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Canecïo ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner. THE MAN WHO BUILT THE TITANIC:
After the construction of the Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic. MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later, she was found dead in her apartment. BON SCOTT: The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit. CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005:
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU." She responded: "ONLY IF HE (GOD) TRAVELS IN THE TRUNK, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY FULL". Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken. Christine Hewitt: A Jamaican Journalist and entertainer, said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written, in June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive. JESUS!!! P.S: It is entirely up to you if you want to forward this to any one.
If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this? I have done my part, Jesus said" "If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father." He wont be mad if you did not. What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul? What can man give in exchange of his soul?" (Matthew 16:26)
Posted by Jae on Mar 30, '07 7:47 AM for everyone "Everything that happens once may never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen the third time." --Arab Proverb Sometimes it's scary to love the person with all your heart and soul and give them everything they want because maybe someday, they'll just leave you without any explanation. If I could sum up all the causes of hurt, pain and hatred in one word, it's just EXPECTATION. It's next to impossible to find somebody who will never make you cry. So get the next best thing: find someone who's worth all the pain. "I saw him walking with her, I didn't react. I saw him hugging her so tight like he'll never let go, still I stayed calm. I saw him kissing her, I didn't cry. I saw him smiling at her, I believed they were just friends. But as he turned his back on her, I saw him smiling. The smile I've been waiting to see; the smile I hoped for so long he'll give me. He blushed. That's it, I cried." "Oftentimes, we ask for signs for us to know if he/she is the right one. What if there are no signs? Is the absence of signs a sign?" --Serendipity All I need is for one guy, just one guy, who would be man enough to prove to me that they aren't all the same. Our prime purpose in this life is to love others and if you can't love them, at least don't hurt them. All my life I've accepted everything because I believe in this: "Everything happens for a reason." The hard part is "finding what the reason is..." A message to all the girls: Don't be fooled by the sweetness of a man. Most men don't mean it, they just want to look good. When your partner is hurting you, get some space and think. Make sure you only suffer for good reasons not for foolish ones. Being in love doesn't mean being a fool. Use your head and keep your eyes open. Don't act okay if something's wrong. Go ask for help and advice but be sure to listen to it too. Lastly, always pray for guidance.

Posted by Jae on Mar 23, '07 11:16 PM for everyone "I want to be your last call of the night and first thought in the morning..
I want those 5-hour conversations that end in: 'No, you hang-up first..'
I want the heart-racing, palm-sweating, what's-gonna-happen-next moments..
I want the hugs that never want to let go and the stolen kisses that are
always the sweetest..
But most importantly, I want to think of you as mine and mine alone.." "The price of hating other human being is loving oneself less."
Life is so complicated, the hustle and bustle of everyday traumas can make us lose
focus about what is truly important and what is only a momentary setback of crisis.
Today, tomorrow, be sure to give your loved ones an extra hug, and by all means,
take a moment even if it's only 10 seconds, to stop and smell the roses... Don't spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have rather
remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for! I've never understood the reasoning for someone to "move on". It's not like
you're really going to "move on", you're just trying to tell your heart to
stop thinking about that person every second of every minute, every minute of
everyday until it finally becomes a routine and you don't notice it anymore.
That is, until you see that person again, with someone who isn't you,
and then you have to remind yourself again, smile.. Smile. Relationships are worth restoring.
"Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody."
--Romans 12:18 Time spent in getting even is better used in trying to get ahead. Revenge is
like biting a dog because it has bitten you. Control your temper. People
constantly blowing fuses are left alone in the dark. You can never teach a guy to love you the way you want to be loved.
You have to wait for him to do it in his own way, in his own time.
That's the saddest part of being a girl.
But you can never teach a girl to love the guy back the way she did before
if she already grew tired and fed up understanding and waiting to be appreciated
and loved the way she deserves to be loved.
That's the saddest part of being an insensitive man. Though my days have been hell at times, I still reserve a reason to smile.
Though destiny seemed to test my strength with all those shit, I still manage
to keep my faith because I know that after every f*cking tear that fall from my
eyes, comes a new spark of happiness that is even greater than every sucking
pain I felt. Damn! I still believe in happy endings. If you were paid P1.00 for every kind word you speak and take away P1.00 for
every unkind word you say, would you be then rich or poor? Think about it. "I think part of the reason why we hold onto something so tight for so long
is because we fear that something so great will never happen twice.." Some people say that, "You don't know what you have until you lose it."
But it's not like that. You always know what you have, you just never thought
you would lose it. Sometimes we never seem to be contented with what we have. We were given good
but we keep on seeking for the best which sometimes leads us to missing the
simple yet satisfying part of this journey. Just like in love, we set
requirements, we target the ideal, so where do we end up? We end up hoping
that the ones we have left behind still have spaces for us because the one
we thought to be ideal doesn't seem to see us that way. What an irony. "There will come a time in your life that you will become infatuated with a single soul. For this person, you would do anything and not think twice about it. When asked why, you have no answer to it. You'll try your whole life to understand how a single person can affect you as much as they do; no matter how badly you hate it, and how badly it hurts, you'll love this person without regret for the rest of your life..."

Especially how it makes you crave for its rich and sweet promises of grains, milk, and sugar. Moments later, it puts you into a melancholic mood of coldness. Before you realize, it has consumed you before you have consumed it. Empty. Hollow. Bitter. Then again, you crave for another cup... ...just like love."
Posted by Jae on Mar 5, '07 1:57 AM for everyone For everyone to ponder on, "Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past, nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it and then let it go." -Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life
Posted by Jae on Mar 2, '07 11:30 AM for everyone "When someone breaks your heart, first you are shocked. Someone will say you are heartbroken and you examine the words "break" and "heart" and "heartbroken" and you immediately decide that it's inaccurate. You feel pain in the region of your heart and you think it's your heart breaking but one's heart doesn't really break, something else does--faith. You stop believing. You just stop believing in the small things that give meaning to your daily life and you begin to think everything is pointless: why get up? Why dress up? Why breathe in and out? What for? What for? When someone breaks your heart (your faith), you stop believing and you switch off the lights inside your heart. Someone is home but that someone is lying in the dark, in the room farthest from the gate, and that someone can't hear anything. Friends, parents, they all call out from the gate ("come out" which means "move on") but they are unheard, unseen, unacknowledged. When someone breaks your heart, you turn into a small ball of self-pity. You lie in bed, in a ball. You hug your knees, keeping them close to your chest, like a fetus. Freud said it's human instinct to go back to the womb where we can feel safe. But that's what happens when someone breaks your heart--they steal the very thing that makes you feel safe, whole, intact."
