risks to take

for the first time, i opened up my concerns for R to someone close to me, to my cousin ate ral. at universal citywalk today, while we were having our sensible dinner in a very trendy spot within citywalk, we started talking about our lovelives. though, she has recently married and is now pregnant with their first child, she managed to understand my fear towards loving again. i told her the whole situation about glenn beign so selfish because he saw that i was learning how to love again, and how ron is giving me the whole world but i still have this immense fright of falling in love.

most of the people i have opened up to this, i got criticisms. well, i welcomed these comments. after all, it came from people who cares for me. for instance, my ex boyfriend ziggy said, "i fall too easily." and maffi gave her second demotion to that. she also said i should be careful and honest. ate ral said, "leave glenn's loser ass." and i agreed to all their comments. i understood their concern for me not to be played with again.

but on the opposite side, my point is, i think i have the right to be happy. i mean, yes, i have been hurt before. and yes, men played with my heart before and has broken my heart so many times. but how can i get rid of this pain, of this hatred and rage, and this doubts against the opposite sex if i don't take the risk. i took mane of these risks before. i failed to make it work for different personal resons. but should those falure at love attempts hinder me from "trying" to be happy again and from "trying" to search for my luck in love again? i will never know what is in stored for me unless i explore my options, right?

so that brings me to my situation with R. at thsi point of time in my life, i consider him special. i don't know how special yet. i just know he is. he is showing me things i never encountered in a man in my past. before, i am the one doing the pampering, all the swallowing the pride, all the worrying, all the caring for my past partners, but now, R is the one doign all these things for me. i'm just not used to being in this side of the circumstances. you know, when someone takes really good care of you genuinely and never expects anything in return?

ate ral asked me a very important question tonight. she asked me what i felt for glenn. and i quickly responded, " i feel pity." then i thought of R. i am sure i 'm not using him for my own benefit. i want to show him that i appreciate all the caring and concern he has shown me because he deserves it. i am just waiting for the proper time.

so tell me, am i really dreaming? am i still living an infatuation? or is he really too good to be true? will i stop my heart from falling for a man who needs me as much as i need him? or will i fight NOT to fall for him because i might regret this later? tell me, is this risk of "likng someone too much again" worth it? or should i let him go?

i think i need him...i need someone like him because he keeps me inspired. and i, in return, motivates him. but is that enough to keep us together? is that enough for us to bind? or should i let the fear take over me and turn my back on this now and don't even give this chance to love again flourish at all?

right now, i don't know. i just know that only R and i can judge and make and agree (or diagree) to this decision along with all the risks related with it. what will it be?

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
