B - R - O - K - E - N PENCIL

for a while it was hard. well, i am not going to lie. it is still extremely difficult to erase memories of him when it seems like everything in my world reminded me of him. it's even tearjerking because not only did i lost someone whom i loved dearly but he is also my bestest friend - the one whom i ran to when the world shuts its doors on me. so now, my world had made a drastic change. let's just put it this way: who do you run to when the only person who can make you stop crying, is exactly the one who is making you cry?ironic, isn't it?

it's amazing the things you realize when you lose someone: first, you get mad furiously at yourself for not saying the unrevealed feelings and things you could've said a million times. then you take for granted the unproductive days spent doing nothing when you could have been with them. i guess, it just him my brains that anyone can be taken, at any time in our lives. but we always wait until they're gone to say the things we never had the courage to before. and worse, is that, it was already too late.

and it was just that. they leave as quickly like a bubble...gone in a heart beat and out of the blue.it just happens without reason, and when we expect it least. then the crying sessions begins. the marathon dramas of blaming yourself for falling for him kills you slowly. it pulls our hurting heart to shattered pieces. it breaks our weary souls apart as teardrops dance and secrets feast upon the hearts of innocence who loves despite of. how was it said? i remember reading this before, "where truth remains untold, beneath the sounds of silence is where the broken hearts unfold."

before, when conversations about love, holding on and letting go comes out, i always hang onto to being a " martyr. i, like some people, believe that holding on and hanging in there when you are in love are signs of strength. however, going through these ordeals of getting over him, i came to a conclusion that there are times in our life in which it takes much more strength to just let go. it was best to let go. it was best to let HIM go.

love is such a complicated thing. don't get me wrong. i loved with all my heart. and though i am hurt right now, i still think love is a wonderful thing. but right now, i'm just doing what is practical and harmless for me (and for him). i tried loving him because i just obediently followed the beatings of my heart. only to find out in the end that it was not the right thing. because loving him is like a broken pencil...there's no point.there's just no point...and so i left.

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.
