The Perks of Being a Hopeless Romantic

On the downside, it hurts. Like HELL. Somehow, it all seems more unbearable, confusing, devastating. 

Seems.

SEEMS.

See, the good thing about being a hopeless romantic is that our hearts are more resilient than usual. Sure, we hurt the most. But then we bounce back just a little bit faster, too. 

At least I'd like to think so. :)

Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin… Have you ever felt this way about someone? If you have to think about it, you have not felt it. Of course, everyone does eventually, you just never know when, or where. - HIMYM, S08E01

I'd like to think my Lebenslangerasdfjklh is still out there. I mean, I know he is. And this could be our song right now:

James Morrison - Get to You

Oh, that's right. Hopeless romantics are the cheesiest, too. ♥

The Self-Esteem Plan

I should really be less of this...

...and more of this:

Time starts... NOW.

And I can't tell if this makes me laugh or cry. 

No one ever said it would be this hard. Oh, take me back to the start.

This is probably the most accurate diagram of stepping out of one's comfort zone that I've ever seen. (Are there others? I don't know.)

Just because you've stepped out of it doesn't mean the magic happens right away. There's a whole lotta space going on outside that small circle, see? And who the heck knows if I'm stepping towards the right direction with all that space? Did I just use "I" instead of "you"? Why yes, yes I did.

I feel like I'm somewhere in that whole lotta space going on between the two circles. I don't even know where exactly. Every weekend literally feels like I'm coming up for air. And every time I feel like singing "Nobody said it was ea-seeehhh..." ♫ Yup. Just that line.

It's fun. No doubt about it. It's fun sometimes.

God, I hope I'm just being Miyagi'd.

*takes a deep breath*

Day 03 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap

The moment the echo-y guitar plucking comes in at the very beginning, I get all giddy, stop whatever it is I'm doing, and try to soak it all in. 

The vocals, the beat, the melody of the seemingly floating instruments -- everything just reminds me of being happy. So happy in fact that it sometimes makes me fast forward to my future wedding. You know those onsite-Jason-Magbanua-style-videos that they make? I imagine that this would be the perfect OST for that. (DIBS!) 

Aside from imaginary weddings, this song is perfect for late-night/early-morning drives which I absolutely luuurve. It is a MUST for me to have that perfect song on that perfect drive... to feel infinite. (If you know where that came from, let's be friends.)

"A moment, a love, a dream, a laugh, a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs, a moment on..." ♫

P.S. You can find Jason Magbanua wedding videos HERE. I try to watch them in doses. As I am a sucker for weddings, I go all Coldplay when I watch them. (Coldplay = every teardrop is a waterfall. Heh.)
