"Sometimes, I hope people can always say what they truly feel. And be genuine about it. No restrictions. No holding back. No keeping all the most important parts.
But then I remembered that I myself couldn't even do that. So why would I expect other people to be like that?
I realized that sometimes we have to choose what we only have to say from the words that we truly want to say. Every word doesn't have to be said out loud; rather, let our actions show what we truly mean. Because not everyone has the time to listen to what we're about to say, and that's totally okay. We human beings don't have all the time in the world to understand everything that's happening around us. We're all busy trying to save ourselves and live life the way we want to.
So it's fine if you can't compose yourself to say everything you want to. But remember that there are so many ways to reach those people who are important to you. And I hope you'll be surrounded by the right people who will lend an ear to hear the stories that you've been holding onto."
I wish I was braver // ma.c.a

I would much rather experience everything love has to offer
The highs,
The lows,
The heartbreak,
and choose to love all over again
I refuse to let love make me angry
Or even bitter
Love isn’t always meant to last forever
Occasionally a temporary muse
Love can be a lesson
A lesson for us to love others better
Or a lesson to love ourselves better
Nonetheless I shall choose love every time
I shall heal my wounds from the heartaches before
I shall choose to be better
I refuse to let love turn me into unrecognizable version of myself
I refuse to lose myself
Here is a reminder to choose love
For love is meant to be shared
so take all the time to heal
For I refuse to be the reason someone learns to hate to love
I choose LOVE
- Priscilla R Romero (I Choose Love)

Sonnets of Stillness
In the quiet chambers of my soul,
Ennui emerges, an uninvited toll.
A stagnant river, flowing slow,
Symbolic echoes of a tranquil woe.
The clock ticks with a lethargic beat,
A weighty anchor, grounding fleet.
Shadows linger, a silent plea,
Drowning in a sea of apathy.
The caged canary's song has waned,
Melancholy notes in solitude sustained.
A wilted rose, once vibrant red,
Now sighs in petals, dreams long-fled.
A sepia painting of a sunlit day,
Colors muted, joy in disarray.
The pendulum swings in languid grace,
Time suspended in a listless space.
In the tapestry of ennui, threads are spun,
Each representing dreams undone.
The moon, a distant, indifferent muse,
Casts pallid light on emotions abused.
A lonely boat adrift on a tranquil lake,
Ripples of ennui in its wake.
The worn-out novel on the shelf,
Pages yellowed, mirroring the self.
Yet, within ennui's silent reign,
Seeds of introspection may sustain.
For in the quiet, there lies a chance,
To find renewal, to break the trance.
In ennui's grip, emotions entwined,
A canvas of the soul, deeply defined.
A journey through the shadows' art,
Seeking solace in a weary heart.

Solitude
Solitary
In my stance
Let the waves
Wash over
In a hypnotic trance
Catch a breath
In a gulp of a frantic glance
Touch the crests
In a dream per chance
Sigh of latent wisps
Fragile in the last dance
Hold on to the delicate treads
Caress the moon in the deep expanse
Flow with the atmospheric rhythms
Grasp the air in a invisible prance
Undercurrent begins to swell
Acuity in the tow adheres to farewell
Swimming to the island enhanced
By the blooms of the violet Immortelle
I see my life woosh by in a flash
Startled jolted anew
On the discovery of happenstance

Feeling enough is a luxury in the world that showcasing perfection
It might seem like a bare minimum,
a self-defeating decision,
even tho it might be the only way to remain more or less sane...
Yes,
To live normalizing imperfections...
Seeing beauty in them,
Not judging others for having them,
And ultimately, not hating ourselves for having them...
We are all perfectly imperfect after all.
