Have A Cup of Coffee With Me: That Sort Kind of Feeling

There's something I want you to know about me babe. I am the type of person who embrace the soul within. All emotions, all the flaws, all the imperfect things about me is what makes me who I am. I am stubborn, but not a bad person.  I mean, for someone who knows who she is, who is (mostly!) comfortable with who she is and who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, I experience a ton of conflicting thoughts. If anyone actually took a look in my mind, they’d probably find lots and lots of floating question marks. You’d think that would be a good thing, right? It means I’m constantly questioning and wondering and forming and re-forming my thoughts, but sometimes, it’s just all too overwhelming. And if I’m being honest, it’s usually just plain annoying. Here's one of them, I always make sure that the interest of others goes before me, or their happiness goes first before me. We all have skeletons in our closet that must be buried and bids our farewell. I can speak for other people too, who might think the way I think about themselves or others.

You see babe, I got lost a lot of times I wander in the dark searching for a flicker of light. I prayed in silence wishing I can see it, then you happen to stumble upon me and help to show the way but do you know I see that light in you. I followed you through and never to look back again. I prayed for you ever since, my true love waits seminar won't get into waste so eventually it does happen in real life. I'm a true believer and a witness that I can share to people that true love can happen in the least you expect it. But it is me, just me and all of me that you can see and we all believe in "what you see, is what you get."

My dark days are over, I am free and I am filled with joy and peace. I close my eyes and think about the possibilities that I can do for myself, the possibilities we can do. It was something so amazing to tell. It is like two forces waiting to collide. My dark days are over, because I choose to let go, I choose to take that one step and be over with it.

After all, I’m only one person. I’m just Ivy— an awkward woman  living in the typical suburban Cavite. Besides, don’t you think it would bordering on arrogant to think that you can speak for thousands and thousands of people who maybe think the same way as I am? But that's impossible I guess. I’ve always believed in the power of telling your story and the greatest, most beautiful thing about that?? No one can tell your story except you. No one can speak for you. No one can take that power away from you. It’s yours. It’s something you have to do for yourself because you’re the only one who knows who you are, how you feel and, most importantly, how you live your life. So it’s YOUR STORY and certainly no one else’s.

So thank you for being that light.

xoxo,

Ivy
