Someday someone will love every inch of me – the fading sunset behind my eyes, the moonlight that dances through my hair, the sadness nestled in the creases of my palms. He is going to kiss all the parts I have kept hidden away and tell me how beautiful it all is. Someday someone is going to say, ‘I love all of you, not just the parts that make sense, not just the parts you have shown me. I love the parts of you that I don’t yet understand, the parts that weigh on your shoulders, the parts I only notice when I steal glances at you in silence.’ I will need to believe you, to believe that fairy tales were not written for princesses in glass slippers, that they were written for women who have collected all the pieces of a broken heart and can’t stand to put it together again. But most of all, I will need to believe that they were written for me.Someday someone will come to me with a happily ever after promise and slide it over my finger. Someday I will realize I am not the lucky one, I am the deserving one. Someday I am going to take someone’s breath away. Someday I will realize just how stunning I really am.

You deserve all those sleepless nights and that second cup of coffee. You deserve to be having a hard time, to be struggling your way through every single day because there’s no other way to make you realize how much you want your dreams to come true.

There are moments where you question yourself, ask why you didn’t just go the easier path. Sometimes you even blame other people for the hardships that you are encountering, pointing fingers, forgetting that you wouldn’t be where you are without them.

Sometimes it gets to a point where you just want to give everything up.

But even with all those challenges, you have to remind yourself that you deserve to be struggling because it reminds you to want it more.

Our greatest fear is if our dream isn’t for us. It is hard. But you also have to realize that it is okay to complain from time to time, to cry and breakdown.

You have to remember to be human.

Although it is easier to let your emotions eat you up, always remember that you have to do it; you have to get up and finish that case to understand the law so you can defend those who need it, or to continue to study that last page of your anatomy book so you can correctly diagnose patients and save lives, or maybe, you have to stay up not only for yourself but for everyone else so that the future will be brighter.

You have to keep in mind that you are where you are not only because of a dream or the desire to change the world but also because of the struggle of other people to help you reach your goal.

You are not alone in your journey to finishing your degree, so remember to thank everyone else who continuously pushes you to fight and believe.

Remember that you are struggling because you have to, that nothing good comes easy, and as cliché as it may be, remember that the fire that melts butter is the same fire that hardens steel.

I know how hard it is to remain strong or even to fake that I am strong. I admire myself being resilient amidst all the problems that I have. I always remember that dark days always come to an end.

I know that I am losing sleep and appetite but I always remember that every problem in our life happens for a reason. I might not understand the purpose of it for now, but at the right time definitely, I will. In every door that closes, new opportunities will surely come in my way.

I know that people come and go. People change. I cherish the people who stick with me. Let go the people who don't deserve me. Life is too short to be together with someone causing so much distress in my life.

I know I am not alone in life. I am loved. I am worth it. Better days are coming. I do not give up easily in life. I deserve better. I deserve all the happiness in the world. I swear, I will be FINE. My happiness and joy will be back and that is for sure.

I never knew that true love exists, I always get my heart shattered, people always leave and get tired of me. I only knew true love existed in fictions and movies. Every so often those couples I admired from afar that I thought would have a happily ever after ends up breaking up too, I have always thought that it is too good to be true. But then, you came into my life. I was hopeless before you even knew my name. You made me realize that true love does exist. You gave me this feeling that I never felt towards someone else before. Ever since you came, there is no one worth thinking about. I ended up believing in faith, destinies, and fantasies about love, you made every love story written in this world all worth believing and you changed my point of view, it is all because of you. True love is even though we are far away from each other, our hearts know that distance cannot rip us apart. True love is acceptance, I accept all your flaws, including your past and mistakes. All the things you hate about yourself but, I still find them beautiful. True love is patience, I am willing to wait with you, I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes, even if it takes a lifetime because I know everything will be worth it in the end. True love is selfless, I will always put you first rather than myself just to make you happy, I will always choose what is the best for you. True love is assurance, I trust you with all my heart; no doubts, uncertainty and suspicions. True love is not found, it is built, our love will grow as time passes by; it will be stronger. True love is not easy, there will be ups and downs; there will be challenges and sufferings, I am willing to face them all with you, I will never let go and I will always hold on. I never knew what they meant by true love until I met you. True love is rare but I found it with you.
