As free as a bird? Not yet.


I can't wait to finish my studies and get away from everything here. It will be a fresh start.

I wasn't made to stay in one place. Its my job and my desire to explore more and see whats out there. Away from where I am now, away from the people I know now.

When I think of it, it might be difficult for me. But what is life without risk? We all ought to take risks and see our capabilities and we shall see how far we can go.

From where I stand right now, my longing is bounded. I can't spread my wings too wide because something will eventually catch me and tie my wings up. I'm not as free as a bird now but I will be, someday.

People that I've met had taught me different things and had helped me in finding myself. I thank them for that. I still am finding myself and I guess will never stop. Its soul searching...

Some people are nice to me, super nice. But some can be harsh. I'm thankful for the friends I have, for those who love me. Friends are the family you choose for yourself, they say. Family is a gift from God and it is truly a great blessing to have them in my life. I fight with them a lot, we quarrel. I get annoyed, most of the time. I get mad, when they ask me to do so many things at once because I'm not a robot and I hate being bossed around. But what is family without all that?

I can't wait until the day comes. When I finally get to release the chain and set my wings free. I wonder where will they lead me to. I wonder where will they bring me. The world is huge, they can take me anywhere..

Not Antarctica I hope.

Love me or own me? You choose.



When a guy likes you, they feel like they own you and they think you're in their possession. That is not being overprotective, that's overpowering. And its so not cool. We are not a property who needs an owner.

I'm not generalizing nor am I being sexist. I'm saying this from what I've experienced.

I won't generalize because I know not all men are like that. It depends on the individual himself. But unfortunately from I've encountered in the few, they are pretty much the same.

I'm not a sexist either because I know there are girls who act the same way. They feel like being in a relationship means they own the person and they can do whatever they want by holding that position.

We never own anyone. I don't own my partner and he doesn't own me. Not that I've been in a relationship before, but that is how its gonna work when I have one.

Its difficult and frustrating when people don't understand this simple method.

We love each other, not own each other.
