You are entitled to what you feel


There comes a time when you really like someone you'd do anything and everything for them.

Even to the point of controlling your anger and extending your patience to the little things that they do that hurt you. 
After a while, I realized this is wrong.

You should embrace how you feel because you are entitled to it.
If they cannot handle it, then it's not your problem. It's not your fault. There's nothing wrong with you.

Sometimes we underestimate a person's understanding. Maybe they'll understand, maybe they won't.
But if they do understand, then that's the time you should let down your pride.

Don't feel guilty getting frustrated or getting hurt.
Don't withhold how you feel because you want to please them.
Most of all, if they think you're too dramatic then you already have a clue. It's as simple as they cannot accept you at your worst. 

At this age, it's hard to decipher if what we're feeling is what we really do feel or we're just caught up in the moment. 
Teenagers are very melancholic and we give priority to love more than we should.

But again, it's not something we should feel guilty about.
It might be a phase or it might be who we really are.

As long as it doesn't hurt anyone why should we withhold giving love to a person we like?
In the same way, why should we keep all these pain if this is what we really feel?

There's someone who's going to understand you.
They're going to be patient with your #12amhits tweets.
Kiss your eyes or hold your hand or even just put there arm around you when you cry.
Just be there even when you insist you want to be alone.


We all want big things, but deep inside, I believe all we want is assurance.

Assurance that we don't look like fools being gaga over someone we like/love.
Assurance that the person cares for what we feel.
Assurance that someone really wants to listen to you genuinely.
Assurance that a person doesn't want to hurt you and even if they do hurt you, would still care for you after a fight.

Assurance that they won't judge you. That they'd accept you. Your sense of style, your humor, your priorities in life.

Someone who will assure you that you are entitled to what you feel. 

It's hard waiting around for someone who doesn't really care how you feel.
It's easier to wait for someone who will.

If you feel sad today, (even if it's because of the rain) then be sad.
If you feel happy, share your happiness with everyone and anyone.
If you're feeling afraid, then confront your fears.

It's okay not to be okay.
After all, the truth will set you free.
