I'm feeling extremely drowsy this morning and merely consuming a cup of coffee isn't enough. I really need to file for leave of absence to get my body clock back on track. π€ Kung kailan nasa office na ako, saka ko pa naiisip na mag-leave ngayong araw. π Sayang naman yung pagpasok ko kung uuwi ako. Kung hindi ako uuwi, paano ako makaka-survive ngayong araw na groggy ako? What to do? What to dooo?

In our lifetimes, we are likely to be infatuated with three different people. First love is often a young love affair. It's inevitable that you'll drift apart and call it quits over trivial matters. When you get older, you may realize that it wasn't love. But in reality, it was. It was love as you knew it. And then there's our second love, the difficult one. In this one, you get hurt. This love teaches us lessons and strengthens us. This love comes with a lot of pain, lies,β¦

Just a random thought. β I'm a pro at letting go. As simple as that, I don't care if I'm on the fifth chapter of the book; if I'm no longer enjoying it, I'll drop it like a bad habit and move on with my life. Because, as I've learned, just because you've invested so much time, money, and effort in something doesn't mean it's still worthwhile to pursue. You must learn to detach yourself from those who no longer serve you and take you for granted. What's the point, after all?
