From Our Readers: Do You Believe In Signs?

Do you ever wish that you could just know the answer to everything—to every what, to every when, to every why? Feeling confused and bothered keeps me awake at night for I can't figure out its inception. Constant flashbacks of happenings are running through my mind, analyzing each moment very well, pinpointing each detail to its core. But no matter how hard I try, I just can't sort out the reason. Frustration crawls in, followed by deep thoughts caused by "why?" The next thing I know, it's morning and it's time to wear mask, time to conceal the feelings that I've been hiding from you for months.

From Our Readers: Thoughts at 3AM

They say that falling in love for first time is the sweetest yet it's the most painful of all. I surely didn't believe that before not until I experienced it on my own. My first love was not the typical love for it was an unrequited love. I know you may think that I'm crazy but I also think that, too.

People say that when you like someone for three to four months it means that you already love them and I agree. Why? Simply because I had liked you for more than a year before I could even admit it to myself that I love you already. It took me almost three years to have the courage to tell you how I feel but I still didn't reveal my identity. It took me a year after to finally admit it was me who has loved you since sophomore year of high school and another year had passed before I knew what you felt towards my confession.

From Our Readers: To the One Who'll Always Keep Me Wondering

I stay up late at night, hoping I could get another phone call from you. You haven't shown yourself since the last time I saw you. That was the time you had to take the long path just to avoid me. I kept asking myself about why you had to do that but I lied to myself and thought maybe you're too embarrassed to show yourself to me.

I never really understood you until we developed something I can't even give a label because I don't know what it was. I know we had something special going on, but I never wanted to keep my hopes high. You leisurely opened the door that lead to your life for me. From the fact that you like a bunch of ladies but you're just not ready for any commitment because you're way too torpe to the most sensitive problem you had and I think you still have—your family.
