From Our Readers: To the Guy I Liked And I Assumed Liked Me Back

When we like someone, we instantly see all his actions towards us in a different light.

That sideway glance that was accidentally thrown into your direction would instantly be perceived by your hopeful heart as him trying to catch a glimpse of you when you think you don't notice.

You would try so hard for him to notice you, and when he finally does, it's like heaven suddenly opened and a divine force has been bestowed upon you.

From Our Readers: Here's the Apology Letter You Owe Me

I am writing this on the night I called it off, exactly after I sent you my last message. I think you must be—no, I know you are crying right now. And I wish I could tell you how much I want to be with you right now, to wipe your tears, hug and console you, kiss your head and tell you that it's fine, that everything's going to be all right—but I couldn't. I couldn't bear to see your face when I know I'm the cause of your sorrow, when I know I'm the reason why you're hurting. What makes it all the worse is I never gave you a decent break up nor presented an acceptable reason for my abrupt decisions. And yes, that I am aware of, that I am guilty of. I know saying "I fell out of love" is the oldest, lamest, and most overused and unjustifiable excuse so I'm finally setting you free from the agony. For all the times you will probably cry yourself to sleep, thinking what you did wrong or if you weren't enough to make me stay or what my reasons were, I ask for forgiveness. I'm sorry you have to belittle yourself. I'm sorry you'll have to conquer the pain on your own. I'm sorry you'll never know why I had to let you go. Well, at least not for now.

How to Grow Up According to The Little Prince

via theverge.tumblr.com

First things first: "Growing up is not the problem. Forgetting is." Forgetting the little kid in you, the natural impulse to come out and play, the sheer joy of making a new friend and spending the day doing whatever your heart desires. This is what The Little Prince reminds us in the movie adaptation that weaves the original story with a new one about an overachieving young girl pressured to do even better at school. Her life is planned by the minute, leaving room to hang out with new friends, say, next summer for half an hour a weekday.

From Our Readers: Yin-Yang: The Story of the Sun and the Moon

We make people happy, because we thought we are their happiness and vice-versa.
But when the Sun stared at the Moon and she finally realized, "No, I think I'm not,"
All of those happy memories start flashing in front of her light.
Not all the good times are enough to fill someone's jar of hearts.

She didn't know what to do, the Sun didn't know what to do.
All the confidence built by happy times crashed by a glimpse of the moonlight.
That's how fast everything moves in the modern time.
"I'll walk away, but I want to stay", the Sun told herself.
