Nagkaroon ng bagong ako sa mga salita nayan.. Pero nung nakilala ko yung tamang tao, bigla kong napagtanto... NA HINDI MO KAILANGANG MAGING IBANG TAO PARA MAHALIN KA NG ISANG TAO.

Niloko man kami ng mga tao sa nakaraan namin, Pero atleast natuto kami. Mas lumakas kami. May tumapang kami. Sabi nga ng nabasa ko na quote, “When you get what you want, that’s God’s direction. When you don’t get what you want’s that’s God’s protection” ❤️❤️❤️ P.S... wala na kaming galit sa mga ex naming nanloko samin. Natapawad na namin kayo. Kasi kung hindi dahil sainyo, hindi namin makikilala ang isa’t isa. Ng dahil sa mga panloloko niyo, naging tulay pa.. PARA KAMI AY SUMAYA! Hihihihi! 👍 Kaya sa mga bitter parin sa ex nila, tanggalin mo yan.. hindi maganda yan! hindi darating sayo yung taong para sayo kung hanggang ngayon, nagiistalk kapa rin. Kung hanggang ngayon naninira kapa rin. Kung hanggang ngayon pinaniniwalaan mo parin yung sarili mong kwento para mapaniwala lahat tao, lalong lalo na sarili mo. Tutal ikaw NAGLOKO.
