Choosing Yourself Quotes 소설 & 이야기

Family gathered. Close friends. People who mattered. Our children standing just a few steps away, watching with curious eyes. I stood across from him again. Not as the woman I was before. But as someone who had lived, grown, fought, loved… And stayed. “I choose you,” I said softly. “Not just for what we have. But for everything we’ve been through to get here.” His gaze didn’t waver. “And I choose you,” he replied. “Every version of you. Every moment. Every day.”

I think about something na pwede kong itanong sa kanya hanggang sa may naisip ako. "If dadating yung oras na kailangan mong pumili between me and yourself, who would you choose?" I said directly. I don't know but that question suddenly pop up on my mind. I'm hoping that he would choose himself but iba ang isinagot nya. "You of course." he answered while looking at me. "Why don't you choose yourself, Chase?" agad kong tanong. "Simple, I won't be who I am without you."

“Pero pinipili mong manatili rito.” Tumigil ako sa ginagawa. Binalingan ko siya tingin. “Oo, may choice ako. Pero hindi lahat ng choice, maganda. Yung iba, desperado. At kung nasaan ka ngayon, kung anong ginhawa ang meron ka, hindi mo ‘yon nakuha sa pagpili mo. Sa swerte mo ‘yon. Kami? Wala kaming swerte. Araw-araw kaming lumalaban para mabuhay.”

“Hindi mo pa nga ako nabibigyan ng maayos na chance para patunayan ang sarili ko sayo at ang nararamdaman ko, pero alam ko sa sarili kong hindi mo talaga ako pipiliin!” “Hah!” Napataas ang kilay niya at pinag cross ang mga kamay sa harap ng kaniyang dibdib, “giving you a chance and choosing you are different thing, Jake!” Mariin niyang sagot, “nakiusap ka na bigyan kita ng chance at patunayan ang sarili mo so I let you, pero hindi ako nagkulang na tanggihan ka. Isa pa, hindi ako nangako na pipiliin kita sa dulo.”

Gusto kong malaman kung hanggang saan ba ang kaya ko. Bumuntonghininga siya. “I guess I don’t have a choice?” he asked. Napangiti ako kaagad. “I know that you can grow on your own. I know that you’ll have a better career ahead of you. Because you are Meylie Anette. You can do anything.”

Ewan ko ba, bakit kasi ngayon ko lang narealize na tama pala ang nabasa kong quote. 'Of all people, my heart could have chosen, it decided on a boy who didn't have enough room in his own heart to love someone like me.' Damn. It hit me hard.

Mayamaya natahimik siya tapos humawak sa braso ko at bahagyang pinisil iyon. "And if I was you, I will choose these person who is always at my side and ready to listen in every rants and hates. You should choose these person because he really concede everything he had just to be with you... you should choose," uminom muli siya ng alak bago nagsalita. "Me." He continued tapos tumawa ng pagak.

And when you teach yourself that you de-serve to be loved, without having to beg for that love, without having to chase that love down, you open yourself to the kind of beauty that chooses you just as freely as you choose it. I deserve to be chosen. I deserve to be loved the way i love others.

"I always believe that striving to be the best is not about a life of constantly beating or competing with other people so that you can be at the top. It's not about stepping down others so you can be above, rather, it is conquering a greater enemy other than the people around you. And that person is you...yes you! The person in front of you when you're looking at the mirror, nothing but you and yourself. " "Everyone fails but not all who fail is a failure, for failures are only for those who did not have the courage to stand up after they fall." I paused and look at them again, remembering the younger version of myself. Remembering those times that I stopped believing in myself, those times

“I did everything. I gave you everything I have. And I can give you anything you want. Just please, choose me. Kahit ikaw na lang ang pumili sa ‘kin, kontento na ako, Alana. Halos lahat ng gusto ko ay siya palagi ang pinipili, sa kanya palagi napupunta. This time, please choose me. Is it that hard to love someone like me? I can change. I can be the man of your dreams.” Mahina siyang umiling dito. “It’s not how it works, Yuen. You can’t convince someone to choose you. Hindi mo pwedeng ipilit ang sarili mo sa mga bagay na hindi naman para sa ‘yo. Something is really meant for you. Something is really made for you and you don’t have to ask or beg them to choose you because it will always choose
