History Repeats Itself Quotes Novels & Stories

Pero puso ko… ibang kwento ang sinisigaw. Ilang beses kong nilunok ang natuyong lalamunan ko bago magsalita. “George… you don’t know how many nights I wanted this, wanted to hear these from you. Pero natatakot ako. What if history repeats itself? What if we hurt each other again?” Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko, mahigpit, mainit. “Then we’ll fight for it this time.”

I did not turn to him again, hindi niya rin naman ako pinigilan kaya lumabas ako ng banyo nang tuluyan. I just did a mistake last night, at ayaw ko na ulitin ito muli. I should not be soft again. All those days that I practiced myself forgetting him, I don’t wanna waste it. Ayaw ko na magpaka-martyr muli. Gusto ko na magbagong buhay. Habang siya ay naliligo, pumunta akong kusina upang magtimpla ng kape. Isang tasa lang ang aking tinimpla, but then suddenly, an old memory flashed back.

"I don't want to be scared forever. Because tons of obstacles outside are waiting for me to face and overcome them. That will make me grow." Narinig ko ang mahinang paghikbi ni mama. Isang mapait na ngiti ang pinakawalan ko nang makita siyang nahihirapan sa mga nangyayari. Pero kailangan ko itong panindigan. "I don't want to spend my life dwelling on the tragic past and being scared that history might repeat itself. I'd rather die than killing my freedom to live."

sambit nito sa akin, saka mainam na pinagmamasdan ang mga nagliliparang paruparo sa himpapawid. “You just need to hurdle to make it through the end. Life is just like a wheel, sometimes youʼre in the top, but sometimes, youʼre in the bottom,” pagpapaliwanag ko. “Unfortunately, I donʼt typically believe on that quote. All my life, I didnʼt felt that I had been in the top. For me, I can definitely define that life is survival. You have to do something to survive in this complicated world. Even you have to do something bad that can harm a personʼs feeling,” pangangatuwiran nito sa akin, saka bumuga ng hangin. “I wish I didnʼt exist on this world. Even if I exist, I wish I have died back then. I

tanong ko. Iniling niya sandali ang ulo at umiwas ng tingin. "I think I can also apply it too now. But not the exact qoute." "Huh?" grabe ano na naman ba ang pinagsasabi nitong anak ko? "Instead, I will apply the 'Forgive but never forget' quote line, not the different version you used." saad pa niya at napanganga na lang ako.

haplos na lang nito sa kanyang braso, "sabi nga nila, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Umakto pa itong parang lumalaban habang sinasabi ang mga katagang iyon. "Hindi ba kanta iyon?" natatawa niya na lang na saad. "Shut up, wag mo sirain ang moment." Pinunas na lang ni Paloma ang kamay sa kanyang mukha para pigilan siya sa pagtawa, "iyon na ang pinaka-magandang quotes na naisip ko para sa sitwasyon mo," pabirong batok na lang nito sa kanya.

Different faces, but same cycle. Parang ganito na lang lagi: may lalapit, may titingin, may magko-comment, may mag-aassume, then I'll either explain myself or choose to stay silent. After that, I'll move forward... only to find myself in another version of the same situation. Cycle. That word keeps echoing in my head. Because that's exactly how it feels. Life is a cycle where you keep going through things you thought you already outgrew, just to realize may lesson ka pa ring hindi natutunan. Or maybe hindi pa talaga tapos, kaya paulit-ulit siyang bumabalik.

And her favorite qoute is "If you want something very badly, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with." Lleidzy told me once about it and it reminds me that he lied again. Hindi niya iyon nabasa sa libro, he heard it from me. Bata pa lang ako mahilig na talaga akong magbasa ng libro at madalas ay sinasamahan ako ni Lleidzy. If there's a quote that caught my attention or nagustuhan ko sinasabi ko ito kay Lleidzy.

–Ann Landers Tama si Ann, lilipas rin. Darating ang araw na makakalimot rin si Harah. Tipong hindi na tutulo ang luha niya sa sakit kundi dahil sa saya. Paulit ulit nireremind ni Harah ang sarili gaya ng sinabi sa quotes ni Alyson. Sabi niya: "The only thing a person can ever really do is keep moving forward.

Maaaring naging sobrang bobo ang pagtatangkang magpakamatay, pero ang sugat na iyon ang nagtulak sa kanya na tuluyang putulin ang koneksyon sa pamilya na matagal na siyang sinasaktan. Muling tumingin si Darien sa kanya. May apoy ng katatagan sa mga mata niya, parang sa gabing ito, bigla siyang tumanda at lumakas. “Alam mo ba yung kasabihang ‘Life keeps repeating the same lessons until you respond differently’?” tanong ni Darien, malumanay ang boses. “Parang kapag may unresolved issue ka, paulit-ulit ‘yang babalik hanggang matutunan mong harapin ng tama. At kapag natuto kang hindi na umiwas, doon mo talaga makikilala ang sarili mo.”
