"The letter in the postman's bag,
The caller at the door,
A meeting with a stranger.
What will it have in store?
Life need never be all that dull,
There's promise new each day,
Just open out your heart
To every chance that comes your way."

NIKITA GILL Quotes
"Damaged people love you like a crime scene before a crime has even been committed. They keep their running shoes by their souls every night, one eye open in case things change whilst they sleep. Their backs are always tense as though waiting to fight a sudden storm that might engulf them. Because damaged people have already seen hell. And damaged people understand that every evil demon that exists down there was once a kind Angel before it fell." ~Nikita Gill
“Girls like her were born in a storm. They have lightning in their souls. Thunder in their hearts. And chaos in their bones.” ~Nikita Gill
"I will not give up the flowers in my heart for stones just because the world is a hard place. The world is only hard because it needs more flower hearted people." ~Nikita Gill
"If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself." ~Nikita Gill
“She wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell." ~Nikita Gill
“Some days I am more wolf than woman, and I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild.” ~Nikita Gill
"Some girls are full of heartache and poetry and those are the kind of girls who try to save wolves instead of running away from them." ~Nikita Gill
"Some people survive and talk about it. Some people survive and go silent. Everyone deals with unimaginable pain in their own way, and everyone is entitled to that, without judgment. So the next time you look at someone's life covetously, remember … you may not want to endure what they are enduring right now, at this moment, whilst they sit so quietly before you, looking like a calm ocean on a sunny day. Remember how vast the ocean's boundaries are. Whilst somewhere the water is calm, in another place in the very same ocean, there is a colossal storm." ~Nikita Gill
"The bravest thing you can ever do, is to stay kind and soft even when the world has been cruel to you." ~Nikita Gill
"The truth about your heart: Your heart will fix itself. It's your mind you need to worry about. Your mind where you locked your memories, your mind where you have kept pieces of the ones that hurt you, that still cut through you like shards of glass. Your mind will keep you up at night, make you cry, destroy you over and over again. You need to convince your mind, that it has to let go … because your heart already knows how to heal." ~Nikita Gill
"Writers are dangerous people. Never take a writer for granted. They are snipers armed with words. They know how to aim with sentences, how to fire with paragraphs, and how to immortalise their skills with verse." ~Nikita Gill
“You are damaged and broken and unhinged. But so are shooting stars and comets.” ~Nikita Gill
“You must understand: they fear you. There is nothing scarier in their minds than a girl who knows the power of her flames.” ~Nikita Gill
"Your ancestors did not survive everything that nearly ended them for you to shrink yourself to make someone else comfortable....This sacrifice is your warcry, be loud, be everything and make them proud." ~Nikita Gill

Teddyboy Tagle Quotes
"A decayed culture takes a generation to renew itself, without the CBCP interfering and imposing its influence." ~Teddyboy Tagle (2018)
"Perhaps the real lesson to be learned here (sic) is that the Filipino people are, quite simply, incapable of succeeding collectively under any circumstances. In short, there really is no “inclusive growth” to aspire for, because, in truth, the spoils of economic growth are exclusively for the picking of individuals and families who possess cluey enough minds and spot-on enough attitudes to recognise opportunities when these come knocking.
In reality, Filipinos have no excuse for failure. They are custodians of a land rich in natural resources situated in a region that is one of the most if not the most enterprising in the world. People who are destined for astounding wealth and greatness overcome the odds and navigate around all the roadblocks. They do not make them excuses to fail." ~Teddyboy Tagle, November 25, 2017
"Struggles are required in order to survive in life, because in order to stand up, you gotta know what falling down is like." ~Teddyboy Tagle

“I have to say that I’m impressed by the boldness that our government is showing. We are a nation that has gotten used to incremental steps forward. But as you can see from the dialogue that we had today, there is a sense of boldness in the way people are looking to the future. That is something that you generally see more in the private sector than the public sector. " ~Zobel de Ayala at a recent economic forum in Singapore attended by the Philippines’ economic managers.
"Throughout our history as a country, there have been periods of time when we felt insecure, during periods of high debt and when our economy was weak. I’ve always argued that thinking ‘bold steps’, whether you are in the private sector or the public sector, are important psychological states of mind to be in when you want to succeed in a much bigger way.” ~Zobel de Ayala

May maasahan pa ba ako?
Maiintindihan ko pa ba ang diwa at hiwaga ng buhay?
Baka hindi na.
Hindi na rin siguro magkakaroon ng katuparan

Nancy Arroyo Ruffin - Colour outside the lines
“I will teach my daughter to color outside the lines, to make mistakes, to take risks, and not be afraid to fail. I will teach her that even when the world tries to knock her down the best revenge is getting up and forging ahead. I will teach her to be brave enough to be different, to stand up for what's right. To never quiet her voice to make someone else feel comfortable. Because no one remembers the person that fits in. It's the one who stands out that people won't be able to forget.” ~Nancy Arroyo Ruffin

"I walk a new path on this late part of day, feeling at peace with the scenic trail and sharing the pulse of nature all around me. My thoughts are light enough to be carried along with the dove’s airy call. I’m not feeling overwhelmed with finding the many penetrating answers to life’s biggest questions.

And I do not sense any need to seek and uncover the deepest of spiritual reason. Instead, I simply yield to settling into the heart of where I am, right now.
