Isa Garcia Quotes

Ang pag-ibig parang rubber band na hawak ng dalawang tao on both ends. Kapag bumitaw yung isa, yung nag-hold on ang masasaktan.

Love is fierce and love is fearless. Love is not afraid to take risks. It does not count the cost. It holds no measuring stick against the infinite. It does not compromise. It is relentless and passionate and big. Love does not hesitate to give, because love is not self-entitled. It does not stop to think about what it deserves because love lays down all its rights. It will concede to the possibility of getting trampled on. But even then, it will persist. Love refuses to be tied down by fear.

Love keeps you safe. It does not belittle you or make you feel ugly. When love touches you, it is with a softness that reminds you of how beautiful you are. Love accepts that you are not perfect and love does not demand that you change. Love patiently waits for you to reach your potential. And if you never do, love loves anyway. Love does not put its hands around your throat. Love is all about you breathing because love is all about life. Love wants to watch you thrive and grow; it never attempts to stifle or wreck or manhandle. Love’s presence is inviting enough for you to trust it. It won’t blackmail you, it won’t force you to bow down in fear. Love prays that it will always be enough to kiss away the scars in your heart for good.

To “belong” is to say “I want to walk with you for as long as I can” and to savour everything, even the unspectacular moments, because people can never be owned. They can only ever be loved.

So when people leave, I’ve learned the secret: let them. Because, most of the time, they have to. Let them walk away and go places. Let them have adventures in the wild without you. Let them travel the world and explore life beyond a horizon that you exist in. And know, deep down, that heroes aren’t qualified by their capacity to stay but by their decision to return.
