“I want to fall into him. I want to let someone else carry this weight, even if just for a little bit. But it's been too long.”

Thoughts:
1. Sometimes talking to someone is the key
- You can never really accept or understand something or someone unless you talk them. Sometimes expressing what you feel towards a situation can help you overcome your worries and your frustrations. It can help you make a clearer view on things. It can help others understand you. Sometimes, miscommunication or lack there of can never really solve anything. It can just prolong the sorrow that exists. Talking to others just to vent out also gives you a relief because at least someone is listening and you get to hear their opinions. You may not like them or you might, but, in the end at least you were able to release those emotions that are clawing their way out.

2. A photo can give you a story but not the whole story
- It’s true that a photo can capture the beauty, the horror, the sadness or an emotion in one single click. It portrays the emotion during that one shot. Sometimes it gives us an emotion on which how we interpret it. But then when you look at it, we don’t really see everything with that picture. We only see that one side or one part of the story. In real life, we choose to give a part of ourselves to others because it’s what we can give. We don’t really meet one person then suddenly share everything with them. It will took time. It will took trust to do it.

3. Judging someone based on impression is not enough to know the person
- Being influenced by others is a major part of our everyday life. It’s not our fault if we think a certain way because initially it’s what we have come to know of. What changes that is when we come to have a closer and much more personal involvement with someone or something. Then we can get the chance to change our perspective.

4. Be brave, you choose your own path
- On the other side of the coin, you don’t accuse someone when they think of you as something negative. Sometimes you have to find that courage to prove them wrong and show them off. They don’t dictate who you are. You are the one who controls it. You actions and your words. Don’t ever forget that.

5. Falling in love in mysterious ways. Literally.
- This teen romance gets me soooo emotional I wanna cry all over again. Meeting each other the way they did is very unusual and beautiful at the same time. Mysteriously is the way to describe it. Having a secret name for being anonymous. Sometimes sharing your deepest darkest emotional secrets to a stranger that gets you is one way to let go. At least someone understands, right? All the ways they interact was also very extraordinary. It felt like the way the fight all the time is flirting. Ha! Anyway, i just want to say that I love how they come to get to know each other!!!!! Loved it so much!
