Hi, thank you for reading. My name is Daniel D. Marquez and I am the owner of this journal. I am currently 20 years old, I live in Quezon City, and I am the youngest of one sibling. I have a bubbly, happy, and talkative type of personality. But the irony is, I am usually keeping that to myself until I personally know the person. The reason for that is because I am introverted and it always makes me shy to socialize. Nevertheless, I always make sure that I presented myself well and make the best impression among all of my first meet-ups. 

You can learn more about me by understanding my philosophy in life and that is; "Money is the root of all evil". It is rest assured that I will never lie and deceive for money because if I let myself be tempted with any amount, I might as well let myself be tempted with anything else, for the love of money is the root of all evil.

October 21, 2021

This is the day where my partner and I had a really big fight. The problem was so big that we vented out our inner emotions with each other and it did nothing but to further damage the already damaged relationship.

Every day seems like an effort and a struggle to keep holding on. Little by little, I can sense my emotion fading away. It's as if we suddenly stopped caring. It's Like something has changed. 

There are these old quotations that say, "Sometimes, holding on does more damage than letting go", "Love isn't enough to make a relationship last", and "If you feel like you're not being appreciated, move on." These are the quotations that I always believed in, thus these are my comforting words whenever one of my friends is broken-hearted. But it's indeed true, that it's always easier to be said than done. Once you are in that specific situation, everything seems different because your emotions are overwhelming enough to distract you from doing and deciding what's the right thing to do.

But the situation that I am in is definitely not the first time that I had experienced it, for I underwent splitting a lot of times before.

But you will never get used to the feeling. It's like a totally new experience. The pain is all over again...

Is it just me or do you just never learn with love? I still give my all to the person I love and when the time comes that they become so confident enough to just leave you all alone because you spoil and give them so much love that it doesn't scare them to lose you anymore. There is no greater regret than wasting all your time and effort on the person that you thought will forever be by your side.

But the situation that I have right now is a lot different than before. This time, we are madly in love with each other. There is no greater love than the other.

And I am certain with that because you just know it, you just feel it. We've been together for 22 months and your instinct will tell you everything that you need to know at this point. What seems to be the problem, then?
