Loyola: PHOTOGRAPHER (LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA) I love Albert Einsteins - “A life lived for others, is the only life worth living.” And I BELIEVE... that one day, everybody will practice Pay It Forward DANCE WITH A STRANGER TOTAL STRANGERS All my life I felt lost, I feel like I dont have directions. I feel like I am a total stranger even to my own self. I asked a lot of questions, but a lot remained unanswered. Questions about the past, the present and what the future holds for me. Surely I am not alone in this dilemma? I will not be surprised if a lot of other people go through the same thoughts that are constantly passing through my mind. Like other people, I tend to dwell on my past... The mistakes I had committed, wrong decisions I had made, wrong people I trusted and a lot of other wrongs and mistakes that normally occurs in anybodys life. I dwell on them so much that soon I find myself hiding behind these mistakes. Hiding from the truth... Hiding even from my own self. I dwell on them till I have no more energy left to hide. I started to be depressed. I lost the ambition to do much of anything. I feel down.... I feel I let myself down, I know I let others around me down. I have almost everything that life has to offer. I should be grateful. But still I am not. I cant understand this lingering emptiness in me. Everything around me is black and white or so it seems. Thats how bleary is my present state... Until you came along..... I became excited, agitated... tremulous, unsure. I had mixed emotions I dont know anymore what I feel. I was like a spider thread dancing with the breeze. It was as if in you finally my soul found an anchor. Through all those times of waiting... Not knowing if I am destined to be lonely for the rest of my life or if I will be blessed with a life filled with immeasurable happiness with my soulmate. My soulmate whose voice can pull me out of this emptiness and darkness and guide me to the place where happiness abounds and time is endless... HEARTBEAT At first glance... I saw your first smile and and heard your first word.. There is no denying how our worlds turned upside down from the very moment we had our first glance. Right from the very first time we held each others arms until we both heard the sounds of our hearts beating. We held on to each other wishing for time to stop and stand still. Hoping our worlds would unite together, ignoring the pain and the uncertainty of loving a total stranger... ECHOES OF OUR HEARTS Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts, dance to its beats. With every step and with every move yes we might fall but we will strive to stand up and move on. Weaknesses may grow, differences will follow... When we fall in love with someone, we dont want that feeling to end... We want it to last forever. For it encompasses everything that we are and symbolizes everything we wanted to be. You cannot deny what our hearts cry and long for, regardless of how many times we stumble and fall.. SECONDS WITH YOU How I love the look in your face whenever you smile at me. I love your laugh, I love your touch, I love the feel of your hands on my hands whenever we are dancing. I love every second I spend with you, every step in every dance, replaying every moment. But I cant help but wonder who are you a complete stranger dancing so passionately with me. DARKEST MOMENT Darkness is threatening to loom over. I am almost losing hope. But believing there is always light at the end of every tunnel, I struggled to move on... But you were there. At the end of the rope, you were there... To catch me. You never really abandoned me. Through my darkest hour I heard your voice whispering everything will be alright. Then all around me suddenly turned bright... like sun rays spreading light all the way through all the darkest corners of our minds... helping me to stand after the seeming endless fall from oblivion. But how? How can I tell you that I am falling in love with you. How can I ask you to stay if my mind is clouded with lingering doubts. I dont really know you and I know this feeling can bring me pain but I how can I not love you... You had become my spirit and my very essence, my joy and my happiness, the love and temptation. You are the answer to my fervent prayers whispered with only half a hope of being fulfilled. I revel in the freedom of being enclosed in your arms, everything you say and do will forever be etched in my heart. THE PROPOSAL You were a STRANGER the first time..., then you became my friend and now you had turned into a rock that makes the foundation for my universe. Your strength sustains me. To you I entrust my heart... AND I hope to be with you not only for the rest of your life but also for the rest of mine. WHEN GOD MADE YOU Before I could even ask, God already gave you to me... He knew what I wanted even before I did. I want to believe that God had made you for me... And so the song kept playing in my mind... When God made you, He must have been thinking about me... https://vimeo/113789958
