I was looking for filipino creatives here on Substack. Happy to see you here, Abbey! I was 12 when I got my first heartbreak. It was morning ceremony and he was already talking to another girl? I went to the clinic bec. I couldn't handle it — I wanted to die. I smile whenever I remember it. I'm happy for that experience. It is exactly that ... an experience! To get to feel. Makes me feel human, and it's nice to be reminded of that. But not all the time please haha.

I had this bittersweet feeling reading your post 🥹💔❤️‍🩹💖 …

Despite the heartbreak, do we wish we had never experienced it? 🤔

As Alfred Lord Tennyson put it: “‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all…” Agree or disagree? 🤔

Also replayed Snow on the Beach non-stop during this period, what a song! My favorite part is the anticipation and pause after "Can this be a real thing can it?" ---- "are we falling for?" 😩 too good

Love it. Heartbreaks are part of falling in love, but always very revealing of a new part of you ❤️ I enjoyed reading, especially with the references. Looking forward to more.
