Moving On 101

Moving on 101 - Is there really a guide for such thing? I don’t know. It’s different for each person - how to handle bad break-ups, how to move on. Some could take it easy, enjoying the freedom and the life of being “unattached” while some take it the hard way, sulking with guilt all night or crying herself to sleep.

It’s hard to give friends (who just broke up with her partner) an advice that she needs to hear. When you put yourself in that same situation, you tend to just understand and pity the people involve. Good or bad break-up - it doesn’t matter. Fact is, you still broke up, whatever reason it is.

I had my heart broken real bad twice. And so I understand if I see friends crying over a boy or a girl for that matter. I’ve been there, almost the same situation. But there are still times that I don’t understand why my friends still choose to stay in a relationship that would just give them pain, those that they know would crush their hearts. It is definitely being stupid. I guess love and stupidity coincides with each other from time to time. I admit of being “stupidly” in lovebefore. I was young. We all go through that stage, right? But there’s always a time where you’re just fed up with all the bullshits thrown at you that you learn to accept the sad and bitter truth that it’s never going to work out. You’ll later realize that enough is enough. Day by day you would be able to gather the strength to let things be and just move on with your life. The tears you have shed will eventually dry up and the scars from kneeling down, pleading for them to come back, would later on heal by itself. Remember, everyone has their limits. When you reach that point, there’s no turning back, there are no regrets. You did what you could. You just couldn’t save a relationship that is bound to fall from the start.

I totally understand if my friends choose to be slaves of stupidity, whether it be for a month or even for years. I just hope and pray that one day they would be able to see that their happiness lies not only with the ones they are with now. And that love is everywhere, they don’t need to go searching for it. Most of all, I hope that them being overly “gaga” wouldn’t go to waste. In layman’s term, I hope the person they choose to love, deserves to be loved that way.

Respect. Love. Trust. Truth. Understand. Patience. Talk.
