The Art of Letting Go
a/n: it’s 1:15 AM. It’s been two years since I’ve last love.
Everything in bold letters was not originally written by me, I just found it on you tube and somewhat I relate it to myself.

One of the reasons why people get so sentimental…
It’s because memories are the only things that don’t change.
No one should blame us for being very sentimental person. Memories don’t change, the harder we try to forget, the longer it stays deep within us.
There are things in life that you cannot hold on forever, no matter how much you fight for it…
Sometimes destiny isn’t always good, it becomes playful.
We cannot fight in a battle without holding a shield. We cannot fight for love if the one we’re fighting for doesn’t want to fight for us. What for?
When you met someone you learned to love, you thought that it was destiny that made your paths cross…
But what if making your paths cross is just a part of a game that playful destiny creates?
Would you be ready to gamble?
Making you realize in the end that the person you thought was destined for you wasn’t really meant to stay.
Would you be willing to fight for what is destiny saying?
But only destined to make you feel love and leave you when you’ve already fallen.
Or would you be ready to accept the fact that you’ve fallen deeply madly in love with someone who’s not worth your love?
It’s not easy to state a reason when you decided to leave your love…
Leaving the one you love doesn’t always mean that you don’t love that person anymore. It’s just a goddamn reason to end the discussion! ‘Cause I believe that once a person loves another person, it would never be easy to be fallen out of love with that person. Because if you does? Then, that’s DEFINITELY NOT love that you felt.
Some might think it’s just an excuse… some might not believe you.
Some will blame you… some might even be mad at you.
So why ask?
So why continue giving reasons to people who have closed themselves in believing others’ thoughts?
What they don’t see is the fact that…
It hurts you more to hurt someone who doesn’t deserve to be hurt.
But what else could we do when this is the only thing that seems so right when everything seems so wrong.
Especially when you cannot actually state the reason why you have to leave
…and all you can do is to leave, knowing that he would DEFINITELY hate you.
You can never own something that is not really yours…
So let’s stop on gripping on things we expect to last forever.
There’s no such thing as forever. Forever is created only on our minds… for us to believe that anything may last a lifetime.
Nothing lasts forever. Forever is a lie. Everything is transitory.
So while you have something in your hand, put it in mind that it’s just borrowed.
Treat it like a fragile glass who you have to take care of not to break into pieces.
So that someday, when it’s gone, it won’t take you to eternity just to let it go.
So that someday, it won’t be hard for you to pick up the pieces that were broken.
When your feelings get strong for someone, it’s always wise to stop for a while and give your heart a time to breathe.
We should not grab the chance of falling in love every time. Not everyone who falls fell perfectly on the ground.
A time to use your time to weigh the situation based on reason not on emotion.
Sometimes it’s not always our emotion that’s important. There will come a time that we’d realize how much reason explains everything.
Because the saddest thing that can happen is when one fall in love, while the other wants nothing but friendship.
It always happens. We expect more than what we have. Every people acts differently, and you’re unlucky if you’ve met a person who might be the sweetest and romantic one, not knowing that all he can offer is nothing but friendship.
Love can sometimes be magic, but magic can sometimes be an illusion.
It’s magic at first. Love is a magic at first…
And would also end like a magic. One snap…
…and it’s all gone.
There are times when I wish I was limited to certain emotions…
So that I’ll never experience pain, never feel betrayed or disappointed, and never get my fragile heart broken.
But how could it be so possible?
But the same thing means that I’ll never how it feels to love and be loved in return, the thought of it kind of scares me.
If all I’ve ever wanted is to love and love, and to be loved and loved.
To have a heart that’s whole but numb… or a heart that’s broken but real is enough.
Because I’d rather feel nothing than to continuously be hurt because of someone who doesn’t deservemy cries.
Someday we’ll all be looking back to those days we learned to love, get hurt, cry and fight.
Maybe when that time comes, we’ll all be laughing at our old dumb selves…
Realizing how stupid we are to stand for things we knew we’re not really meant for us.
But I guess learning takes time, and mistakes make one’s journey fun.
Life is what we make it, loves makes the world go round.
So let’s live, love and take whatever pain it brings.
Though it’s hard to wait for something I know would never happen.
It’s harder to stop when I know it’s everything I’ve always wanted…
But you know what??? I’m glad, I’m glad it happened.
Were good friends… and I’m happy for that.
Knowing that after we’ve been hurt so bad, having them as one of our closest friend is one of the most thankful thing that might happen :))
