The Bus To Moving On

"Every day is a new day, and you'll
never be able to find happiness
if you don't move on."

- CARRIE UNDERWOOD

Come with me and take this short trip on the Bus to Moving On. We will visit all of these nostalgic, hurtful yes, but great memories of our past. Heads up, this tour is not only for those who are broken-hearted and those who just broke up. This tour is also for those who wants to move-on with all aspects of their life --- past mistakes, wrong decisions, lost job, death of a loved one, etc. Remember, Jason Mraz' song told us,

"May the best of your today
be the worst of your
tomorrow..."

Now, let's go!

The bus will take us to our first to the Museum Of The Best Memories. Here you can see your memories with a certain person, or event, or place. These memories are enclosed in with Untangling Glass of Hopes, with the name itself, hoping that these will come back. Mistake #1. We can never move on if we are still have hopes on our pasts. Hopes must be placed on the right moment --- the future. The future forms different options for us, and that is in our hands. The past? It should always serve as a lesson, not a regret. Here in this museum, the Great Paintings of Gifts are displayed. Mistake #2, we hold on to these material things. One thing... LET GO!

So? How was the museum. As we venture this bus trip, we are now passing the Street of What If's. The 143 What If Street is famous for these wall arts they called, Broken Plans. Here we ask ourselves the questions that we know, the answer is up to the void. Mistake #3, we tend to ask,

"What if I forgive him/her?"

"What if I just let that go?"

"What if I did this?"

And lots and lots of what if's. These walls are called the Broken Plans because it was named after all the plans you should have if these things never happened.

Come on! Long way to go. Now, we are at the I Am Not Worthy Park. Named after you losers, this park is for those who felt self-pity. Mistake #4, we break down. It is normal. What's not normal, is that we shut people down, especially our friends and families. We push ourselves down and dwell in the Pool of Tears. Also, I love Ed Sheeran. He sang,

"It's alright to cry.
Even my dad does sometimes..."

The figure of a strong man. The pillars of the home. He cries. It's because we're human. But we don't need to push ourselves down some more.

I think you are all hungry. Come. Let's grab something to eat at Papa She/He-Already-Found-Someone Diner. Here they serve the best, No More Cheesiness Burger, and the best-seller, Happy With Someone Meal. It is topped with the image of our love one enjoying other's companionship and not us. Mistake #5, doesn't mean he/she found someone or seeing someone already, we are losers. You are if you believe so. It also don't mean that we have to look for a person who can replace him/her. Do not base your worth with other's face value.

I think everyone's kind of tired? Don't worry. We're almost at your Find Your Happiness Hotel. This place is so relaxing. You can have the Jacuzzi with Friends and enjoy pleasing conversations. Forget the pain and look for something that will make you, truly happy. Then again, if anytime you feel the need to forget and reminisce at the same time, take the Bus to Moving On.

Remember, moving on is a process. It takes time. Take the bus trip. After all, the unwanted feelings may occur, pain may stuck in your heart, at the end of the day, you are on your own. And it's not so bad. Find happiness in solitude. Find yourself in the midst of the calm.

Have a good day!
