Hi,
it’s me again. It’s been quite a while since I last wrote a blog in here. Well a
lot of things happened this year. It’s been really crazy. Life’s crazy. And I’m
also crazy. Everything’s been a little bit of bumpy now. I am in a big mess. I’m
just so so so sad.
Love is something you don’t give up
easily. Love is something you fight for. Love is a beautiful feeling you share
with someone special. Love is patient, kind, it is not jealous, it’s not
self-seeking, it does not boast, it always hopes, always trusts, and always
perseveres. Love is not something that you just easily let go. It doesn’t work
that way.
What does it take to love someone
truly? Loving someone doesn’t always mean, you guys should always be happy,
loving someone doesn’t mean you guys should be together. It doesn’t mean you
should be boyfriend and girlfriend. When you truly love someone, you should
take her for who she is. Every single thing, may it be positive or negative. You
cannot choose to love a part of her and hate the rest; otherwise it’s not love
at all. When you say you love someone, you don’t just say it. Words really can’t
prove anything unless it is acted upon. Now when you say you love someone it
takes time and effort to prove it. When you say that you are in love with
someone, you should always check your heart if it is real, and it is not just
carried by an emotion at its current state. You can’t say that you’re in love
because, you feel really happy with her at the moment. That is not love. Love is
a sweet growing process. And it doesn’t just sprout out of nowhere, it should
be nourished. Now, why do I say this with so much confidence? I don’t know.
What happens when pain comes in? Say
you are in a relationship, and your partner decides that he can’t do it
anymore. What if suddenly you don’t get the love back? What if the feeling isn’t
mutual? What if he gives up first? Would you still hold on? Would you still
gamble your feelings? Can you still say that you still love that person? Despite
of the pain, can you still hold on? I say, YES. If that is true love of course you
would also say yes. I personally experienced the same, I did everything to win
him back. I was even willing to change every bit of me, for him to love me
again. I was … And to him, it was like nothing happened. It was like, he still
cannot love me. And it pains me to see him really happy without me.
#Mmmmmmasakit!
PAIN at its best! It’s
when you did everything to change yourself for him to love you again and he
still doesn’t. When you are the one who’s with him, you’re the one who’s here,
who gives everything to him, who loves him so much, and he still chooses
someone from a land far away. OUCH! It is when he gives up your relationship,
because he is not happy anymore. It is when he knows that you still love him
and he still manages to have an affair with your BESTFRIEND. And worst is
everybody hid it from you. 1 million times OUCH! And despite of EVERYTHING, you
still LOVE him. Oh-WOW! That’s how much I loved him. And that’s how much pain I
was willing to take just to prove that it really love him. And once again, PAIN
at its best. He still manages to do it again. Now that’s a shocker. Even I myself
can’t believe that he can afford to do that to me. *What am I talking about?*
(You should be really close to me to fully understand)
How long can you hold on?
Now, this question is posted on my mind. How long will I allow myself to get
hurt? How long? I know loving someone takes a lot of time and effort. And I do
love him. I really do. I don’t even know how I was able to reach this point. I
have no idea how I was able to handle everything. But there is only one thing
that I am certain of, and that is, I love him too much. A love that was
powerful enough to make me forget that I should also love myself. A love that
was so blinded of the idea of being loved again by somebody who will never love
her back. …
For a moment I thought that this
might work. I thought that maybe, just maybe, he’s feelings for me would come
back. But I was wrong. I was all wrong. I thought that we can still be the same
as before. Wrong again. I just pity myself. I was so stupid to believe in my
make-believe stories. Umasa lang ako. Demmet!
I don’t want to look back someday
and wonder “What ifs”. What if I fought for my love for him? What if I did this
or that? Would there be difference? Will all of it be worth it? What if I held
on to that feeling that I once had? Would I be happy? Was he really worth the
pain? What if I stayed? What if? At least one day, I would post those
questions, because I already did the best that I can to work this out. And I won’t
be wondering what ifs. And now I know the answers to those questions. And now,
it’s time to let go.
After doing every possible thing
that I can, there were no signs of regrets. Honestly, it was more of a lesson
learned. It’s been almost 2 years. I think it’s finally time to let go, time to
give myself a chance to feel loved again, time to feel special to someone
again, and a time to be happy once more. I guess it’s been a long journey, and I
can say that it’s been worthwhile.
Finally, to the person I really
love, I wish you all the best in life. I wish you well. I hope that you’d be
happy in your decisions in life. I am saying that we won’t be friends anymore,
but maybe someday I can give that to you. But for now, I need to really stay
away, tao ako, napapagod din. Pagod na pagod na ako. But I understand that we don’t
always get what we want. I hope you get what you want. I hope you find that
someone who will truly, truly make you happy. I know now that it’s not me. And I
understand. It really hurts but I will be strong. I can do this now without
you. Thank you for everything.
Goodbye.
