What's Not To Be Happy About?
Often times, people still see me as the girl who had her heart broken. The girl who still hasn't moved on from her almost 3-year relationship with someone. The girl who's still weeping when it's been already 2 years. The girl who still waits for his ex (and bestfriend) to come back. The girl who doesn't listen, who doesn't get tired, who's willing to sacrifice her happiness, to sacrifice her self, to wait, no matter how long it's going to take.But I'm not that girl anymore. I believe I'm now stronger, and better. Because I realized, what's the point of being bitter? What we had was real, and I can't compare those 29 months we spent together to anything. No regrets, no disappointments. I'm glad I got to be with that man. That man who taught me to be strong, to believe in myself, to do better, to make myself better, to love, without expecting anything in return.
But you know, things end. I cannot hold on to what is lost. I have a life to live. And I cannot let someone deprive me from that. Also, I cannot let someone to dictate what I need to do with my life. I cannot let someone dictate who I need to be with. I need these people around me, no matter how much they are associated with him, because I believe they need me too. I cannot choose someone over someone.
I still talk about him because our relationship is worth looking back to. They say it's okay to visit in memory lane, just don't live there. And it's true. You look back at things, smile at how great they were, and still be glad that for once in your life, there was that moment when you were so inexplicably happy. It's a good thing, really. And then you'll realize, what's not to be happy about? You're living a good life, with supportive family and friends, strong faith, good academic status. Really, what's more to ask? And yes, we're still very good friends.
I stay inspired because life is telling me to. And I'm not giving up on living life, because I know I need to inspire the world, too.
