For the past weeks, I’ve been hearing stories about love. Stories of unrequited love, broken vows, failed relationships, right love at the wrong time, love gone wrong. Oftentimes we wonder how a love so beautiful and almost perfect could end up with goodbyes. A lot of us have experienced pain and broken hearts, a lot of us at some point in our lives can’t even remember how it is to live again after a failed relationship. With all the stories I’ve heard about love this past weeks, I realized that pain is really inevitable. Pain is part of everyone’s life and no matter how hard we run and escape from it, we simply can’t.
All we have to do is to embrace the pain and learn from it. Cry, shout, and grieve for as long as you want but never ever become bitter about love. Love may have caused you lots of pains and heartbreaks but remember that those pains and heartaches should never hinder you to love again.
The pain of losing someone or letting go of someone we dearly love can really be so excruciating and sometimes it feels like you are torn into pieces… it pains you so much that you don’t know how to pick up the pieces to make you whole again.
But that’s the beauty of love…to feel the pain of letting go and holding on to that love, to that promise. To try standing up, moving on and embracing the fact that sometimes, no matter what we do and how hard we try to fight for that love and hold on to that feeling, we simply just have to let it go and walk away.Walk away for a new beginning…a new hope…a new you and eventually a new love. You’ll never know but that new love might be the one who will be with you for the rest of your life.
