Emotions and Blessings

It's been a while since I've written something decent, or at least what I think is decent, in this blog.

They say that writing your feelings down is therapy, and I guess I didn't do as much "therapy" as I should have. I guess it's because of the fact that a lot of friends have been there to listen to me and distract me enough for me not to write anything down.

Entering a relationship also means that you are letting the person into your life, but more than you'll ever let any friend or family member in. That person would probably be the first person you'd talk to when something interesting, disappointing, or happy happens to you. That person would probably also be the one who'd be with you during those events. He was the one who'd know you inside and out, more than anybody else could know you. Not unless you didn't really love the person, I'd say you'd bare your soul to that person, you'd want them to know everything about you and love you despite your perfections and imperfections. You've built yourself a future with this person. Your plans included that person.

If you're like me who promised yourself that you won't enter any relationship not unless you're sure that you see yourself marrying that person, breaking up is hard. To see something you've built together just disintegrate into thin air, to see something you've believed in not work out... It hurts.

Anyway... I don't want this to sound like an emo entry, so I'll just cut that short and tell you why this break-up is also a blessing. Let me enumerate why:

1. You grow up. Seriously. You mature more emotionally and you become stronger. A break-up can teach you so many lessons about yourself and about life through the break-up.
2. You realize how many (more) people love you. Your friends will always be there to listen (and tolerate) your whining about how hard it is, how much it hurts, blahblahblah. You'll realize that they will always be there for you and that even when the one you love leaves you, they will stay and they have your back.
3. You bloom. It's because you rediscover yourself. You learn new things about yourself. You'll pamper yourself more. Hence, you will bloom.

There's so much more that I could say about this break-up being a blessing, but I realized that it can all be summarized in one point: It makes you better. Heck, every thing that you experience makes you a better person. You live and you learn. And you will be okay.

And yes, I won't deny it, there are nights when I feel like watching Dirty Dancing while bawling (New Girl reference, whaddup), but I guess there will be brighter days. And I'm excited for what the future holds. It's looking brighter. :)

Wala lang. Just wanted to show you gais how I look. Vain, I know. Harhar.
