It'll Pass...

"Life is only travelled once; today’s moment becomes tomorrow’s memory.
Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the gift of life is life itself.."


When we let go, there are things we inevitably lose grip of.
For better or for worse, most of the time, time itself will tell.

When something which we have held on to for a period of our lives no longer seemed to be ours to keep, perhaps the only rational action next would be just to let go.

As long as the memory serves a purpose to bring about a smile, a sigh or even a raised eyebrow; we could be contended that those moments are forever ours to cherish.


It’s been said time & again, that to truly appreciate something; we may not necessarily need to keep it in our possession.
For what’s good of a love if we confine it in our pockets for keeps?
Once love is defined & confined, it starts to wither & die.


Instead, it should live in our hearts; in order for us to pass it forward so that others will also be able to experience it & cherish it their hearts forever instead.
Difficult, because our minds have been fashioned since young, that; if we like or love something enough, we should get a hold over it & never let go.


Especially true when we meet someone who comes into our lives whom we are so confident are the ones who would make an impact & we seem to be unable to live a minute separated from them.
Of course, it would be blissful to have them in our lives for the rest of it.
I am a believer of putting the effort to make things work just so that 2 people could enrich each other’s numbered days on this face of the Earth.


But, I am also a believer that when the days come that separation is inevitable, the mentality gap is inching wider as how planets are losing orbit by the day, the feelings & emotions are long jaded & faded, or the commitment doesn’t seem to add up in that relationship anymore, well, the only option to maintain a memory worth cherishing forever is just simply to let go.


Otherwise, which would you rather have in the remaining days of your life?
A bitter relationship where all compromise have failed, trust & understanding seem such an alien word with a partner whom you do not have more than 20 words to share in a day?


Or a brief & painful encounter of letting go, in order to preserve the moments where the passage of time has led you both, where each experience has its marvels, its ups & downs, which glow & sparkle to bring about a "Hmm, those were the days..."


I have made my choice.
It was painful.
It still is.

All I can hope for now is that it won’t hurt too long.

Wish me luck.


"Always believe that life itself is a gift.
That’s why today is called 'the present'...
Live life a day at a time, with no regrets."

That is probably the best gift you could ever have, for yourself to yourself.
