The one about letting go.

sorry i haven’t been updating much. school’s been a real pain. seriously. quizzes, exams, projects, laboratory experiments, even unbearable professors. ugh! makes my head throb like its gonna burst or something. but enough about that. i wanna write something about letting go.

i am a paulo coelho fan. i’ve been trying to collect all of his books eversince i read “the alchemist.” i really can’t collect them in an instant because they cost way too high here in the philippines. so, i bought “the zahir” before, but my copy got lost.:( luckily, someone gave a copy to me as a gift. hehehe.. so i’ve read it twice now and i can’t get a quote from that book out of my mind. and, yeah, it is about letting someone go.

“When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive - I’ll find love again.“

Loving someone is not really a lasting thing. in one way or another, one gets tired of the same treatment he/she gets from the person he/she thought can make him/her feel loved. and sometimes, they tend to leave without even saying a word. that is really painful. but in reading “the zahir,” it taught me that when someone we love so much leaves, we just have to accept it and move on. it might be difficult for us to let him/her go, but it reality, we just have to. the feeling we once had with that special person is now a one-way avenue. it can never be reciprocated again. so it is better to move on and let go, rather than staying in self-pity. because after all, we should learn from this mistake. we should look at the positive outcome from a bad experience. and like it says in the book. maybe, it happened, because someone out ther is meant for us. someonewho will love us, cherish us, and make us fall in love with them over and over again. someday, we will be able to find the one who is meant for us. for now, we just hve to wait and see.
