A life without love is no life at all” —Leonardo da Vinci
It’s been a while. How’s life been going, folks? I hope you’re all doing fine. Two years have passed already since the pandemic and I am glad to see that some of us are coping with it very well. I am in so much joy right now. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. But God’s love for me is magnificent. I was able to surpass the struggles and burdens towards healing. It was never easy. We had to be best friends with hard liquors and beers. Countless wasted moments. It was so tough to be okay in front of everyone just because I don’t want them to get worried. I remember the conversation we had with my best friend, Quennie. She said “just let it out bst. Ihilak lang na, embrace all the pains, embrace it until it hurts no more” I burst into tears. I endured all the burdens and cried.
I diverted my attention to things that will help me better. We went on beach trips and exciting adventures with my favorite people, Jerds. I must say, it helped me a lot. Those numerous trips we had was one for the books.
The travel, fun, and adventure helped me to be better, but there were still moments I felt lost. I can’t explain why. Then thoughts began to surface.
—Forgiveness. Love. Peace—
I need to forgive myself, forgive those who have done me wrong, let go of the past and focus more on self-love. I need to move forward with no hatred in my heart and live a life full of love. I prayed. And kept on praying that one day, one faithful day, I will be able to feel that bliss of life I was once felt long ago. Thanks G for he answered my prayers.
I remember the phrase I read on Amica Mea’s blog, these were the few lines; Life has many unexpected twists, turns, and surprises. It has a lot of life lessons that come with it. All the experiences that we go through, all the broken dreams and goals that we couldn’t achieve we’re all part of the plan, after all. Right now in life, we are where we’re supposed to be”
Indeed life is full of surprises. I, too, was surprised by the events and twists of my life. I am proud of who I become. Yes, there were regrets but I realized I shouldn’t be regretting the things I’ve done in the past because that made me who I am today: wiser and braver. I am even better than yesterday. I am exactly where I was supposed to be. Happy, contented, and loved.
So, to all who are suffering from heartbreaks, emotional pains, and traumatic pasts. Just embrace all the burdens. Cry it out. If getting wasted helps you ease the pain, then go ahead. But make sure you pick yourself up and move forward. Set a timeline. Pray and trust the process. Trust God’s timing. Forgive and don’t be afraid to love again.
Life is so beautiful. Life is meant to be lived.
Live your life. Love your life. 💞
