This is me above with a female colleague
It's been a tough ride especially for those of us in medical college where the lives of most students revolves around—sleeping, eating, and reading—a cycle which doesn't seem to end anytime soon.
However, about a year ago, I decided to ease myself off the whole stress and break free from the chain of boredom by diving into "love".
I'm the guy in the middle engaging in a conversation with my female colleague
This was strange to my colleagues—and everyone who knew me. It was the first time I ever got into a relationship with a girl(Julie). I was so enthusiastic about the whole thing. We would usually hold hands and walk side by side, attend cinemas, and relationship programs together.
It got to a piont I cut off from most of my male colleagues. Was it an unwise thing to do? Or are these the spontaneous events that come along with being in a relationship?
Well, I'm definitely not experienced enough to answer these question.
while walking or taking a casual stroll, I would constantly smile to myself as though I had run crazy. People would usually pass by and give this awful, pitiful glare. Only then, did I return to my senses to realize I had been smiling sheepishly just because of a girl.
It wasn't long after, my smile transformed to sadness, laughter turned to grief, and happiness to sorrow. I realized the attention I gave her was no longer reciprocated, my calls were not returned, my texts were ignored.
I became suspicious, worried, and sad. It affected my mental health as I lost appetite and even my interest to study.
Days went by, I neither saw nor heard from Julie—only to see her a certain day, enclosed within the arms of another guy. Our eyes met, but in pretence, she acted like I was a stranger. This was the genesis of my heartbreak tale. We never reconciled and till today, she hangs around with the same guy.
Perhaps I was foolish to submit to love. perhaps I should have given only a portion of my heart to love.
least I forget,
love is a beautiful thing. However, never underestimate the effect and inevitability of heartbreaks.
