All of us have tasted a failed relationship, may it be romantic or platonic. A mistake or a circumstance itself changes everything between us and the person we dearly call love or friend. Everything turns sour and never can be saved. This tears up our soul into tiny pieces that is just so intricate to put the pieces back from where it was used to be.
One sad truth about life...
We love so hard and one day when we wake up, we're unloved; we trust too much and later we're deceived; we care even more than ourselves and ends up disregarded and leaves us being dejected. Nothing is much more devastating than seeing the person we love or the person we call friend turns into a stranger or tasting the cruelty we get from the person whom we give so much importance, when all we want is the happiness of them. We try, and we try and try. We believe on third-time lucky, yet, it does not work at all, instead it does create more damage on us.
Perhaps, we need to experience such a thing in order for us to grow. A growth that will lead us to self-discovery and a growth that will bring us to addressing our own personal issues that have been buried deep inside of us. Probably, the right time has come to evaluate ourselves, learn and eventually start healing.
Life continues to give wonderful opportunities to learn in so many ways but sometimes the way to learn is just so overwhelming, that we need to experience the undesirable and unimaginable kind of hurt that will leave a permanent hole inside. And that hole will remind us of the path we had traveled once, that bears such a valuable lesson in life that molds us to be who we are now.
Yes, it did hurt us more than one could ever fathom but we have to move on. We have continue to live a life full of hope - soldier on. One day when we remember that road, we shouldn't look back in anger but we should appreciate ourselves for enduring the difficult times of healing. We have to be grateful for learning one greatest lesson in life that makes us stronger.
