3 Lessons I Have Recently Learned

When you finally manage to dry tears in your eyes and you are able to "function" effectively,

you will instantly realize MANY things.

1. Never ever date a "brother"

Yes, you should NOT. And no exceptions, too.

A brother should always remain a brother no matter what.

2. Words are empty without actions.

I learned this lesson in a slap-to-the-face way. I was so addicted to giving chances as my good friend/co-blogger Jason Cruz would always tell me. Not everyone deserves a SECOND nor a third chance even if they promise the whole world to you. Don't you think it would be more romantic and believable if they do what they say instead of just blurting out those sweet nothings?

Surprises, notes, sweet messages, and all sort of "love" paraphernalia to get the person are bullsh*t if done inconsistently or half-heartedly. Never ever fall to those kind of games.

They can say all they want, but actually putting action to everything is what it takes.

3. Always guard your heart.

You can no longer appreciate the beauty of life the same way again once it get destroyed.

"Where your heart is is where your life is.", as what my friend Phill Pamintuan have told me.

I learned that we should not haphazardly open our heart to what life has to offer. Sometimes, we have to pause and observe what that opportunity is about to get you into. There is nothing wrong in being careful because we know sooner or later, good things will poison us to death.

A fickle heart will ALWAYS IN ALL WAYS screw us over. Once they feel the need to change of heart, they will just jump-start an imperceptible scheme that deviates from their course.
And, that is it.
You just have to accept that things will no longer be the same again.

Ah, Yes.

It has been a month.

Who would have thought that it was only a month ago that

things turned completely different and heartbreaking?
It actually felt more than that already.
I guess being "busy" with happy things really did work.
I was able to get back on my feet
and I survived it.

Gist of this blog post?
 Two people who decided to part ways just because

the world does not conspire with their love anymore.
End of story.

A one way relationship can never and will never work.

 I honestly still do not know why we

stopped fighting for it.

But will all due respect, understanding his sudden decision

 is one of the things I would do again if I have to.

His happiness is far more important. Full stop.

Ah, things love can do...

No matter how strong I may come out,

I know it still hurts. So much.

If I may be honest,

can I say that I still love that person

even if he has bruised my heart very badly?
