Memoirs of an Amnesiac

One of the reasons why people get so sentimental is because memories are the only things that don't change. When everything else does, there are things in life that you can't hold on forever, no matter how much you fight for them.

Sometimes destiny isn't always good; it becomes playful. When you meet someone, you learn to love. You thought that it was destiny which made your paths cross. But what if making your paths cross is just a part of the game that the playful destiny creates, making you realize in the end that the person you thought was destined for you wasn't really meant to stay? But only destined to make you feel loved and might think it's just an excuse.

Some might actually believe it. Some will blame you. Some might even be mad at you. What they don't know is the fact that it hurts you even more to hurt someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt, especially when you can't actually state the reason why you have to leave.

You can never own something that was never yours. So let's stop gripping on things we expect to last forever.

Nothing lasts forever. Forever is a lie. Everything is transitory.

So while you have something in your hand, put in mind that it's just borrowed so that someday when it's gone, it won't take you an eternity to just let it go.

When your feelings get strong for someone, it's always wise to stop for a while and give your heart a time to breathe, a time to use your mind to weigh the situation based on reason not on emotion. Because the saddest thing that can happen is when one falls in love while the other wants nothing more than friendship.

Love can sometimes be magical. But magic can sometimes be an illusion.

There are times that we wish we were limited to certain emotions so that we will never have to experience pain, never feel betrayed nor disappointed, and never let our fragile hearts get broken. But the same thing means that we'll never know how it feels to love and be loved in return. The thought of it sometimes scares me. To have a heart that's whole but numb or a heart that's broken but real.

Someday, we'll all be looking back to those days we learned to love, get hurt, cry and fight. Maybe when that time comes, we'll all be laughing at our old dumb selves, realizing how stupid we were to stand up for things that were really not meant for us.

But I guess learning takes time and mistakes make one's journey fun. Life is what we make it. Love makes the world go round.

So let's live, love, whatever pain it brings.

Though it is hard to wait around for something that I know will never happen, it's harder to stop when I know it's everything I've always wanted.
