straight from the heart...

“There is nothing more beautiful than a person whose heart has been broken but still believes in love”.

At some point in our lives, we fall in love. We get hurt. We move on and fall in love again. In my case, I have been hurt so much that I never thought of loving again. My heart was full of pain, of bitterness and heartaches. I was hurt so deeply that the wound was so deep and the scars remain.

It is true that pain can change a person. After that major heartbreak, I changed. I am not the same person anymore. My views changed, my beliefs changed and even my ways. Yes, I’ve become a different person; I’ve grown matured, more understanding and more open. I have been braver, tougher, and stronger or so I believed.

Change is good but not all. I’m not a saint, but a sinner. The world is full of temptations, and most of the time it is hard to resist.

And then along the way, I met someone who in one way or another has shown me the light. He may not be aware of it but he straightened my path. He reminded me to take care of myself, my body, my health. In some way, he inspired me. I even went back to attending church every Sunday.

Yes, I almost fall for him. I am happy every time I talk to him or exchange messages with him. He may not be aware of that. He may not be aware that he’s making someone happy.

Sometimes people come into your life not to love you, but to help you realize that you are worth loving. Having this feeling for him made me realize that my heart is well, that it is willing to love again. It may be another heartbreak but it is a heartbreak I would gladly have. For when I think of it, I don’t regret. When I think of it I smile.

At some point we have to realize that some people can stay in our hearts but not in our lives.

And to you who made an impact in my life, thank you so much for passing by. I thank God I met you. Memories may be short but it is worth keeping. I miss you everyday, the jokes and the laughters, but I don’t have to worry about that. I have kept you and those memories in a special place in my heart. I wish you all the best; I wish you all the joy your heart can wish for. Be happy always, coz my heart rejoices in your happiness.

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never the same again.”
