They say that "One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you cannot change."

May mga bagay na hindi nagtatagal. Lahat ay nagbabago. Kagaya ng mga tao na dumarating sa buhay natin. Some people are meant to stay in our life and some are meant to leave.

Naniniwala ako na that we have a choice to decide.

Kung ano man ang desisyon nila, we have to respect and accept it. Kahit masakit.

Masakit na makita ang mahal mo ay unting unti lumalakad palayo sayo. Paalis sa buhay mo. Kahit gusto mo habulin. Kahit magmakaawa ka at pakiusapan mo. Wala rin mangyayari kung buo na talaga ang desisyon niya.

Pero what if kung bigla siya bumalik sa buhay mo?

Paano pag gusto pa niya ng isang pagkakataon pa, pagbibigyan mo ba?

Paano kung okay ka na? Na masaya ka na at tanggap mo na hindi kayo para sa isa't isa? Tatanggapin mo ba siya sa buhay mo?

I find myself staring the notification that I received earlier. A notification made me froze and blinked many times na parang nakakita ako ng isang multo. Dahil talaga isang multo ang nabuhay mula sa nakaraan ko.

Pilihim ako natawa at napailing. Nagtataka akong tumingin sa kalendaryo namin kung anong month na ba.

Teka, Abril palang ngayon ha. Bakit parang ang aga naman ng Halloween at may nagpaparamdam nang multo.

It's been 3 years since umalis siya sa buhay ko. Nung umalis siya ay gumuho ang mundo ko. My heart was shattered into a little pieces. I was lifeless.

Kahit mahirap, I was able to revive myself, to be able to build up myself again and to be alive again. I like this new version of me. Wiser, stronger and full of positive outlook in life.

Napatitig ako ulit sa notification ng friend request sakin galing sa ex boyfriend ko. He even message me to catch up with me.

Ilang minuto ko siya pinagisipan and I finally decided. As I clicked the button Decline and I ignored his message.

After I clicked it, I happily sighed and felt relieved. I felt in peace again

I'm so proud of myself na hindi na ako marupok.

Achievement unlocked be like.

Not being bitter, But I would rather not go back being lifeless again.

One thing that I learned from my heartbreak is to protect my heart and my peace at all cost.

There is a reason why Past is the past. Dahil tapos na iyun and it will remain to be a past.

Don't dwell in the past. Live in the present. Look forward to the future.
