(Issue 42) Don't Give Up

Almost everyone has a past relationship, and there are many ways to handle them and these are the many ways I had tried to overcome them. Cried, drunk my sorrows, confine to a friend, lock myself up and etc, but ultimately it all ends the same way, a thought that wakes me up, telling me that "Sometimes without this heartbreak, I would not really know how much or how important the person meant to me, as humans tends to only appreciate things that are either lost or unreachable".

I once come across a blog that wrote: " Truth about Love
1) When your heart broke once, you are upset cos he is your everything...
2) When your heart broke twice, you know you can overcome it...
3) When your heart broke thrice, you know it is the usual path you would be facing...
4) When your heart broke 4th time, you are a bit dumb about love and have no more strength to carry on...
5) When you heart broke the fifth time, you know it is time to stop all misery and lead life as your fullest." Although I have only been into 3 relationships and many 'in-betweens', though they are all short lived, but hey definitely meant something to me, because I never fail to put in all my heart, feelings and emotions into it.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we been missing until it arrives, and this is the reason that makes me get up on my feet and carry on. No one can go back and make a brand new start. "once you've tasted love, you'll never find yourself going back to original singlehood or coupleship", but anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I would like to take the opportunity to mention my 3 past relations and 2 memorable "in betweens" that change my life. With it would be the worth of the "grains of sand" I pick up everytime I stand up from a fall.

I guess sometimes a door closes because it is time for you to move on and learn another "lesson", we grow and learn by the days, however, most of the time we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. And maybe another reason why 'God' wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Don't worry, my next issues on my past relations won't be on the sad expects of the relations, but on the happiest moment we have together, because given a choice of your own, why wouldn't you want to re-live the happiest moments and learn from the hardship but to chose the vise-verse.

Coming to terms with (wanting to record down the good memories before I forget) Me, (jotting down notes I have learned in the past so that I won't be bitten by it again) Myself and (happy) I.

Singing to the tunes of: Josh Groban - You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)
Don't give up, It's just the weight of the world, When you're heart's heavy, I will lift it for you
Don't give up, Cuz you want to be heard, If silence keeps you, I will break it for you
Don't give up, It's just the hurt that you hide, When you're lost inside, I'll be there to find you
Don't give up, Because you want to burn bright, If darkness blinds you, I will shine to guide you
Don't give up, Because you are loved
