Another Chance
Breaking up sucks, but the journey towards an ending brings important lessons.
After a lot of pre-pre-wedding jitter issues last Thursday, I met with my bestest friend Byron. We talked over dinner and coffee at the Metro Walk in Ortigas.. ok din pala dun. He's one of the friends I have who can really be straight-forward with me, so he's the best person to talk with.
Talk... rant.. complain...relax...breathe...
So it boils down to improving our communication, honesty and understanding. As if, I didn't know.
Sometimes, even if the answers are right there in front of us, we deny ourselves seeing them. And wait until an angel comes flying down from the heavens and spank us with the hard but hopeful truth, that there's still a reason to love and believe in it.
At first, I was ready to let go, and thought it was easy. I offered friendship, but turned out, we deserved another chance.
Commitments made:
1. Don't be pressured by the Dec. 1 wedding date. If we are really meant for each other, we will get wed. Besides we can still adjust the wedding date if we are not really ready for it this year.
2. Focus on our individual careers. Before we settle down, this should be our primary concern, especially in very hard times. Dedication to work alongside dedication to our relationship - nothing's impossible.
3. Openness. Communication. Honesty (though the truth hurts most of the time).
4. Start anew.
There are so many things I can deny, but I can't deny that I do love him.
Thanks to Dionne and Aggie - for your sweet thoughts! mWAh!
