A WEEK OF EMOTIONS
This week, we lost a loved one. It was so unexpected and so surreal. This is the first time that we have felt this way. This paved way to so many realizations. Realizations that you always hear, you always see. Realizations that are overrated.
Time. Did you ever wish you can turn back time? Did you ever tell yourself that you wished you had done more? Did you ever have to tell yourself that you wished everything was just a bad dream and that you can go back to the way it was before? As time passes by, you don’t really get to appreciate its beauty until s*** happens. As the saying goes, you wouldn’t know its worth until you lose it. Time in itself is very valuable if you think about it. Not everybody gets to have that. Some people take for granted their time. Some tend to have little to no time left here on earth. Some are fighting to have more time. Some people want to end theirs. Most people just don’t care. People have their own mindset about time. But one thing is for sure. You don’t get to turn back time, so always make the best out of yours. Learn fully, live fully and most importantly, love fully.
Love. When you lose the one you love, you ask yourself, did I give my partner my all? Did I reciprocate the love that he gave me? Did I love him unconditionally? Love knows no boundaries, no limits. When you love someone, show them. Tell them you love them whenever you have the chance. Make them feel they’re loved. Hugs. Kisses. Cuddles. You never know when they might be taken away from you and you might miss your chance to do all those things. Love is give and take. It never weighs who loves who more. Love is when you see your partner happy and not expect anything back. Just seeing them happy makes you happy. On the other hand, you shouldn’t be overly confident that they will always be there for you because you never know if their time is up and they have to leave you, even if they didn’t want to. So, always make the best out of your relationship. Treasure all those time that you have each other. Be there for each other. Dream together. Love together.
Grief. A gush of overflowing emotions and mental exhaustion. A lot of what ifs and I wished. In my own opinion, I think no one can ever be prepared for this type of feeling. Whether it be planned or not, one has to go through this process one way or another. A person has to gather all the strength that they have in order to cope with this. This is the time your persona gets tested. It’s either you cope or you don’t. In order to get through this, one has to take it in. You have to go through the process itself in order to cope. There is no shortcut. There is only the process itself that you have to go through. Together with that pain is the realization that they are never coming back. Those plans that you had are never going to happen. With that being said, pain is inevitable in this circumstance. It’s painful, yes. So painful that your body and mind will try to shut down and you would wish that you had a switch to turn it off. But guess what, you’ll get through this. Gather your strength from your family and loved ones. It’s hard. It’s painful. It hurts. This is a normal reaction and this will pass soon.
Thank you for the love. Thank you for the happiness. Thank you for the laughter. Thank you, M.
