There are some things in life that we can’t really hold on to no matter how much we fight for it. The most painful part of a break-up is the realization that the person you built your dreams with is -in fact - not the one. Memories make people sentimental because those are the only things that you cannot change. It is something that will always be there like frozen memories. Love - just like any other emotion - has its stages. We must always remember that everything in this world is just ‘borrowed’ - we have to learn to admit that emotions are sometimes transitory and that they do evolve. In relationships, when two people evolve or take the next step, there are only two options for it: grow together or grow apart. When the choice becomes the latter, plans go to waste. They remain as mere imaginations of a series of dreams left undone, words left unsaid, all the could-have-beens and the would-have-beens.

We are a novel in itself -we are the protagonist in our story, and God put different characters in each chapter. These characters have their own back story, strengths, weaknesses and most of it all, a REASON on why they are in your story. Like any other stories, protagonists go through a series of unfortunate events - a conflict - these hardships will press the character so much that it will cause them so much pain. Within this pain, protagonists will realize a solution to the conflict - which will lead us to the resolution. It is a stage of life where all the questions are answered, or why things happened the way it did. I trust God with my story, because He is surely a better writer than I am. God is the author of our story, we are only the narrator.

Some people are afraid to love completely - but in my opinion, it is not the “love” part that they are afraid of . .  it is the “pain” part of it that they are afraid of. Just think of it this way - people who are afraid of heights aren’t really afraid OF THE HEIGHT, they are afraid of THE FALL. Know your fear, then work hard to get over it. Let yourself fall, so that you’ll know how it feels and the you will learn how to get back up. Never enclose yourself in a bubble of safety because like what I said in the beginning, everything is transitory, that’s why you have to always take chances, take risks, love fully and love truly.

Love takes time. Love takes work. But, it shouldn’t be hard. It’s an emotion, not an obligation.

Though I may be imperfect, at least I trek through this life just being true to myself and others.

Yours,

Hanah
