Some days, I wake up depressed.
Some days, I wake up with so much energy that it feels surreal.
Some days, I'm numb.
Some days, I don't even get to check how I feel π
But one thing keeps lurking around the corner.
My Circle.
We've all had bad memories when it comes to people—most especially, with friends.
"Love is a static emotion. You cannot love without being motivated to express it."
Tim Lahey.
We've bared our hearts to those people because of the level at which they've offered a shoulder in our time of loneliness.
I might add that an intimate level has been reached.
Get your mind off of the gutter.
Some of us have gone the long way for people because you know how it would be to have a person who will cheer for you even when you put in the littlest of efforts.
Or is it when you know the feeling of having someone in your corner, of having someone who has your back till the end?
It's a general pain.
Most of us have experienced betrayal in our friendships. It hurts so bad and, if not managed, can drive us to the wall.
It could make you a shadow of your former self.
Really extreme!
And then it comes along with bitter emotions. If you're unlucky, yours are bottled up and affect your daily life.
You might wave it off, but there's a huge chance that you've been affected mentally.
At a certain point, you stop trusting people and cling to an invisible shell, questioning your capabilities.
You need to heal.
You need to feel those emotions and let go of the past.
For your benefit.
You will never have peace until you give up on hurting.
The annoying thing is that you can't change what has happened.
Time machines don't exist.
At least not now, and maybe whenever it does, we'll probably be old and frail. Much worse dead
So Live.
Give life all you've got and learn to love again.
See, betrayal as a boomerang. It surely comes.
But are you willing to hold on to it or let it go?
Does this analogy even work?
Till next time,
D.
Beautiful piece. Truly, when we hold on to offenses from the past, we suffer from it instead.
