Thank You For The One-Month Romance

If there's a thing called "one-night stand", there's also a "one-month romance". At least for me, in my own experience. If you have been following my articles, I have published an article about my situationship.

During that one-month situationship, it was full of happiness, hope and inspiration. I must admit, it was one of the moments were I was so looking forward to wake up everyday and wait his messages before he goes to work. When he used to talk about stuff that we both relate to.

However, it didn't end up the way I see it. I was so full into the idea of looking forward of having his presence each day but it did not happen. It broke my heart. I was more heartbroken in this than my previous relationship, I should say.

Then again, as time goes by, as I am moving on, I learned to opened my mind about how dynamic love can be. It taught me that it has it's own way of making you feel it. I am feeling better and finally recovering from this heartache.

Having said that, I'm still grateful that it happened to me. I mean, it's not the heartbreak that caused me but the lesson it left me. I believe it is a healthy way to reflect on the relationship and move forward. I may have overlooked it but it provided me opportunities for personal growth, self-discovery, and positive experiences.

By being thankful for it, it helped me shift my focus from negative feelings such as disappointment or regret to more positive emotions such as appreciation and gratitude. Although this does not mean that I should settle for less than what I want or need in a relationship.

Just a week ago, an unknown profile wants to send a message to me. I checked my message request and replied to her. She asked me if I know this person, (she sent me the profile picture) and it was Jake's! For goodness sake, my heart was pounding. I said yes, I have known her for quite some time, we did talk for a while but that's it.

I was so confused why she asked me about Jake. Then it turns out that another person is chatting her claiming to be Jake's wife. She's accusing her as the mistress. And so, I asked her more about the conversation but she didn't reply anymore.

Everything is clear to me now. Jake is just a fake person pretending to be someone he's not. He's there to fish people and make fun with his victims. I'm amazed how he managed to do all those stuff. We even talked for hours before and that's where I felt the emotional connection so I wondered if he's really real or not. I'm confused.

Either way, I am not gonna dwell on that further. What's more important is the lesson it gave me through the situationship. I can say that I have become more mature when it comes to handling situations like these. I know there will be more of this or even worse but at least, I already have a little knowledge about it.

Was there a situation in your life that taught you a lesson? Something monumental that you consider.

Thanks for reading.

Keep safe everyone!
