And just like the sunset, there is always a beauty in endings. We just need to look at the brighter side of the way.
Have you ever feel happy when ending came? Have you ever tried celebrating endings? Well, graduation is a form of ending, and all graduates celebrates such success. That is because such ending is a wonderful thing. But what if, it is an ending with the person you love? An ending with the person you dear the most? Will you still celebrate it? Will you just give up? Or will you let go?
Watching a Tiktok video about this certain game in Showtime, I got to have an idea what to write today. The question is actually, "Bakit ba mahirap bumitaw?" There were choices given and I have them listed below. And give some insights on each.
Some people can just easily let go, but some experienced having a hard time letting go. And personally, I am one of those having a hard time doing so. Why is that? Why is letting go needs to hurt us? Why is letting go needs to be this difficult?
Because you get used of the person. Having someone that you can show your true colours and be comfortable being around them is such a wonderful feeling. No wearing of masks, just your true self. No pretending, just loving the way you are. The comfort, the feeling of being welcome, everything is like a heaven. And you got used to it. What if a day will come that that person will say, they do not want it anymore? That they like you no more?
Because you are afraid to be alone. No man is an island. That has been what it is from the start. You have a lover. A someone that has been with you 24/7. The one you got to be with in sadness and in happiness. The one you have been with when you yourself lost you. You got used to that person. And you're afraid to lose him, because you are afraid to be alone. What if a day will come that your partner will say, being with you is not his happiness anymore?
Because you two are already in the long term relationship. Time. Will really time tell? That having a relationship for a decade with the person will say forever? It will and it may not. But is it wonderful to be with someone for a long time? You for sure is used to with that person, you know almost all about him, you are together 24/7. You will not be afraid to be alone. But what if one day, your partner will say let's stop this here. That the long years you have is over?
Because starting over is hard. The comfort, the security of not being alone, and the years you've spent together. Everyday of your life is spent with that person. And there's no way that for the long years, you will start again. That will be such a waste of time. You think. Introducing again and again? That will be a no for you. But what if, the person you love will say, let's start over. But not with each other. What will you do?
Because there's no one like him. There's a lot of fish in the ocean, for sure you'll catch a good one. But what if it is not a fish you are looking for? You just wanted him. Because everything mentioned above is him. The comfort, the security, the time you spent together, and your choice not to start over again. You think he is the one. The one you will spent your forever with. And one day, he'll say I am not the one for you. You deserve someone better. Would you stay?
Letting go was, is, and will never be easy. It will pain you out to the fullest. It will question you your own worth. But is just giving up the only way? Would you really let go right away? There's no what if anymore? Personally, I'll try to hold on. I'll try to work it out. I've been working it out, why stop now? I will try to make choices. I'll try to choose to stay first. Will try my best. And according to Pido from Showtime, "Sagarin mo. Habulin mo. Pag sagad na sagad na kayo, saka ka sumuko." You may lose the fight, but at least you know to yourself you did a good job. You may lose a lot, but for sure you'll learn. You'll never know if there is someone better if you're not going to let go. You'll never know if there is someone better if you're not going to start over. Everything starts from the beginning. If you're done holding on, let go. The more you hold on, the more you get hurt. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. For sure, there will be someone that will make theirselves deserving for you.
Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future. - Daphne Rose Kingma
