on break ups and moving on
Writing by wisteria on Saturday, 29 of September, 2007 at 1:01 am
My friend recently broke up with her boyfriend of three years. Her boyfriend said that he had fallen out of love with her since early this year and has been trying to work things out to no avail, that’s why he only announced the situation just now – through a goodbye letter. She was stunned and confused. How is it possible for someone to fall out of love, still be able to pretend that everything is fine and dandy for several months, and then say his goodbye over a letter? That’s way unethical and inconsiderate.
Then she found out that there was a third party. Devastated as she is right now, I comforted her and told her that it’s okay to mull over and be miserable about it, and that she ought to take her time in recovering.
I also reminded her though that when I say take her time, she shouldn’t let the situation swallow her whole. A break up is a very powerful blow. But it is up to you if you will let it consume you or use it as a stepping stone to be a stronger person. As Groucho Marx nicely put it:
I, not the events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.
