Letting go...Dedicated to heart-broken souls


Letting go is so hard, don’t you think?

You have got every reason to let go, but you just can’t! And each time you make up your mind so firmly about letting go, on the back of your mind you doubt the possibility of ever being able to let go. You fake a laugh, and force a smile everyday, trying to look perfectly "intact", though your inside is so broken up. At times you are so lost and confused that you are not even sure anymore whether someone else is actually living your very life. There is nothing to look forward to. Nothing. Sometimes you look at your own reflection, and suddenly you miss the old, happy YOU, but deep down you realize how impossible it is to be who you were again. Not after what happened. You fail to let go again and again despite how determined to let go. Then you start shrouding yourself with all kinds of nasty self-accusations because you just can’t let go. You detest it! Sad songs become your favourites, and there are certain special selections that you can’t bear with because there is always this lump in your throat every time you let yourself get carried away.

Letting go is just too hard! But coercing yourself to let go is even worse!

This time i'm very first to comment haha! hei, ven, it sounds to me as that u're so serious about LOVE stuff now.. err, letting go... well, i can say that what u said was ALL true to me. it's hard to let go... i mean even if u tend to let it go, ur inner will not let it go.. so still haunting u each moment u're thinking back of the past. no matter how u fake a pretty smile on ur face, everyone will see u thru when the sadness come out from u. well, i'm very emotional when comes to this kinda topic dude. what i'm saying is that we must let it go! don't have the old imagination in our mind. i'm sure we can do. i'm also sure, u'll meet someone better than the old one!

I would define 'letting go' as 'escapism' or 'obstacle-phobia' which should be the last exit being approached when there is no way out. Though there are certain things that are out of control of humans, we should summon all the might we have and fight to the fullest before we 'give up'. If after having encountered the obstacles, we hastily cling to 'letting go' motto, then life would be just a series of random events with nothing to be learned.

Just a few more words. If 'letting go is too hard! But coercing yourself to let go is even worse!', y try to let go? The 'impossible' can happen every time, so sometimes we should let go of 'letting go'.

I don't think that we can ever let go.. the shadow of the past will keep haunting us, either in a good way or a bad way.. i'm speaking from experience here haha.. But the past has past, take it as a lesson n learn from it..
The past is what makes me who i am today, a stronger person..

yep i agree with Nan. She has definitely become stronger. If you find it hard to turn your past into your advantage, then that is when friends come in.

My apologies to each and everyone of you here for my being so late...Back from a very wonderful trip, you see.

To Pheaktra: Well, it is dedicated to heart-broken souls, and if you are one of them, then of course it is for you :-).

To PM: you know what? saying is one thing and doing is another thing. I am sure you are fully aware of this very cliche. "letting go" should be the last exit, i agree, but for heart-broken souls, there is nothing better than letting go. So obviously it is the first, the only and the last way out. And guess what? Nobody wants to give up, and they let go no because they are too weak to fight back, but simply put, they are too understanding and caring to fight back on their impulse.

To Nan: i am totally on your side about the fact that we all should learn our lessons and that we all should take advantage from those lessons, but i doubt--again--the possibility of doing that, you know. I mean, yeah, it is a piece of cake when it comes to terms with obstacles other than love.

To Barbie: so you are one of the victimized too??? I dunno whether i should say, "Hey, congratulations, BarBEE!" or "So sorry to hear that"

Anyway, hope that you will be able to let go, BarBEE, but do not force yourself too.

I've been trying to be a bit more realistic, but there seems to be no way. It's probably the matter of time, I guess. I do hope time will help lessen my pain in losing, but how long? I just don't know.

Thks for ur sympathetic reassurance. I'll try to treat the imperfections of my life as a dream, though its hard to do so, I still have to move on. A hug

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

The Good Old Time (2003)

Image
I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
