Moving On
April 24, 2007
Want to share these text messages sent by my two lady friends Karen and Sophie regarding Moving On:
From Karen Herida:
Moving On.. just two words. About a second to blurt out, but can be a million years to achieve. The more you try to get over, the more s/he is invading the mind and heart; so believe it or not, there’s no such thing as moving on, its just a matter of getting use with the pain. To put in one word - NUMB.
From Sophie Beba:
If a person doesn’t love you anaymore, then there is no more reason for you to stay. The only way to stop hurting is to stop wanting. And the only way to stop wanting is to start accepting that the person is probably not the same person you used to know. Then and only then can you move on to find the happiness that becomes truly rewarding when shared with the person who loves us just the same or probably even more.
I don’t know why Sophie and Karen sent me those messages. It could be that they were on the that particular state of "moving on" but from two different perspectives. When I forwared to Karen what Sophie sent me, she replied "Para gid to sa akon (It was really meant for me)".
For me, moving on is NOT merely a state/stage but a PROCESS. It may take a day or even a lifetime. What is important is we learn along the way… to still be willing to LOVE — ourself and others — not to be jaded and be cynical about love.
As a song says: "Life is a Constant Change… and that whether we like it or not: we Certainly have to MOVE ON"
