Caren's Advice

Saturday, March 25, 2006

"Nabasa ko na yung letter mo. There's your closure. I take it that you've told him about everything about what you've done. I'm proud of you. Siguro naman ngayon, titigil ka na sa kalokohan mo. Nagagalit ako sa sinulat niya about you. He didn't have to go that far for you to get his point. But maybe he needed din to do that para talagang matauhan ka na. Naiinis ako sa'yo kasi kahit anong pigil ko sa'yo dati, parati mo 'kong 'di pinakikinggan. But most of all, naiinis ako sa sarili ko kasi wala akong nagawa dati para maiwasang masaktan ka ngayon at dahil hinayaan kitang suwayin yung mga advice ko. Alam ko mahirap at masakit para sa'yo, pero you really have to quit him, move on, and forget him. In that order and this time, it should be for good/real na talaga. Alam ko kaya mo yun, but as Pheelyp Aytona would put it, wala ka lang tiwala sa sarili mo. I'm always here for you kapag kailangan mo ako. Ü "

Note: My best friend sent me this long and emotional text message 2 years ago, in line with the earlier letter from the aforementioned name. I was in tears after reading it and realized that she was, as always, right all along. I was stupid and irrational during the whole deceptive ordeal, not to mention the fact that I ignored all of my "tried and tested" life principles. Nevertheless, I have learned my lesson the hard and painful way. Plus, I'm currently moving on with my not-so-perfect life. Thank you, Caren.

Coffee, Caren? :)
