i have one story to share. this story taught me the greatest realization that i've acquired for the longest time. background: the break up with my last ex was the messiest you could ever imagine. r is the girl who replaced me. the replacement process was a big traumatic experience.
scenario 1:
my ex is into selling shirts and r sells them at their office. this i know since i was offered the shirts long time ago. i didn't know if they are still together. anyway, i came over to her office last week.
r: do you want to buy shirts?
me: oh, "those" shirts
r: yeah. "those" shirts
a few seconds of silence. then small chitchat afterwards.
scenario 2:
r: do you think this is awkward?
me: what "this"?
r: you. me.
me: no.
r: good.
and you know what? it really isn't awkward anymore! i may be forever scarred by the experience, but i guess i have completely moved on. besides, seeing my college bestfriend happy has been one of the best rewards that came out of it. she really deserves to be happy. some may call it finally accepting defeat, but i think there was no competition to begin with. so to r and r, just take care of each other, alright?
meanwhile, i've got a lot of things to look forward to. ive been stuck in my idealistic outlook in life and i have to be open to the new world that awaits me.
im speaking this as a general rule, i will..
admit what i needed to admit.
appear furious when im furious.
scream when im hurt.
sing to the top of my lungs when i feel like it.
dance when my hips call for it.
cease comparing the present with the past.
stop putting up with jerks.
live life to the fullest.
this is called stop hypocrisy movement. do your own share. let your repressed self break free full blast. life is too short for apprehensions.
