ode to the heart

Situ Cangkuang, Garut. 19 May 2012.

Here’s to the girls who are strong enough to let go. Here’s to those who are brave enough to leave a relationship that’s not working (anymore). It’s okay to cry, and it’s okay not to cry. You will be okay, maybe not today, but eventually. He might be a prince charming, but prince charmings are for helpless princesses. You are strong and you are brave; you deserve a knight in shining armour who will fight for you. Surely, memories of him are killing you slowly. You want to forget but that’s not how it works. You can’t forget memories; you can only prevent them from popping out every now and then. Create new memories, go on road trips, join new clubs. Most of all, go on with your life. Stop perusing your timeline to see if he recently tweets something. Stop visiting his profile page to see how he’s doing. It doesn’t matter anymore. Focus on yourself. You’ve spent two years and a half to take care of him; now it’s time for you to take care of yourself. Don’t worry (too much). Remember this: you are loved. Someone else out there is thinking about you and trying to find you as soon as possible. Take your time. Don’t force yourself. Time will eventually heal the wound.

Sincerely,
Putdar.
