I broke up with my Past.

When the moment calls for you to finally break up with your past, with everything else around you showing the necessity for and inevitability of it, pakiusap lang, don’t struggle anymore. Set yourself free from the chains of emotional imprisonment —because you don’t need it. I’ll take it from Aissa on our “round-table discussion” in Bohol last week, “contrary to common practice, relationships don’t have to be complicated. We just make them that way.” It doesn’t always have to be a you-and-me-against-the-world kind of thing. True, you work hard at the relationship and it’s not always a walk in the park. But if eighty percent of the time you are trying to make the relationship work and keeping it from falling apart, then we are missing the obvious.

We are always left with a choice and this week, the choice is period over a comma. And by God’s grace, I did it. I finally took the risk to put a period to what has long been a question mark, a comma, a question mark, and another comma.

No more settling for what’s there or what’s left. Let’s just put the past behind us, live the Present, and look forward to a good future as God promised. :-)

“I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me.” – Psalm 57:2

  1. Our lives/living comes with punctuation marks. What we use and how we use them depends on who, why, what, when, and where.

  2. yeahh, kz! under the circumstances, would an exclamation point be better? :)

  3. @Plaridel: In my other blog, friends were so excited over this blog. Seems like everyone was just waiting for me to end it, or at least, to personally call it quits. Hmmm.

    Yes, three exclamation points then!

  4. three exclamation points? i like that!!!

    friends were “so excited” or do you mean “not so excited” about this blog? well, if the latter is the case, i can assure you that your friends mean well. but it’s your heart that you have to follow.

  5. They were excited finally at the prospect of me taking my moving on to the next level. Actually, I was already going that direction about 4 months ago. So i’m sure kaya ko this time :)
