the hardest things

i visited ny niece-in-law's blog (jen, thank you very much! i miss you...) and found this interesting post which i swiped and edited to capture some of the things that have been going through my mind lately...

THE HARDEST THINGS (some of them...)

a. Realizing that you have been TRICKED after you have given your WHOLE TRUST
b. Letting GO of someone you've LOVED ALL YOUR LIFE
c. Bracing yourself for the worst kind of pain... & still hurting so much
d. Loving someone too much and learning to love the pain that goes with it...

"Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave."

funny how we can experience a whole gamut of emotions and they are somehow all "related". you shift from one emotion to the next as fluidly as possible.

i know that when my friends and family chance upon this post of mine they'll be intrigued to no end. even if i'd like to explain what it all means, ibalato nyo na lang sa akin 'to. then, just say a prayer for me...
