It sometimes happens to close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts. Everybody falls in love. Sometimes, we love so much that we lose ourselves in our passions. Usually, we wonder why there is love that grows, and there is love that grows cold. Then, we start searching for answers, and we try finding where love has gone off beam, only to see ourselves where we started because we can’t question love when love has its reasons.

Love will always be just as it has always been—silent, enigmatic, and acutely profound.

Many believe that love is forever, never dies, only to be disappointed in the end when they find their hands empty and their hearts longing. They mistakenly think that love is a need to be satisfied. But love is just a gift given to them. They shouldn’t hold it in their hands because they may never find the strength to let it go. They should just embrace its warmth and spark while it lasts and then open their arms when it’s time to say goodbye.

When people fall in love, they don’t want that feeling to end, for it is everything that they wanted. They pray that love will stay and grow in their hearts. But, if it doesn’t, then they should never let their lives be taken by it, because life shouldn’t end where heartaches start.

There is always a reason why people have to move on. When they have to say goodbye to feelings they wanted to stay forever, let them not wave their hands with heavy hearts. Love must set its wings free and find the home where it belongs. They may have lost it, but then again, when they close their eyes and listen to the echoes of their hearts, people will hear that feeling resounding silently forever. Then, they’ll know that love has never left them because the righteous people they had become because of love will always stay. It will still be there reminding them that they should be thankful and happy, not because they have lost love, but because, for once in their lives, that feeling lived in their hearts and made them happy.

Love,

Too many women and men find themselves in situations where they lose themselves in the process of holding on to a man or a woman. They became the women or the men who kept being mistreated and formed habits of saying that they were used with being abused. They became the unappreciated women or men and lied to themselves that the whole process was all right. Even when they were undervalued, those women or men learned to say they were fine.

Day after day, they were put last, and they naturally reacted with the same attitude of “whatever.” They became the women or men taken for granted and they dealt with this situation by repeating like a mantra that everything was okay. Even when they became unhappy, they still told people that they were going to be okay.

The ones reading this right now should understand that nobody is worth losing yourself for him or her, nobody is worth suffering for at the expense of your happiness, and nobody is worth tormenting yourself over for the sake of making the other partner happy. At this point, perhaps losing him or her is the only way you would be able to get yourself back because, as much as you wouldn’t want this to be true, he or she was the only thing that was in your way of finding yourself he was the only reason you had lost yourself for so long.

Love,

She wrote to forget her pain and her sadness, she wrote to forget the woman she were when she were there. She has never known love like that before and writing became her way of coping with losing something she has cherished. Back at her writing table, she would be alone with her thoughts and her notebook. A few visions flew through her mind. She smiled remembering those moments, she took a breath in and felt an overwhelming feeling of contentment. She was into a black abyss longing for a past that would never come back. She concentrated at her paper and wrote, knowing that, in time, she would regain her strength. But first, she had to heal and to be alone. Carmen Monica
