I have learnt.
If there's one thing I have learnt from my 2 and a half decade on this planet is that life is a learning process. A process that is never going to cease until the moment we stop breathing. Over the past years, I have come to reconcile with the fact that, life happens whether we want it or not.
Not all relationships exist forever. Not because you are the bad person. Not because the other person is not deserving. Because things may or may not last forever. Even if they were to, circumstances do change things. Maybe you meet your soulmate and you let go. Not because both of you are too arrogant to care, but because life is more than just getting and receiving. It's more than just having someone for yourself, forever. There might not be a forever, ever. The whole idea of forever is so relative and misleading.
People do walk into your life to teach you lessons. You learn, you enjoy, you stay, at times you leave. It is so incorrect to say that you didn't enjoy every bit of the moment you shared with them. The truth of the matter is, you did. If you hadn't you wouldn't have taken a chance with staying, in the first place. It is easier to ask someone to stay, forever. What is much more difficult is to appreciate the fact that letting go while still acknowledging the fact that you gave it your all when you had it, makes you more human than having it forever.
I have learnt that, no matter how many times I deny the good I had, it wouldn't make me better. It wouldn't change what I had or what I felt or what someone else did for me. If there is anything I have reconciled with, then it would definitely be the fact that just because something doesn't exist in the present does not mean that it is not worth appreciating. At times it is better to have learnt than never have experienced anything, at the cost of maybe a heartache.
