Ideally

Ideally, what has worked for years should be deemed as infallible, right? Right. As you know, I like to actually have written theories/mottoes to live by. Though they have worked for me for the past five years, glitches come up and I find myself stuck not knowing what to do.

Sometimes, we have to learn how to adapt, and to adjust to situations and to people that come into or that are already in our lives. We can't keep walking out and away when things get tough or different. We can't keep hoping that one day there will be people willing to break down our walls because we've been hurt way too many times. We have to learn how to be vulnerable and be ready for the pain because whether we believe it or not - it's worth the pain in the end. We just don't think about it because we're too busy trying to find ways to mend our broken heart. As if.

But, here's the tricky part. What if the other person isn't willing to be a part of your life anymore? How do you deal with that without being the one who bails out? Are we supposed to force ourselves on them like they really want us? Sometimes, we think that we're leaving someone when in reality, we're only moving on in hopes of them one day catching up with us so we finish whatever journey we're on together. We always need to be moving forward. We can't keep babying the world, it has to grow someday. We just have to be careful by not closing doors on them either. I don't know, but I have simply learned that honesty is the key. Honesty with pure intentions, respect and love. Honesty that is not final and a goodbye. Honesty that is, I repeat, purely out of respect and love. Before we take the hint to go and take a hike, we must give ourselves a direction. When we no longer know what to do, we have to move on and maybe, just maybe find each other again somewhere along this road of life.

Sometimes, we don't always get what we want the way we want it and that's where disappointment comes in. We get saddened because people are not in our lives the way they used to be. We forget that we have to learn how to adjust to the way they have changed and not be too prideful to keep them out when they're willing to stick around. We must learn how to use of everyone around us, including God... but at the same time not take advantage nor take anyone for granted. Balance is the key.

We need to know how to stay up and constantly moving- otherwise, we'd fall in the same place over and over and over again.
