Sometimes, the only choice that you have is to move forward, and never to look back again.

Shout-out to some friends who never got tired of listening, to some workmates who were always understanding, and to some random strangers who never judged – with the help of them, I am finally taking my steps away from you.

I can still recall those times when I was waking up, feeling nothing – feeling empty. I just wanted to lie on my bed and cry. And today, whenever those days suddenly come into my head, I just guffaw. And I can’t believe I finally reached the point of wholeheartedly deciding to let go of you, to let go of the thoughts that we’re still going to make it, and to never look back again.

To be honest, I didn’t know what happened, I just woke up, feeling okay, the burden is gone, the pain is gone, and all that I have is inner peace. Some of the things I learned while I was in the process of healing are you should take the moment and time of being alone to re-evaluate and rebuild yourself, to know your worth, and what you truly deserve.

And one day, you’re just going to wake up, with a realization in your mind and heart that happiness can’t be always found - it is sometimes made.
