There are some things you can never say; things such as falling in love with someone you promised yourself not to; things such as falling in love with someone who is already happy with someone else. There are things the heart may want, but that is where the brain must step in.
2016 has taught me how to do proper closures to seemingly never-ending events. A breakup and a 10-month-old secret that I kept until the very end – I thought I’d shatter before graduation, everyone else who eventually knew thought I would shatter. But I didn’t. Waiting for apologies that never came, you learn to forgive them anyway. You learn that love is not about possession; love is as free as a bird is to fly. You learn that when you love someone, you should let them go – like dandelions in the sky.
True beauty lies in subtlety, the smallest of details and the tiniest of occurrences. You learn that never hearing from someone again is not a curse, but a blessing. You learn that you can still visit them whenever you want in your dreams, as long as you want to. You learn that the image of someone you fell in love with will stay forever, regardless how the actual person will change over time. You learn that all it takes is a smile to change everything you once believed in, and you learn to forgo the hatred you once bore against someone for no good reason. You learn that elegance is an attitude, and confidence can be learnt.
I am built out of nothing but layers and layers of firm beliefs. Someday, some of these beliefs must come true – that I strongly believe. My empire is certain despite being built on blocks of uncertainties, an empire that will someday rise way above all other mountains.
The door will open to the one who knocks.
