Can you still recall the time when you were waking up each morning, feeling empty, feeling unmotivated, and feeling uninspired? Those were the times when you just had your break up. The time when the wound was still fresh. You can’t see it, but you can definitely feel it. You can feel that heavy burden on your chest, that deep sadness, and it stops you from functioning properly – even from eating.

Maybe, the feeling when you unexpectedly hit the table with the finger in your toe is the best way of describing the pain when a person leaves you – you’ll never see it coming, so it hurts you really bad when it hit you.

You feel like you’re at the dead-end of a road, and you can’t turn back. You feel like you’re lost in your own world, and you desperately want to get over with that feeling that you had done anything just to keep you busy and distracted.

And then days had passed, and you were starting to feel better. Albeit the pain was still there, but you felt that it’s becoming lighter and lighter. You were starting to find joy again in every little thing that you do – you’re beginning to find hope again.

And then he comes back, feeling sorry for everything, sincerely.

And you get scared for trying once again. A lot of what-ifs suddenly comes into your mind. What if it doesn’t work? What if he gives up again? What if I get hurt again?

You see, a lot of people don’t find real happiness because they are afraid to go back to what hurt them. Of course, nobody does. But what if you look at it from a different perspective? Besides, if he did not do anything bad on your past relationship, why not give yourselves a chance? What if this time, it worked? All you have to do is try. So in the end, regardless if it’s going to work or not, at least you found out yourself and you wouldn’t have any regrets.
