AN OPEN LETTER TO COUPLES BREAKING UP
Tired? Rest. Fed up? Lose some baggage. Can’t take it anymore? Breathe. Do what you have to. If breaking up is the BEST option for you, go for it. But if you still love each other, give it another shot. Adjust. Change. Stay.
Look. I may not know the reason why you decided to go separate ways but if there is one thing I’m sure of, it’s that you don’t give up on love. Never ever give up on the person you love. Why don’t you remember why you fell in love with them in the first place? Is it because of their smile? Their eyes? The way they make you feel? Their quirkiness? Because they’re funny and you just click? Everything. Remember everything.
Now think about all the wrong things they did. I’m sure those things hurt you. But you had the heart to forgive them right? So why can’t you do that now? Another thing. What about all the things they did right? Aren’t those enough reasons for you to stay? Do their shortcomings weigh out all the right things they did?
If not, why don’t give each other a chance? You’ve invested so much in your relarionship only for it to fall apart? What about the love? The memories? The romantic moments you had with each other? Are they not worth fighting for?
Sometimes, we are so busy looking for the right person that we forget we can do everything to be right for someone. Sure there’s always someone better. Some may say you deserve better. But how can you know that the one you have now is not the best?
Love is a beautiful thing. Love never says “I have done enough.” Take a break if you need to. Cry if you want to. After all, if you’re not crying for love, what else is worth crying for?
Waiting is hard. But regretting is even harder.
