Where do they go from here?

Sometimes it is always better that a dreadful issue in my life or a not-as-tragic-as-it-sounds-out-loud-than-in-my-head kinda issue, falls under my "by choice" than "by fate" category. However, the fact is sometimes it makes me feel much better that I tried my very best but it didn't work out the way I hoped it would simply because it was out of my hands. A twist of fate. Like all the other species on the planet evolving to adapt, I accept what fate brought my way.

A little less than perfect.

If 'amazing' means struggle-free, sparkflying romantic perfection, I'm afraid they are seeking something that is not possible. But if it means honest, evolving imperfect relationships that are rooted in friendship, respect and trust, cultivated through time, struggle and patience. Then 'amazing' is a good relationship goal to aspire to.

Rage like fire.

Although I tend to do that a lot, I hate to say this but I hate when people bring up issues from the past in an argument! A sign of deep seated resentment. But sometimes, it is inevitable. You see, right in the middle of an argument, I surprise myself by bring the silliest most irrelevant things up. They say the more you love and care about someone, the more you pay attention to the little details that might have hurt your feelings. I was the type that needed to clear my head before the serious talk. But now, I tend to snap at people I care about for the silliest things. I make no sense anymore, not even to myself.

In a rose colored bubble no more.

With all the transition that was happening around me, somehow by the end of 2011, I became speechless. It all became larger than words. You know, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Except the part that, unlike butterflies, the world around me wasn't all rosy and rainbow-ish. Life popped my little rose-colored bubble. I like to believe that it is slowly, very slowly, falling into place. I have faith that everything that has happened is for the best, my best. By Jan, 2012. I started seeing where it went wrong, where it got all better. So many things had changed in me and around me. Really, I never saw me here or even through this much. You see I started to believe in heartbreak after high expectations and too much hope, the power of eye cream, the cure of time, the magic of Argan Oil, the art of letting go and comfort food.
