'Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing what to do

is the worst kind of suffering'

-Paulo Coelho: By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept'-

Getting stuck in the middle of nowhere is indeed one of the worst

torments one can feel. It can really be so frustrating, especially when

you're caught between two choices that seem so damn hard to face. Life is

always a matter of choosing and like love - should one stay or let go?

I was once lost, myself. I love this person so much but he already has his

girlfriend but despite that fact, he continuously gave me these hopes,

telling me that he still loves me but he just can't endure the fact that

we're miles apart. I was still foolish back then. I kept believing that

maybe, just maybe, he really does love me. But he taught me a lesson I

can never forget - A lesson that can seem so easy to do but in reality,

so hard to accept. I remember him telling me how I should live my life

in a simple manner. I soon realized his point. We, I mean all of us; tend

to complicate our lives by burdening ourselves with things that we perceived

as problems which, if we really look closely, are not really.

You see, life is always a matter of seeing things in perspective. Now,

should one suffer the pain of waiting or suffer the pain of forgetting.

Not knowing what to do is not an option. We all have to decide for ourselves -

decisions that should consider the welfare of our being. If you choose to endure

the pain of waiting, then so be it. But also consider the fact that you will

isolate yourself with just one person
