Welcome to Heartbreak

It goes a little bit like this:
how long does it take you to hold on?
how long do you think you can keep something going with the vain hope that things will get better? with the vain hope that things will change? The problem is things do change, and for the better but the extent at which they change can never surpass the nature of that person. But often, we are blinded by the kindness and the passive acceptance, while the primary issues remain the same and we keep trying to look past that. The question we need to ask ourselves is how far we will go to make sacrifices for ourselves and that relationship so that neither of you gets hurt. Even then, it gets complicated. You would want it to be mutual, this separation, this agreement of terms of contract. But in the end, the way this relationship developed, one of you will end getting hurt anyway because the foundations upon which you built this relationship were never strong in the first place. When this breakup does happen then, you start realizing more clearly why is it you couldn't be with that person. The reasons why you used to judge him are no longer subjective, but are back to being objective. The distance that you create for each other will probably be what saves what little friendship remained from that relationship. That distance may also completely null that friendship. From far away, anything and everything look in a different light. Odds are though, what you may realize is that this light has been showing you that side of that person since the beginning. So when he asks you, "what did you honestly expect?", it will all become clear to you that this was indeed the right decision. Niccolò Machiaveli, an Italian political philosopher, once said that "one change leaves the way open for the introduction of others". Here, he's advocating that once we start changing aspects of yourselves, we're going to keep analyzing every little thing about us and keep taking more steps. The only thing we have to decide now is whether that change is for the good or the worse.
Just remember: you've seen it, you've seen it before.

Lo and Behold!

What are signs of hope?

They say a picture are worth a thousand words. Is is just possible a picture could be worth a thousand feelings at the same time? Is it possible with just one moment, every little bit of cynicism and negativity you may have may not disappear completely, but just let in a sign of positivity? How does it feel to see that all around you, to remember the hard struggles we went through and got where we got last night? I believed. My mother believed. My brother believed. My boyfriend believed. My best friend believed. My city believed. My country believed. My whole world believed. We believed that we can. Now we can best believe that we did.
















Witness a nation with hope. Be part of a world with expectations.
