Heart checklist is a series of realizations and experiences I got from loving the people I love.
I had to break up with someone last year. It’s been a couple of months already, but I still find myself wondering sometimes. What would this year be like for us if the one before didn’t happen the way it did?
My heart has yet to be broken by a man. I have no experience with boys breaking my heart, and I don’t think I will ever have one knowing that I have a secure man in my life already. What I have plenty of are friendship heartbreaks.
I know myself to be someone who values her worth enough to not beg. That principle got tested when two of our dearest friends in UNO decided to distance themselves from the rest of the gang. One of them came to her senses and came back eventually. But the other? The other one made me lower my pride and beg for things to go back the way they were. For context, I have no part in the little misunderstanding that sparked the conflict. But I felt convicted to apologize and try to mend what’s been broken.
This whole drama started last year and kind of ended last year (considering how the person has chosen to confide with the other group in our class). However, it is only now that I’m learning to set things free.
A part of me was holding onto the thought of fixing the friendship. I don’t have enemies, and I intend to keep it that way. But sometimes, people come into our lives without the purpose of staying. Some of the people that we get fond of are only there to help us realize a thing or two about living. Then, they’d have to go their own way and leave.
Let them.
The more that we cling to what we want to happen in life, the more that we rob the Lord for the better plans He has in store for us. So if there’s anything or anyone blocking your way to move on to the future, do yourself a favor and set things free.
