Wipe those tears away

I used to visit forums on relationships when I was getting over my exes. Sometimes I was embarrassed by it, hiding my screen whenever my friends came over. But I found it quite comforting reading other people's experiences. The topics I searched for changed over time as I went into and out of each phase of moving on.

Today, I decided to go back to Loveshack.org and take a look. Found this post by DenverBachelor and cried.

Wipe those tears away ...

Wipe those tears away. You may be hurting because the future didn't unfold the way you thought it would. Silly us, for being the stronger of the two for wanting to stick out the roughest times. Silly us, for believing that something in a chaotic world would last for eternity. Silly us, for putting ourselves in the front lines during the worst of the storm only to be struck by lightning and having to recover.

That's life -- we can't predict the future or assume the present will carry on as it is like a river that never twists or turns.

Silly us, for being stronger than the one that left us -- only to become stronger while they become more confused.

This is life.

I guess it was a good thing I got dumped, cos I would wanna work it out despite all the crap I put up with. I wonder if I'll ever find a good guy who will be strong with me. I guess it doesn't matter if I don't. I think I would rather stay single forever than be unhappy with a weak guy again.
