The One

Visiting other places are one of my dreams but I have to put

it on hold because I wanted to travel with my “the one”. That’s what I told myself years ago and funny as it may sound, I had my lists which one to visit first. Yes, I told myself that I wanted to explore the world with you (whoever you may be) with those dreamy…romantic escapades. But, I’m getting old and I’m missing those beautiful experiences that I should’ve been experiencing already. Why do I have to wait for you?

I still waited and waited and waited and finally, God heard my prayers.

Someone came into my life with those cheesy moments that gave my hopes high that he could’ve been my “the one”. He asked me to travel with him but I can’t make a big “yes”. I was wondering why? Maybe because I’m scared and there’s a feeling that going with him alone will be all wrong. My travel dream with my supposedly “the one” failed.

With all my surprise, the relationship didn’t last long. I thought what I see in movies are only in movies but I was all wrong. It happened to me and it might happen to you as well.☺ Those my world-are-falling-apart-feeling, those were all real! Those can't-eat-no-talk, oh yeah it gave me such a wonderful experience. (I am all okay now, thank God!)

To cut the story short, while I was having my-me-bedtime-silent-moment, my Aunt asked me to go with her for a holiday. I think she sensed how I really felt that time. I wanted to jump right into her idea but I was hesitant because it will be luxurious.

My second thought said yes. GO! Forget all those dreams, you’re just daydreaming. Cut it all off and go.

We flew to You-Rope with my family (Tita Anna, Ate May and Ate Hilda) on the 2nd of December 2016. Yes, that was more than a year already.

I never thought that with all these dramas it would take me to different places. Thank you.

These are the things that I’ve learned.

• Don’t make a list. Let things flow freely or naturally.

• Don’t rely your dreams on others / “the one”.

• You’re old enough to do things alone.

• Don’t limit yourself to things that will make you happy.

• Always remember that love and pain will be partners forever. You'll get used to it. And it will make you stronger.

• And no matter what happens, a family/friend will always be there to back you up. Be good with them.

Life doesn't ends here. There are greater things planned ahead of us and God will not let you fall without Him giving you back-up plans.

Be happy for who you are, what you have and delight yourself in the Lord. "The one" is just around the corner.

Until the next travel but this time my heart is whole.
