yeah....Things will only get better

Francis * stomped into the room.

" Tell me straight in the face that you want a break up and please don't sms things like 'I think it's no longer possible between the two of us'. If you want to be treated like an adult, please behave like one."

She stood up. There was silence in the room.

He recomposed himself and asked, "Is there a 3rd party?"

She looked shocked and paused for a while. She shook her head.

****************************

Francis was in shocked. He looked at the pictures sent to him. It showed Stella * with Bryan, holding hands. Bryan was her colleague. And it was only 2 mths after their "split".

************************************

I've met Francis on the plane. He was seated at the next seat across the aisle. He looked troubled but nevertheless, he initiated a conversation with me.

"It's been 5 years. How could she?"

Oh well my dear friend, any thing's possible? People have extremely short term memory and I must say selective ones too. Learn to love yourself , protect yourself. Be selfish. I'm sorry to offer you this piece of advice. But before you can love again , you have to learn to love yourself (again).

What's this thing call feeling? Just like the stock market. You go through the ups and downs, the highs and lows. You win some, you lose some. When the market is bullish, people forget about the pains they've been through during a crash. When there's a crash, people cry over spilled milk. So do you want to be in this game?

**************************************

Sorry God , but I'm unable to do what You have have taught.

" So are you still friends with your former girlfriends?" That was the last question of our conversation before we got off the plane.

I took a deep breadth.

" No. I don't think we'll ever be, regardless of the situations leading to our split. When I'm single, I don't wish to be reminded of the feeling of being 'kicked out.' When I'm seeing someone, I treasure her and have no wish to subject her to any kind of unwarranted jealousy."

I know I'm fucking selfish. But well that beats being subjected to another round of emotional turmoil ?

I've more important things to attend to than to allow unnecessary thoughts to undermine my efforts in living my life again.

" It won't make you feel any better "
