Something new about me...

I'm surprised. Normally, I'd be down right depressed this very moment. I'd be bitter, cynical, skeptical and disappointed. Fortunately, I'm not. I'm still happy. I can still smile but not the fake kind. I guess my Prince has also taught me to have a happy heart despite his absence.

I have faith. I know my Prince will find his way. And I can live without him at this moment. It's not imperative that we're together this very moment, although it doesn't hurt. HEHE With him in my heart, I can face anything.

I used to think that I've lost so much of myself through the years. I gave so much of myself and my time to people who hurt me, abused me in some way and left me. I was wrong, I didn't lose anything. In fact, I gained more of myself through such experiences. I guess I just missed that part of my life when I was carefree and ignorant. And everyone knows we all need to grow up at one point.

Overtime, I've started learning things about me, that I never knew I had in me. Now I understand what they say "The courage to lose something is also the courage to accept that you still have much to learn about yourself and your life." Through these losses I gained much more than I expected.

My Prince and my life's experiences have taught me to accept and embrace magic moments without hesitations. (Are you getting tired of me, rambling about my magic moments?! HAHA) It takes great courage for me to do that being a self confessed cynic and skeptic. I am the kind of person who expects people to disappoint me. I didn't have much faith in people, due to several experiences in the past. And I have to say that it's changed me and my outlook in life. I no longer need to convince myself to be positive. It's like it's natural for me do it. I've stopped worrying if things are going to work out. I already know they will, at the right time, as long as you ask for guidance and do your best.

I can now see that life is truly simple. That even if life is sometimes hard, these magic moments make you realize that it is worth the pain and hardship. That without adversity you cannot experience how it is to live.
