The One Mind And A Million Thoughts
"If you love something, let it go.."
What a catchphrase, huh.. An obvious contradiction, yet it makes perfect sense. It's hard, I know. I mean, having to let go of something so precious in your life, it's like taking away an arm. Torturous? Maybe.. But wouldn't it be much more torturing, if we have to wake up every single day, thinking about it, and not being able to move on..?
Thinking about it makes me sad.. Yeah, it's easier said than done. Heh. I don't know, it somehow reminds me of my late Grandmother.. In a way, that is.. Reminiscences.. Though it has all became a history of the past, it seems so yesterday.. Man, I've never expected her to go so fast. I loved her more than anything else.. And I still do. She's someone nobody could ever replace.. But then.. Maybe God loves her more than I do.
"If you love something, let it go.."
That's the same phrase someone told me the day she passed away.. But I couldn't.. I just...can't. I couldn't accept the fact that someone who'd do anything to see us family happy, gone. Just like that. Hmmm.. I thought about her everyday.. But soon, I realized that I couldn't be living in denial anymore. "Get over it, Zakaria, or let it haunt you for the rest of your life.." Well, it took me 3 months to finally let her go.. It was tough as hell, but I just had to..
"If you love someone, let him/her go.."
So yeah.. It's a cliche, I know.. But nothing lasts forever. Maybe it's not fated. Maybe it's already being written. Nobody knows.. Think about it.
Note To Self:
if you love something, let it go.
if it comes back to you, it's yours forever.
if it doesn't, then it was never meant to be...
oh..
and our conversation just now struck me into writing this..
heh..
