“When you’re dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part”
-John Meyer
Ever had that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you don’t feel like getting up? When you just feel so depressed and thought that sleeping is better than waking up, that dreams are better than reality? That moment when you had to ask yourself, “Para saan pa ba ang pagbangon ko?”
I believe we all had that moment in our lives. After a tragic incident, ending a relationship, after losing someone so dear to us, or whatever it was that made us feel so down. It is when we felt like our world collapsed and we are broken into pieces that we would thought of just sleeping the whole day and wish we don’t have to wake up anymore. But then, it won’t simply happen. As the morning comes, we would open our eyes, face the reality that what used to be there and we used to have is already gone, and go through another day of enduring that pain in our hearts until we get to sleep again. As each day would pass by, we have to breathe and make a living. Even if we want to go back to sleep, we will get up from our bed, go to work or school, and we would continue living our everyday life, everyday routine.
Yes. It was like, there’s no life anymore. . .
Not until we learn to let go of that hurt we have been carrying in our hearts.
After living a life full of pain for quite some time, there comes a point where we have to let it go, and detach from it. We have to stop holding on to something that is not already there, to stop waiting for nothing and to feel unhurt. It may take some time, surely it will. Facing each day bearing such pain wouldn’t be that easy, but keep in mind that it will all heal. As they say, all wounds heal as time goes by. It may leave a scar, but that scar is there only to remind us of the lesson we learned from the experience not to dwell on our loss or grief. As the morning comes, open your eyes, wake up, get up and try to think of positive thoughts. It may be hard at first, but remember, everyday is a new beginning. Everyday is another chance for us to fight that sadness in our hearts. Everyday is another chance for us to do good, to be better and be stronger than ever. Each morning is always another fresh beginning for us to live again... To start over again. =)
