Of Losing and Gaining

I catched up with a dear old friend in YM recently and I was caught in disbelief when she broke the news that she and her boyfriend of two years had called it quits. I thought everything was doing well for them especially that they’ve been really remarkable in handling their long-distance relationship and has been mulling over marriage for quite some time. After she spilled the whole story, I can’t help but feel bad too. I know everthing happens for a reason. I am very sure God has far more wonderful plans for her. Just hang on, dear. Free yourself of all the negative vibes. Keep looking at the bright side of it all. I know the best awaits you. :-)

Speaking of the bright side, I am so excited for my FFL (Friend For Life, hehe!). In a matter of days, she will be seeing her sweet little angel for the first time after nine months of nurturing it inside her. Oh!!! I’m always getting a little emotional everytime I think about it. It seems like yesterday when we were babyish teeners. Now, we are embarking on a new ground with all the wisdom we have gained from past experiences. I’m so happy for you, friend. I know you are having something that you’ve always wanted. I am very sure you’ll be a great mom.

Life indeed is full of surprises. You’ll never know what is in store for you. But as long as you have faith, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Whether you lose some and gain some along the way, the important thing is that you have loved and touched other people’s lives. I guess that’s what living a life is all about.
