Don't end the friendship as well.

"Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I have to walk by here again?" - Anonymous

Over the past month or so since we started Men Are Here, i've heard sob stories, fairy tales, tales of woe..you name it.

Funnily enough though, across all the experiences i've absorbed from countless friends, one fact holds true.

The joy of finding someone to love, and the pain of losing that same person somewhere down the line.

All good things must come to an end they say. Instead of banging your head on that wall of yours, tell yourself this -

You don't find love everyday, but everyday you shared with that person until the break up occured, you were in love. Count your lucky stars that you had the opportunity to find someone to love. Now go and paint that wall of yours. Yeah you.

Don't regret the break up, and don't blame it on anyone. Sometimes break ups happen, and in retrospect, usually we're all the better for it.

Don't hate the person you used to love. Try your very best to remain friends, remember the good times and let the bad ones fade away as distant memories.

Last week..

During my *ehem* sick days, I had the luxury of having two very caring friends who, in spite of the fact that i was sick, bitched about my health, told me what to do and what not to do and constantly found reasons for why i was sick. Yet, one of them brought me to the doctor and the other brought me out for lunch. Yeah, they bitched about my smoking and complained on how i never watched what i eat...while they both brought me out, and I, being the typical dick, made faces...but i couldn't have done it without them.

The moral and emotional support that you guys gave me kept me from going over into depression mode (even though i didn't look like i was..). The most ironic part of it all was that, in spite of our differences before, we get along "reasonably" well these days.

Oh, did i forget to mention? Lol. I also used to date them.

Yeah, the break ups were horrid, but time heals all wounds and here I am (years later) still slightly sick (from the fever, not the Break up!), and i thank god that i am blessed with these two very lovely souls. You girls are amazing, and I am humbled that you're still around whenever i'm down and out. Thank you so very much; you both know who you are. :)

So boys and girls, remember that even though the line between love and hate is paper thin..the choice to hate is ultimately up to you. We're all human; and forgiveness is the most important aspect of being human.
