acceptance maybe the hardest thing that we need to face in this world.

things changed, happy voice sounds off, words becomes cold, the written and deleted message, and the bridge burned. but memory stay linger and the feelings still attached.

as a person who endured many toxic things from the people I loved, I tend to endured many things that.. ‘it sounds off but ah maybe he/she would be okay after this’. even we think “i don’t deserve this” but we just… stay there. being nice and keep thinking we’ll gonna be alright.

people may say i’m the worst people ever because i always standing there even my heart bleeding after this happen. but you know what? after some days without him/her, we feel alone.

because even he/she doing something that we don’t deserve, one day.. they did a good thing to us. like, he/she remember our favourite date. he/she understand us in the way we want. and… when we thought “yes this is over” and they did us dirty again…

and it makes a connected circles. repeatedly.

this is toxic. a relationship, friendship or lovers should work both ways, not only one people who running ahead and the other one just stay there to feel the love.

this is why we need “Acceptance”.

when i was a kid, my mom always said i need to learn to work and live alone so we could live a life even nobody around us. and today i understand why she said that to me.

acceptance. when we thought this relationship already feel off and bitter, take a brave choice to get yourself a happiness that you deserve. staying and repeatedly stabbed is not okay. accept that is over. loneliness isn’t a reason that we need to get back and start over.. no. accept that it’s over and just go.

regrets may comes on your head, but no, there is no such a thing that you need to be regretted, because you’ve walked away from the flames.

move on may be hard, but don’t let loneliness drive you away to the house that you don’t belong there.

you deserved better.
