PARA SA MGA SAWI
Some might be having a cold Christmas this coming holiday season, but hopefully not most of us. Unfortunately, I’m one of those “some” who’d probably end up having a damned and depressed holiday season. Yup! “Malamig na naman ang pasko ko.”… But it’s definitely colder this time around. It’s just depressing that I’m not the only one who’s feeling this way. As the days passed by, I’ve become aware that some people I know are also having a blue Christmas. With that said, it only pinpoints the lovelife category. Usually, I’d say that my case is worse than theirs but probably their problems are much depressing than mine.
Whatever our problems may be, still, the message of this holiday season is love! No one can condone that love is not the focal point of Christmas. Like the song says, “why don’t you give love on Christmas day?” But it’s actually hard if you have some ill feelings about another person. Christmas should be the time for peace and love. But how can you be honest to yourself and to the season if you have some altercation with another person, especially if that person is the one you love the most. How can you feel the true essence of Christmas if you cannot give love with full honesty? How can you achieve peace if you could not make-up with the one that you made war with? And how can you feel the Love, if you couldn’t receive it from the one that you would like to give it to you?
These are just some questions that we personally can only answer. “SAWI” A 4-letter word that strikes hard on the heart and pierces right thru the soul. Probably, most of us have experienced to be like this. But being like this during the Christmas season is such a pain in the ass because you could never honestly say that you would truly be happy even if it’s Christmas because a part of you, may it be huge or tiny, is still sad and melancholic. I know, the one reading this “crap” of mine, might be having a hard time realizing my point. But actually, my point is just plain and simple. “Kung sawi ka lalo na kapag magpapasko, mas doble yung sakit…At hipokrito ka kung sasabihin mong tunay kang masaya kasi nga Pasko, kahit sa loob-loob mo e talagang nasasaktan ka pa rin.”
All of us aspire to love and to be loved in return. Failing to achieve that is such a blow to our egos and even to our whole personal view of the world. Here are just some pieces of advice for those who are “SAWI” (You know who you are. Don’t worry; I’m one of you, if that’d make you feel a little bit better…Well, I hope so.)
1) For those who let go of someone who you regret letting go.
a) Regret nothing because maybe you don’t know, she/he loved you more because you let him/her go even if it’s against your will. Always put in mind, that being selfless is better than being selfish, and that the reward is far more greater in the former than in the latter.
b) Time will tell. Letting go of a certain person gives that person a chance to grow and to also realize your worth. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say. Let time decide. If you’re meant to be, God will make ways to intertwine your souls somewhere down the road.
2) For those who still love their EX but his/her EX does not feel the same way anymore and already likes/loves another.
a) Always keep the memories. May it be the ups or the downs, everything happens for a reason. Only you and your EX alone shared those moments with each other, and it happened for a reason. Smile it away whenever you feel some hate.
b) Let go if it’s time to let go. If he/she likes another, let him/her be. It’s much painful to force a person to return to the past if he/she has moved on to the present and already having a different path than your own.
c) Be happy for him/her, for you to also be happy. We should never own someone or worse we should never feel that we are the only one for that certain person because time has its ways and different kinds of people will eventually enter our lives.
3) For those who have fallen for there bestfriend.
a) Be ready to sacrifice. Two vital things can only be in danger at this situation, 1st is your friendship and 2nd is your feelings. You decide what is harder to take for the heart.
b) The best couples are the ones who have a strong friendship. It’s more delightful to be married to your bestfriend, everything will just feel natural. And no matter what, it’ll be him/her you’ll run to in the end whenever there’s a problem. You’re already comfortable to lay your head on his/her shoulder.
c) If things go bad. That’s where your strong friendship shall be truly tested. If he/she couldn’t take that you have feelings for him/her, then he/she may not be such the bestfriend that you think he/she really is. Coz only your bestfriend could understand you no matter what.
I know, some certain persons can relate to these situations. You know who you are. SAWI man tayo ngayon, wag mag-alala! Nasa 1st-Half pa lang tayo ng buhay natin. Dami pang pwedeng mangyari! Punta na tayo sa dug-out, get our head in the game(of life). May 2nd-half pa! Improve on your weaknesses and focus more. Ika nga ni JAWO, “This is you! This is you!” You have a certain and specific role! So work your role to the fullest!
