"1 lesson i learnt throughout this whole ordeal. I will never be happy if lived for someone else's happiness. I will not feel fulfilled, if i live to what others expect of me. I feel happiest being who i am. And thats who i wanna be right now. No more nonsense, no more heroic self sacrifice. What good does it do if sacrifice uncalled for brings only unmet expectations? I think i'm better this way. I think i'm happier this way.

I've stop beating myself up for things that are not going my way. I've come to terms with accepting that i've did my best and given my all. If thats not good enough, i know that its not within my means. No point in feeling depressed and inadequate. I know i'm more than that. Much more." (from James_Tay's Journal)

I think I should start doing this. I should wake up from this reverie. I thought I was over this. I think I am dwelling too much on things that I cannot hold onto. I should stop going around in circles. I have never felt so small and so insignificant in my life. And that shouldn't be the case. I am needed by people who needs me. I am loved by people who accepts me as who I am. I have to start to think of myself. Stop being selfless cause it's getting me nowhere. It has to end right here, right now. I am breaking free...

i'm having a hard time forgetting someone too...and i've felt what you are feeling...
about being selfless...i guess, it's part of loving...but then, it is true that we have to think of ourselves too..
i've read from a book...when there is no love for oneself...there will be resistance to accept love from others...
love means appreciation to the beauty that was given to each of us...we all deserve to be loved...may not be the kind of love that we want...but we are loved everyday...

i find that if you dwell on something, it is hard to forget... and to let go. eh, hilig mo pa mandin mag-"process". sometimes it is best to simply "cut the thread".

true, kahinayang din yung friendship if you simply turned your back, but, isn't it possible you just use this reason for a glimmer of hope that maybe...?

yun lang!

agree... it's a pretty daunting task to live for someone else's happiness. we ought to be 'selfish' and 'self-centered' sometimes for our own good and happiness. didn't they say that before you can give yourself to someone else, you have to love yourself first? ergo, before other people lavish you with love and respect, you have to give it to yourself first. so hard to learn this somehow. like you sis, i'm still learning this rope of freedom, still... guess, it's a lifelong process :-D

onwards to a better 2006 for both of us! ;-)
