ON BREAK-UPS *

I never give good advices on break-ups. What am I supposed to say, right? Probably the best one I ever gave goes something like this - "It's not something you have never experienced before. Your last one was okay and you managed to get over it. Yosi lang yan." (Then I gave him a HUG!) Break-ups hurt no matter who dumped who. But isn't it just the same pain like our first or second break-up? I'd rather go through that break-up than go on pretending that everything's okay. When the same issues resurface each and every time, one of the parties must admit that "It's over!". That's the only way to do it. People often justify delaying IT by saying "tomorrow we'll be okay", "it's just a phase", "i'm confused right now", etc. The truth is tomorrow might still be the same as today and yesterday. Face it! A lot of people are scared to face the truth that the relationship's over even before they actually break up. They turn to many things to conceal that crack in their relationship. It only makes the crack bigger to the point that it's irrepairable. Remember there's no proper time or proper way to say "It's over". No matter how much you sugar-coat it, sprinkle it with glitter and all that, it's going to hurt no matter what. The only way to do it is to tell him the truth.
