Let Go

Have you ever experienced a situation when you can do nothing but giving up? When the person you really love has to go and you can do nothing but saying goodbye?

I am in that kind of situation right now and it really breaks my heart. I'm not talking about boyfriend or anything similar, it's my teacher. Maybe some of you wonder, why would I be sad just because of a teacher? She is not just a teacher. She teaches chemical and also my homeroom teacher. That might not seem very special to you, but she is special for me. Although I am not the closest student to her, but somehow she has a special place in my heart that even I don't know. So, why am I sad? Well, she has a cancer. Whenever I think about cancer, I just remembered my grandmother who passed away because of cancer. I don't want that to happen to my favorite teacher. However, though I've prayed every night, it seems that God has another plan. Her condition now is not well, not even better. And wishing her to get well soon sounds ridiculous. I'm not being pessimistic, I tried to be realistic. Because I know, high expectations cause so much pain. I have to accept the fact that she might not be able to teach us again. I never knew that she is so important to me, but she is. When I heard about her condition today, I cried. The only thing I can do is to let God do the rest.

Sometimes, things don't work as you plan and you have to accept that. Sometimes, the person you love the most has to leave your life. And what should you do? Begging for that person to stay? Praying to God day and night to bring them back? It's actually a very selfish action. You have to learn to let go. Remember that God have the best plan for us. We have to move on so that we can see other better opportunities waiting for us. Never cry over your ex-boyfriend. It's just the past and you should never try to go back. Once you say goodbye, it means you are ready for the next phase of your life. Why would you bring something that you've left behind along you? It just adds your burden. That's life. There's happiness and there's pain. There's a meeting and there's a goodbye. You just have to learn from the pain, say goodbye to it, move forward and never look back. I know that's hard, but the happiness you will get worth the pain. Just to ensure you, keep this quote in mind :

When you really love a person, set him free. If he returns, he will be yours forever. But if he doesn't, he never will.
