But the one thing I wish I'd forget the memory I wanna forget

It’s already about 10 in the evening and still I can’t sleep. I finally got back our Internet connection so I was able to surf only after I finished studying and doing my homework. Tomorrow’s our interaction with the Claretians and I’m so excited about it! However, I just read a classmate’s blog that she just called it “quits” a few days ago. I feel sorry about her and now I’m thinking about the situation.

Being in a relationship can make you feel like you’re in wonderland. You are at the time of your life when you are so in love with someone who loves you back. There goes the sweet text messages, movie dates, holding hands, and celebrating your monthsary. Then there’s someone who’ll say “I love you” before you go to sleep and tell you everyday how beautiful you are. You find yourself writing romantic quotes and listening to “your” song.

And it happens: the two of you calling it quits.

Breaking up is so painful. You throw away all of the memories you’ve shared together, including the teddy bear he gave you on your first monthsary. You erase his cellphone number on your phone memory. You hate him so much you want him to be your punching bag. It hurts. It stinks. It takes a while before you become yourself again. You turn to your friends and cry. A few days later, you realize how much you missed when you were still single.

Do you know what I mean? The joys and perks of a relationship.
