Been a long time since I ever had such a sweet dream. Always wishing people 'sweet dreams' but the same doesn't always come true for me till last Fri. Was sleeping in my bunk that night due to shooting range the next day.
Well, not there where it started off, but the story goes like this:
I happen to know a couple of close female friends, Samantha and let's call the other girl T.
I don't know why the other girl is called Samantha but she just is! So coincidentally, they both liked me!
Something which will so not happen in real life. And on a particular day, both of them, within the hour confessed to me. Stunned I was, and so I took some time to think through my feelings.
After giving it much thought, I met up with Samantha to tell her what I feel. I avoided beating around the bush and told her pretty straight in the face that T was the girl I like. She, being a girl afterall, couldn't take it and ran away crying. I felt bad for breaking her heart but I have no other choice at that time.
A few days later, I also told T how I felt towards her and that she agreed to go out with me. The date was nice and I knew that T really was the girl of my dreams then.
Poof! My alarm rings and I'm thrown all the way back to reality. And so the saying goes, good things never last and how true it was. Even though it was only a dream and nothing but a dream, I somehow felt happy about it. Not sure of the reason myself, I just am glad that in my dreams I was able to move on with life.
Many times in life we are faced with a very emotional or challenging period in time. And there are always 3 ways to go about it. Most people, afraid of trying new things, will remain in the same stage, dazed and unsure of what to do. The next group of people are afraid of losing something, even though evidently they lost it. Thus this group go move backwards and try to remedy it, usually without success. The final group of people, are truthful about what had happened and accepted the fact that it happened. And they know that the only way to overcome it, is to move on.
Moving on, to many, are seen as a great challenge. It involves much great willpower to want to do something that the majority wouldn't even think about. It not only involves taking risk, but also the chance to be put through yet another obstacle. Not many are willing to be put through pain again and again. Yet moving on is the only way out of this rat race. One definitely have got to put behind one's bad experiences and embrace life with all that you got. Only then, one has move on and only then has one truly matured.
Have you moved on yet?
