I just bought a new beginning instead


There are so many things to talk about when it comes to love. It's such a powerful emotion that anyone can relate to. It can be the love for one's country, people, friends, family, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc. It cannot really be defined by anyone because people have their own definition about it based on their experience of it. And for me, it is something special and shared with not just with a significant other but also to my friends and family.

But of course, there are also things about love that are really hard to accept. It is the reality that when there is love, there is pain. The two always go together in life, and you learn that one as days go by. It's such a hard thing to accept that, and it will really take time for you to finally accept it. Imagine, you have to go through five stages - In denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Each stage is a struggle, but as you go through each stage you've come to realize that you're also learning. Let's just say that I believe that when a person is in pain, he/she learns to be stronger, better, and wiser. You learn to be more realistic with life, that there's really no happy endings or that you can't have everything that you want. It may sound as bitter as it gets, but sometimes you have to feel and experience things for you to be able to learn new things in life.

Whatever a person's definition of love is, I still believe that it is something that connects people in this world. And no matter how tough or struggle that people experience about it, it still what gives people hope in the end. Well, if someone finally realizes that happy endings do not really happen (except to the rare ones), it's not too late to have a new beginnings. If you lose something, it will be replaced that could possibly be better. And yes, people will be able to learn to love again like it's never going to hurt. It's one of the best cycles in life that makes everything more interesting that people learn in the process.
