Big Girls Don't Cry

Watching PBB housemate Geeann giving up Pamela, her most treasured doll may seem funny at first. Why would somebody cry so much for a doll right? But then after awhile you’d slowly understand where she’s coming from. The doll has been with her since she was a child. Pamela has been her constant comfort friend for years. Parting will always not be easy.

Each one of us probably have our own share of experiences of losing or having to part with something (or someone). The decision to let go is hard as it is. But it’s the moving on after the letting go part that’s really a big bummer (sorry for the lack of word). It’s not easy to lose all so suddenly the familiarity, constant-ness, bond that you’ve grown so accustomed to. It’s like a comfort security blanket thing that we hold on to dearly. Some have placed a sentimental attachment to it, while some see it as their emotional investment, while some have a deep personal commitment to it…all of which makes it so hard to part away with once the planets conspire and calls you to do what you’ve been dreading—to let go and give up on it.

It takes a whole lot of getting used to in dealing with the initial absence. There isn’t really any trick to make that not-so-good feeling go away. You just have to be strong, accept it, and learn to deal with it.
