On Signs & Giving Up

I always have this habit of asking for signs whenever I’m unsure about something. Recently I asked for three signs—unusual and hard to find signs. I wasn’t really thinking about it much. I have actually forgotten all about it. Not until the week after when I got all three. It just popped out right at me without any warning at all. It was strange, weird in a good kind of way.

All three positive signs in a span of just a week. I don’t know if you can call it a coincidence. The signs I got were supposed to help me answer everything. I told myself that if I got the signs, I was going to follow its outcome, no more questions asked. And now that I got it, it’s ironic how I ended up doing the exact opposite. Ang gulo ko talaga minsan.

When we have something valuable, we never let go. We hold on to it and keep it as long as we can. But sometimes it’s beyond our control when circumstances call for us to do otherwise. While we want to fight for it, a part of us is also scared (and sometimes tired) to do so. When we are constantly faced with doubts, we eventually begin to question whether it is indeed meant for us. Choosing to let go does not mean we’re weak because it’s no mean feat to give up something that we hold close to our heart. It takes a lot of courage to end something that has already become a part of us.

Letting go also does not always mean we don’t want it anymore. Sometimes it’s also a matter of the circumstances that we’re surrounded in…sort of like being with the right person but at the wrong time or being at the right time but with the wrong person, whichever you fancy. Perhaps we should never close our doors just yet because maybe some things (or person) are just not meant for us, for now. But we’ll never know when destiny will give us another chance and we’ll get to have it again. This time it’s going to be better, and it's going to last a lifetime.
